Question

About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected（感染）in this matter. Perhaps, after all ,it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades (影子) of  green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green— a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a different thing to explain. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones（錐狀細胞）” . These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors. These are also millions of “rods“（桿狀細胞），but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.

Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:D
小題4:C
小題5:B

試題分析：
小題1:根據詞的意思可知：color“顏色”，blindness“失明”，所以color blindness就是“色盲”的意思。
小題2:通過閱讀第一段，我們可知，婦女開車之所以更安全，是因為她們很少是色盲，很容易區分顏色，特別是交通燈。所以本題選D。
小題3:通過These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors.可知，“cones”能幫助我們分辨顏色，所以本題應該選D“將黃色與橙色區分開”。
小題4:通過 Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue 可知，我們應該利用蚊子喜歡藍色的特性，用藍光吸引蚊子，從而消滅文中。所以本題選C。
小題5:通過閱讀全文可知，ACD都太絕對，是錯誤的；而B的意思是“并非所有的男人在認識顏色方面存在相同的問題。”很明顯是正確的。
點評：本文是有關色盲的文章。文章從什么是色盲，色盲的種類，色盲的原因以及動物的色盲等四個方面講述了色盲。完成本題時應該熟讀短文，注意對色盲一些細節的描述，應該根據已有的信息，加以合理的推測。還應注意上下文之間的關系。
