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. A blue sky, for example, indicates calm weather, which【C7】______ explain why blue tends to be a (n)【C8】______ color across cultures. Dark yellows and oranges,【C9】______, invoke urine, vomit and rotting food.【C10】______expected, there is usually a drop in preference【C11】______ these colors in studies around the world.
【C12】______ those general trends, there are wide-ranging differences among individuals about which colors they like. As part of a【C13】______of experiments, the researchers showed slide shows of colored objects to a group of【C14】______. They found that people preferred whichever color had been linked to the【C15】______ images they saw, whether red or green.

选项
A、focused
B、carried
C、dwelt
D、depended
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。句意同上。由原文可知,科学家认为进化与人们对颜色的喜爱有关,所以他们把注意力放在了进化上,因此选择focused(on)“集中于”。其他选项虽也可与空格后的介词on连用,分别构成carry on“继续”,dwell on“老是想着”,depend on“视……而定”,但代入句中均不符合文意,因此排除。
