　　(2012·安徽高考·B)

　　[1]Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

　　[2]The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians，green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China，children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸)．

　　[3]People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions(反应)toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.

　　[4]Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites(食欲)．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly，many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye.

　　[5]Blue is another calming color.Unlike red，blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

　　[6]The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room，think about the color carefully.

　　63．Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?

　　A．Colors and Human Beings

　　B．The Cultural Meaning of Color

　　C．Colors and Personal Experiences

　　D．The Meaning and Function of Color

　　【解析】　D。主旨大意题。全文以green，red，blue等颜色为例阐述了不同颜色的文化意义和作用。A"颜色与人类"，题目过于宽泛；B"颜色的文化意义"没有涵盖颜色的作用，文章从第三段起就主要说明颜色的作用；C"颜色和个人经历"在第二段的首句提到，但是不能涵盖全文的内容。文章第一段以问句开始，以引起读者的兴趣，接着从颜色的文化意义和颜色的作用两个方面展开说明，故答案为D项。
