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. 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.

选项
A、distaste
B、dissatisfaction
C、disbelief
D、disappointment
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:……最不喜欢的是红色和白色——他们的对手斯坦福大学的代表色。显然,该句对比了伯克利大学学生对颜色的好恶:喜欢自己学校的代表色,厌恶对手学校的代表色。因此该选项应与句子前半部分的preference“偏爱”意义相对,而distaste意为“不喜欢”,故为正确选项。dissatisfaction“不满”,disbelief“不信任”和disappointment“失望”均不能与preference构成反义词,所以不符合文意,排除。
