Color is in everything we touch, taste, smell and feel. It evokes(唤起) emotion without any thought.1.We are all familiar with it, but do you know the following facts?
Silver will save your life. When buying a new car and finding yourself facing various choices, you can’t think clearly. Your best choice is to go with silver. Silvercolored cars are least likely to be involved in a car accident. 2. Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.
3. Tough prisoners and crazy patients?It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who are out of control. So it surely has a useful place and a purpose, other than decorating a dress or Barbie's dream house.
Yellow makes you hungry. Yellow and orange are not recommended for use in kitchens, as they have a positive influence on your appetite.4. I’m not normally one for conspiracy(阴谋) theories but perhaps there’s something in it for them if we remain ignorant of yellow’s effects.
Color is an imaginary friend. Technically, it’s all in our heads: color does not exist at all. 5. So, if you start a heated debate over color combinations with someone that you are certain has a low IQ or is just colorblind,remember it's a pointless argument and you should drop it instantly. You're both wrong.
A. Pink comforts the nerves.
B. Blue is the most common favorite color.
C. They are most noticeable on the road and in low light.
D. Yellowcolored walls seldom leave us wanting more food.
E. It can be the focus of our careers, our lifestyle and the fun we have.
F. Then where would our restaurant owners be without the clever tricks?
G. Color tries to make sense of the huge amount of information from the outer world.

高三英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析
Adult butterflies use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry predators.
Sight
Butterflies have large, compound (multifaceted) eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a large stand of flowers rather than individual plants. Butterflies do not "see" colors such as red, green, and yellow, but sense polarized(偏振的) light, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to nectar (花蜜)sources.
Smell
Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it's not in their nose (since they don't have one). Sense receptors located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body help butterflies find food (usually flower nectar), and mates (the female smells the male's pheromones).
Taste
Butterfly's feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in nectar, letting the butterfly know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also taste host plants in order to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies and moths feed using a proboscis, a long, coiled tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.
Hearing
Butterflies don't have ears. Instead they "hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.
Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet because their anatomy is very different than ours, and therefore difficult to understand when perceived through our own human senses.
1.From the passage we can know that butterflies can see_____
A. thing behind them B. thing in the distance
C. most bright colors D. flower nectar from a distance
2. Butterflies can easily find food resources by using their______.
A. sense organs of sight and smell B. sense organs of sight and taste
C. sense organs of smell and hearing D. sense organs of smell and taste
3. How do butterflies feed themselves?
A. by using their feet B. by using a tube.
C. by using sense receptors D. by using their wings.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The food sources of butterflies. B. The habits of butterflies.
C. The unusual body of butterflies. D. the sense of butterflies.

The Impossible Burger is entirely free of meat. But it looks, smells, feels and—most importantly—tastes so much like real hamburger beef. In fact, plant-based burger alternatives have set off a strong resistance from the beef industry. The Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of the fast food and meat industries has launched an “informational” campaign targeting plant-based meats. The campaign has included TV and online ads, as well as print ads in newspapers. The ads seem to imply that not only is an artificial burger too processed, but that it might be even less healthy than the average beef burger.
While it’s true that a plant-based meat alternative is processed and it’s true that eating one is not as healthy as a pile of raw vegetables, it’s best to take the ads with a generous pinch of salt.
For instance, the additives and preservatives in plant-based meat highlighted in one ad sure sound scary. Who wants something called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) in their meal? But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods. And if methylcellulose, a food thickener, sounds unpleasant, it’s really nothing compared with salmonella (沙门菌) poisoning you can get from regular meat.
Also, the ad campaign misses the bigger point. Choosing an Impossible or Beyond burger isn’t just about eating healthy. Burgers, whether they are made from processed pea protein or processed meat, will never be as healthy as organic raw vegetables.
What’s appealing is the prospect of enjoying a juicy burger without the bitter aftertaste of guilt.
Let’s face it, there are huge environmental costs to eating cows. Cattle raising is contributing to climate change, and not just because methane (甲烷) from cows and cattle is responsible for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas. More broadly, our global food production system releases more than a third of the world’s greenhouse gases. Yet we can’t seem to control our meat appetite even knowing that large areas of the Amazon forest have been ruined, and continue to be cut down to make room for more cattle to feed the growing demand for beef. Humans also know full well that many animals live short, cruel lives in awful conditions for the purpose of becoming foods for humans to enjoy at dinner.
A plant-based meat that satisfies meat desires and delivers protein but with a smaller climate footprint is a potential environmental game changer and the reason Impossible Foods was one of those receiving the U.N. Global Climate Action Award in 2019. No wonder the meat industry is on guard.
1.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.These ads deserve little consideration.
B.We should spread the message of these ads.
C.We’d better be cautious when reading these ads.
D.These ads tell people a lot about plant-based burgers.
2.What do we know about additives and preservatives in plant-based burgers?
A.They are likely to cause poisoning.
B.Their use is within the normal range.
C.Some have not been used in hamburgers.
D.They are used to ensure burgers taste good.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards plant-based burgers?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral.
C.Disapproving. D.Doubtful.
4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
