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、Besides
B、Given
C、Considering
D、Despite
答案
D
解析
介词辨析题。句意为:尽管有一些大的趋势,但在不同人之间就自己喜爱的颜色还是千差万别。该句在文中起到承上启下的作用,前半句概括了上文中人们对某些颜色的普遍喜好,后半句引起下文对具体情况的描述。由句巾前后部分的意思可以判断,二者是让步关系,因此选择despite“尽管”。besides“除……之外”,given“鉴于;倘若”和considering“考虑到……”都不符合二者的关系,所以排除。
