问题     About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of color blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.
    He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
    In certain occupations color blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean "Advance" and a red light may mean: "Danger! Keep back!" You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called "cones". These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of "rods" but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not color. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.
    Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colors. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colors at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.
    Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colors which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colors around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.
Which of the following is NOT true about insects?
选项 A、Insects can see more colors than human beings.
B、Insects can see ultraviolet rays which are invisible to men.
C、All insects have their favorite colors.
D、The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.
答案C
解析 推理题。关于昆虫的讲述在文中的最后两段中，从这两段的叙述中，我们知道，昆虫能看到许多我们人类看不见的颜色，它们所看到紫外线和x射线，这里讲到昆虫用的是表示类别的复数形式“insects”，代表的是所有的昆虫的共有特征，所以A、B、D的内容都是正确的，C的内容说所有的昆虫都有它们自己喜爱的颜色，而文中说的是一些昆虫有自己喜爱的颜色，所以C的内容不对，答案为C。
