问题     The fact that blind people can " see" things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about colour. If they can sense colour differences then perhaps we, too, are affected by colour unconsciously.
    Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, and that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the colour of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day colour with associations of energy and incentive. For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the colour of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defence and self - preservation. Experiments have shown that colours, partly because of their psychological association, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming colour. Because of its exciting connotations (涵义) , red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colours that stop the traffic dead.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
选项 A、The psychology of colour is of some practical use.
B、Colour probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.
C、People exposed to pure blue start to breathe slowly.
D、Yellow fire engines have caused many traffic accidents in some advanced communities.
答案D
解析 这也是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的Not。选项A，“颜色心理学具有某些实际作用”与文章第二段的第二句话“These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration．”即这些发现演变成为一门完整学科：颜色心理学。这门学科现在运用在从时装到室内装饰等各个领域的意思相符。而选项B，“颜色可能对我们产生影响，而我们对此没有察觉”与文章第一段的最后一句话：“If they can sense colour differences then perhaps we，too，are affected by colour unconsciously．”即如果他们(盲人)能感觉到颜色的差异，那么也许我们也在无意中受到颜色的影响的意思相对应。选项C，“接触到蓝色的人们会呼吸平缓”对应文章的倒数第二句话“Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect；it is a calming colour．”意思是：“同样，接触到蓝色会有相反的效果.蓝色是让人镇定的颜色。”。最后，只有选项D，“黄色消防车在一些高档社区制作了许多交通事故”与文章最后一句话的意思正好相反，因此答案选D。
