选项
A、effective
B、substantial
C、preliminary
D、contemporary
答案
C
解析
形容词辨析题。句意为:在另外一项初步的研究中,调查者发现伯克利大学最看重学校团队精神的学生最喜欢的颜色是蓝色和金色,因为这是他们学校的代表色……。通读整篇文章可知,作者用started to,first,experimentally等字眼强调:有关颜色的研究是初步的、试验性的。因此preliminary“初步的;预备的”符合文章的基调,为最佳选项。而effective“有效的”,substantial“重大的;价值巨大的”和contemporary“当代的”都与文意不符,故排除。
