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】______.

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、extensively
B、definitely
C、temporarily
D、experimentally
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。句意同上。由上下文可知,基于人们长期以来的猜想,科学家首次进行了这项研究,因此experimentally“试验地”最符合该研究的性质,为正确选项。而extensively“广泛地”,temporarily“暂时地”与句意联系不紧密,故排除;definitely“确切地”与句意相反,故排除。
