It is our experiences that determine which colors we prefer,【C2】______a new study, which was the first to【C3】______ test the long-suspected idea that people like the colors of the things they like. In their【C4】______ to understand why people like certain colors, scientists have【C5】______on evolution.

选项
A、to
B、for
C、in
D、over
答案
B
解析
介词辨析题。句意同上。句中的these colors指的是深黄色、橙色这些令人产生不好联想的颜色,所以对这些颜色的喜爱会减少。preference for…表示“对……的喜爱",符合句意,因此为正确选项。preference与to连用表示“不喜欢……",例如I chose this in preference to that.(我选了这个而不要那个);而preference后面接over时,则表示“比……有优先权";in不与preference连用,均排除。
