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.

选项
A、temptation
B、attempts
C、triumphs
D、contempt
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:在科学家们试图理解人们喜欢某种颜色的原因时,他们把注意力放在了世界的进化过程上。文章第一句已经确立了全文的主线:科学家们开始了解到人们喜欢某种颜色的原因。因此,所做的研究都是初步的、试验性的。所以attempt“试图”符合语境,为正确答案。其他选项temptation“诱惑”,triumph“成功”和contempt“蔑视”不符合文意,故排除。
