It is our experiences that determine which colors we prefer,【C2】______a new study, which was the first to【C3】______ test the long-suspected idea that people like the colors of the things they like. In their【C4】______ to understand why people like certain colors, scientists have【C5】______on evolution. The main theory is that we like colors that are【C6】______ to things that are healthy and promote survival. A blue sky, for example, indicates calm weather, which【C7】______ explain why blue tends to be a (n)【C8】______ color across cultures. Dark yellows and oranges,【C9】______, invoke urine, vomit and rotting food.【C10】______expected, there is usually a drop in preference【C11】______ these colors in studies around the world.
【C12】______ those general trends, there are wide-ranging differences among individuals about which colors they like.

选项
A、attached
B、tied
C、referred
D、adjusted
答案
B
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:主要理论是我们喜欢的颜色与健康且有利于生存的事物相关。该句中有两个that引导的定语从句,分别修饰colors和things,该空格处在第一个定语从句中,可以推断,这一定语从句表示了颜色和事物的相关性,因此用tied,在原文中构成be tied to“与……有关联”,符合句意,为正确选项。而be attached to“成为……的一部分”,be referred to“被提及,被提交”,beadjusted to“调整以适应……”代入句中均不符合文意,所以排除。
