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.

【C9】
选项
A、to some extent
B、in addition
C、on the contrary
D、on the other hand
答案
D
解析
短语辨析题。句意为:另一方面,深黄色和橙色令人联想起尿液、呕吐物和腐烂的食物。联系上句可知,这两句话从两个不同的方面举例说明不同颜色给人以不同的感受:用深黄色和橙色与受人喜爱的蓝色进行对比。选项中表示对比意义的只有on the other hand。on the contrary“正相反”,表示对前面说法的否定;to some extent“在一定程度上”,in addition“而且”都不能正确表示上下文的关系,因此排除。
