此部分共有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题。请从每个问题后的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。

Passage 1

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.

A. anyone can choose his color preference in his life

Passage 2

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few — for example; the average among students is about 6 per person.

Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term "friendship". In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.

At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.

We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signal that shy people often have difficulty in making friends, A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.

Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests -- they often talk about "being on the same wavelength". The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

11. According to the passage, a friend is ______.

    A. somebody we usually take for granted

    B. a person with whom we often go out with

    C. someone with whom we occasionally go for a long trip

D. not just anybody we get on well with

Passage 3

Of all systems of symbols，language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings， by agreement， can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed，in the course of centuries of mutual (相互的) dependency，to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs，throats，tongues，teeth，and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous system. We call that system of agreements language.

There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head， by gold on the watch chain， or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in， so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.

However obvious these facts may appear at first glance， they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other，yet we all have a way of feeling as if， and sometimes acting as if， there were necessary connections. For example，there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature：foreigners have such funny names for things， and why can‘t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said： “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals，” they feel that the symbol is inherently (内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.

16. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______.

A. have made use of language for centuries

B. use our nervous system to support language

C. have made various noises stand for any events

D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement
