研究中10个参与者中就有6个人在四次接触后学习了新的颜色与味道的搭配,据此可知上句的maynotbesetinstone应该是可以改变的,即:不是一成不变的。13.Whatdoesthefourthparagraphimply?A.Brandingandpackagingaremoreimportant.B.Colorcannotinfluencethetasteofanewfood.C.Peoplecanbelievetheirexperiencesandexpectations.D.Seeingisnotalwaysbelievingfornewfoodproducts.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据本段第一句:Whatconsumersexpectwhentheyseeafoodpreparesthemselvestotastecertainflavors,因为人们对于自己看到的食物是有期待的味道的,倒数两句:Theyrelyonvisualexpectationstopullcustomersintounfamiliarproduct.Insomecases,colorcanoverpowerothersensesandconvincepeopletheytasteflavorsthataren’tthere.所以生产商也利用视觉期待达到自己的销售目的,有些情况下颜色甚至能蒙骗人们的其他感觉让他们尝到原本不存在的味道。14.Whatisadvisedinthelastparagraph?A.Don’triskchangingfoodcolorspletely.B.Changefoodcolorstogainmoreconsumers.C.Stickingonfamiliarpatternsisabiggamble.D.Distinguishtrueorfalsecustomerswithnewfoodcolors.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据本段第一句Althoughitmaybepossibletototallychangefoodcolors,itmaynotbeadvisable.和最后一句Whileit’sinterestingthatconsumerexpectationsforcolorscouldshift,theriskofunexpectedcolorsishighforanypany.可知这个赌注太大,风险过高。-14-/14
15.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A.Whatcanbedonetofindatastyfood?B.Howdeeparecolor-tasteassociations?C.Doyouknowthecolorofwhatyou’reeating?D.Isthereanythingmysteriouswithfoodproducts?【解析】选B。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段AnewstudyfromPennStateconfirmslongstandingresearchintotherelationshipbetweencolorandtaste.Whatconsumersseewhentheyeatmattersasmuch—ifnotmore—thanwhattheytaste.宾夕法尼亚州大学长期以来进行的一项研究证实了颜色和味道之间的联系,人们看到的远比吃到的重要。后面从不同方面讲了食物与颜色之间长久的瓜葛,生产商也注意到此,从颜色、包装和品牌方面打造食物,迎合消费者,甚至以假乱真,可知颜色与味道之间的渊源真的是太深了。Ⅱ.阅读填句 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。TipstoBeaMoreSustainableTraveler Unmanagedtourismcandamageculturalsites. 1 Nowtravelresponsiblywiththesesimpleguidelines. ●Knowthehistory.Beforeyoutravel,readuponthehistoryandcultureofyourdestination.UsetheInternettogetleadsonlocalspecialtiesandoff-the-beaten-pathsitesfromlocalsandothertravelers. 2 -14-/14
