2．New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue，you may also be seeing it differently．A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech．Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you，according to a new study．A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors．
The team，led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester，found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis（軸線），compared to people who weren't feeling sad．
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena，like mood．even when these concepts seem unrelated，"Thorstenson said in a statement．"We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way．"
Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition．In 2010，Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression．This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore．
The team conducted two studies．In the first，127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips，which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness （a cartoon clip） or amusement （a stand-up comedy routine）．They didn't do that in a specific order．
The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches．The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis，although no difference was found along the red-green axis．
For the second study，130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one．The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group．Again，there was no difference along the red-green axis．
Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis，the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort，or focus．If the subjects were badly focused，they would have performed equally badly along both color axes．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了人在不同感情下看到的顏色是不一樣的．
解答 32．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors．可知如果一個人感到悲傷，他看到的顏色跟其他人的不一樣，故選D．
33．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第四段In 2010，Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression．可知伊曼紐爾和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)是第一個找出情緒和識別顏色之間的聯(lián)系的，故選A．
34．C 推理判斷題，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group．Again，there was no difference along the red-green axis．可知第二次研究中的悲傷群體不能夠識別一些顏色，故選C．
35．A 詞義猜測題，根據(jù)第五段The team conducted two studies．In the first，127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips，which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness （a cartoon clip） or amusement （a stand-up comedy routine）可知他們隨機(jī)選取127名參與者觀看兩個視頻片段中的一個，這兩個視頻片段在以前的研究中被證明可以感覺到悲傷或娛樂，故選A．
點(diǎn)評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
