问题     We all associate colors with feelings and attitudes. In politics dark blue often means "tradition", and red means "social change. " But blue can also mean sadness (I’m feeling blue), white is often for purity, although in China white is worn for funerals, and red is used to express the joy of a wedding; in western Europe white is worn at weddings and black for funerals. Advertisers are aware of the importance of selecting colors according to the way people react to them. Soap powders come in white and light blue packets (clean and cold, like ice); cereals often come in brown packets (like wheat fields), but cosmetics never come in brown jars (dirty!).
    Where do these ideas come from? Max Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was dictated by two factors beyond our control: night and day. Night brought passivity, and a general slowing down of metabolism (新陈代谢); day brought with it the possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, thus providing us with energy and initiative. Dark blue, therefore, is the color of quiet and passivity, bright yellow the color of hope and activity.
    In prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were hunting and attacking, or we were being hunted and defending ourselves against attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self-preservation by its complement green.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项 A、Dark blue brings tragedy.
B、Dark blue means tradition.
C、Dark blue represents night.
D、Dark blue indicates quietness.
答案A
解析 本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪个选项是不正确的。针对四个选项所给的内容，利用查阅式阅读法，结合原文内容，我们发现文章第一段第二句指出，在政界，深蓝色常意味着“传统”；第二段第四句指出，深蓝色意昧着“安宁”、“被动”。而“被动”与“平静”又与夜晚相联。由此可见，B、C、D表达的内容是正确的。只有A“深蓝色与悲剧相联”文章中没有提到。所以，选项A是本题的正确答案。
