选项 A、enthusiastic
B、visual
C、striking
D、positive

答案 D

解析 形容词辨析题。句意为:他们(研究人员)发现,无论是红色还是绿色,人们喜欢的颜色都与所看到的有积极意义的图像相关。由句中preferred“更喜欢”可以推断,他们喜欢这种图像所带有的颜色,那么这种图像应该是正面的,positive“积极的;正面的;怀有希望的”符合句意,故为正确选项。enthusiastic“热情的;热心的”通常只修饰人,而不能在该句中修饰image“图像”,所以排除;visual“视觉的;看得见的”和striking“显著的;引人注目的”虽能说明图像的性质,但和颜色的喜好关系不大,因此排除。
