Yellow or pink flowers? The green or blue sweater? We make decisions about color all the time. Now, scientists are starting to figure【C1】______ why we like the colors we do.
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. As part of a【C13】______of experiments, the researchers showed slide shows of colored objects to a group of【C14】______. They found that people preferred whichever color had been linked to the【C15】______ images they saw, whether red or green.
In another【C16】______ study, the researchers found that Berkeley students who【C17】______ highest in school spirit had the strongest preferences for blue and gold, their school’s colors, and the most【C18】______ for red and white, the colors of their rival Stanford. Spirited
Stanford students showed the opposite【C19】______, suggesting that social connections can influence which colors we like at different times in our lives.
People are generally interested in the subtle differences between people and what has【C20】______ that. Color provides a tool to understand why we like some things more than others.

选项
A、Besides
B、Given
C、Considering
D、Despite
答案
D
解析
介词辨析题。句意为:尽管有一些大的趋势,但在不同人之间就自己喜爱的颜色还是千差万别。该句在文中起到承上启下的作用,前半句概括了上文中人们对某些颜色的普遍喜好,后半句引起下文对具体情况的描述。由句巾前后部分的意思可以判断,二者是让步关系,因此选择despite“尽管”。besides“除……之外”,given“鉴于;倘若”和considering“考虑到……”都不符合二者的关系,所以排除。
