17、ant see differences in coloursso-called colour-blindnessdue to a defect or absence of certain cells in their eyes. But the distribution of these cells also varies across people with “normal vision”， causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.Language affects our colour p

18、erception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool colours in those languages, and light as warm colours.

19、So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for “colours” at all.Remarkably, most of the worlds languages have five basic colour terms. As well as dark, li

20、ght, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separat

21、e terms for blueone referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two different terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after li

There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour termblue.Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only in colour. Scientists are now investigating how different languages change the way we pe

23、rceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。不仅色盲或某些细胞的分布差异会影响人们对颜色的认知，语言对颜色的认知也有很大的影响不同的语言和文化群体对颜色有不同的分类。1What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2？ C A.

25、r to D .Ayellow and redBwarm colours and cold coloursCdark and lightDblue and green解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Remarkably，most of the worlds languages have five basic colour terms.As well as dark，light，and red，these languages typically have a term for yellow，and a term that refers to both blue and green.”可知，世界

26、上大多数语言都有五个基本的颜色术语，它们通常有一个术语同时表示蓝色和绿色。故D项正确。3What do we know about the Russian language？ B A. It classifies colours as either warm colours or cold colours.BIt has more than one word for the colour blue.CIt mainly describes objects in terms of their colours.DIt has only five basic terms to describe co

27、lours.解析：细节理解题。根据第四段尾句“Also，Russian，Greek，Turkish and manyother languages have two separate terms for blueone referring exclusively to darker shades，and one referring to lighter shades.”可知，俄语、希腊语、土耳其语和许多其他语言都有两个不同的术语来形容蓝色一个专门指深色，另一个指浅色。故B项正确。4Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in the

29、时间后，他们更可能认为这两种颜色是一样的。在英语中，这两种颜色用同一个基本颜色术语来描述蓝色。据此可推知，作者提及在英国生活的希腊人是为了说明“社会环境(语言环境)会影响我们对颜色的感知。”这一观点。故A项正确。.阅读七选五(2021湖北省荆门市高三联考)Customs on either side of the AtlanticWe all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.

35、绍了英国和美国的风俗习惯。解析：1由“We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language. But in fact, 1 . As BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans.”可知，众所周知，英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。近日，BBC就刊登了一篇文章，题为“八种情境：英美人的不同表现”。所以该题既要与上文为转折关系，又要

36、承接下文。故C选项“探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣”切题。故选C项。2由“chances are that the victim will say “sorry” before the other can make his or her own apology.”可知，被撞者则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。所以该题是条件状语从句的从句，说明如果被撞的碰巧是英国人，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。且话题一致。故E选项“如果被撞的碰巧是英国人”切题。故选E项。3由“Britons dont all change into evening dress for suppe

37、r like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.”可知，享用晚餐时，英国人虽然不会像热门英剧唐顿庄园中那样人人身着晚礼服，但在去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆

38、。所以本段主要在说晚宴穿什么也就是该题本段的标题所要说明的内容。故选A项。4由“When dining out at a restaurant, 4 . They think the food is somehow tainted once theyve poked at it with a knife and fork.”可知，外出就餐时，因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后便被“玷污”了。所以该题要补充出时间状语从句的主句，也要承接下文。故F选项“英国人不会将剩饭剩菜打包带走”切题。故选F项。5由“Even if theyre being taken in a roundabout wa

39、y”可知，甚至在看见司机绕路时。所以该题要补充是让步状语从句的主句，说明甚至在看见司机绕路时，会怎么办。故D选项“他们也会一言不发”切题。故选D项。.语法填空(2020昆明市“三诊一模”)Because of Richard Sears enthusiasm for 1.traditional (tradition) Chinese culture, he began learning Chinese in 1972. 2.Attracted (attract) by the ancient language, Sears often went back and forth between C

41、Chinese ancient books. In 2002, the Jiaguwen enthusiasts website 5.was created (create), though with only a few page views per day in the beginning.

44、辑主语Sears构成动宾关系，故用过去分词作原因状语。所以填Attracted。3考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为名词，被冠词a修饰。所以填decision。4考查代词。It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间”。是固定句型。所以填It。5考查动词时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作谓语，又与句子主语the Jiaguwen enthusiasts website构成被动关系，故用被动结构，即bedone，且时间状语是In 2002，故用一般过去时的被动语态形式，又主语是第三人称单数。所以填was created。6考查介词。根据语境可知，空处表示“通过”的含义。所以填on/by/through。7考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为副词形式作状语。所以填instantly。8考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个定语从句，且在从句中作主语，代指前面整个主句。所以填which。9考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故空处用动名词形式作介词短语Apart from的宾语。所以填taking。10考查名词单复数形式。activity是可数名词，且与空前的some呼应，故用复数形式。所以填activities。
