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 color. If they can sense color differences then perhaps we too, are affected by color unconsciously.
    Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics (化妆品) 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 color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and excitement For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly be-cause of their physiological associations, 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 color. Because of its exciting connotations (内涵), 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 colors that stop the traffic dead.
Which of the following could be the most suitable title?
选项 A、The Discipline of Color Psychology
B、Color and Its Connotations
C、The Practical Use of Color
D、Color and Feelings
答案D
解析 主旨大意题。文章的标题通常会揭示文章的主题或大意，文章开头第1句中就出现了关键词feelings about color，第2段中作者举出多种不同颜色为例，解释人们看见这些颜色时的不同感觉和反应，可以找出诸如rage，exciting，calming等表示情感的关键词，由此可推断本文应与颜色及情感有关，即选项D。其他选项都只是文章涉及的不同侧面细节，不能涵盖全文主题。
