In their【C4】______ to understand why people like certain colors, scientists have【C5】______on evolution. The main theory is that we like colors that are【C6】______ to things that are healthy and promote survival.

【C12】______ those general trends, there are wide-ranging differences among individuals about which colors they like. As part of a【C13】______of experiments, the researchers showed slide shows of colored objects to a group of【C14】______. They found that people preferred whichever color had been linked to the【C15】______ images they saw, whether red or green.

选项
A、to some extent
B、in addition
C、on the contrary
D、on the other hand
答案
D
解析
短语辨析题。句意为:另一方面,深黄色和橙色令人联想起尿液、呕吐物和腐烂的食物。联系上句可知,这两句话从两个不同的方面举例说明不同颜色给人以不同的感受:用深黄色和橙色与受人喜爱的蓝色进行对比。选项中表示对比意义的只有on the other hand。on the contrary“正相反”,表示对前面说法的否定;to some extent“在一定程度上”,in addition“而且”都不能正确表示上下文的关系,因此排除。
