Ⅲ. Cloze test (1×20=20)
One day a small opening appeared on a
cocoon(茧). A man sat and watched the butterfly for
several hours as it was struggling to 36 its body through that little hole. Then
it seemed to stop making any 37 . It appeared as if it had gotten 38 it could that it could go no further. So
the man decided to 39 the butterfly; he took a pair of scissors
and 40 the remaining part of the cocoon. The
butterfly then 41 easily.
But it had a swollen(肿胀的) body and 42 wings. The man continued to 43 the butterfly because he expected
that, at any moment, the 44 would enlarge and expand to be able to
support the body, which would contract in time. But 45
happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of his life crawling
around with a swollen body and small wings. It 46 was able to fly. What the man did in his 47 and haste did no 48 to the butterfly. He didn’t know the
restrictive(局限性的) cocoon and the struggle 49 for the butterfly to get through the tiny
50 were the natural way of forcing fluid（液体） from the body of the butterfly into its wings 51 it would be ready for flight once it
achieved its 52 from the cocoon.
Sometimes the 53 is exactly what we need in our life. If
we were allowed to 54 our life without any 55 , it would not be a good thing to
us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

The fact that blind people can see things using other
parts of their bodies, apart from their eyes may help us to understand our
feeling about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too,
are affected by color without knowing it.
Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period
of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are
considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics should never be packed
in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology.
Some of our preferences for colors are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the
color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day
color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that
colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct
effect on people' s mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increase in
breathing speed, heart-beat and blood pressure; red is exciting. Pure blue has
exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen
as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce
a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now
rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars. .
59. The passage tells
us that salesmen have_________________,
A. found out that colors affect sales
B. discovered the relationship between color
and psychology
C. tried out colors on blind people
D. developed a special subject of color
psychology
60. It can be
inferred from the passage that ___________. .
A. foods sell well in green or blue
wrappings
B. blind people cannot sense color
difference
C. what color we prefer depends on our
state of mind
D. a bright yellow has exactly the opposite
effect to red
61. If people are
exposed to pure blue,_____________.
A. their blood pressure rises.
B. they won’t easily feel nervous
C. they want to taste blue foods D. they will feel like
buying things
62. The most
effective colour in the passage for warning people is ____________.
A. red B. bright yellow C. dark blue D. green
63. Which of the
following do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. Color and feelings B.
Color and Sales
C. The blind and colors
D. Preferences for colors
