【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了冷暖兩種色調(diào)的特點(diǎn)和應(yīng)用。

【1】句意：它們通常能讓人更加活躍。

active活躍的，積極的；nervous緊張的；serious嚴(yán)肅的；quiet安靜的。根據(jù)后文“red is exciting.”紅色是使人激動(dòng)的，可知暖色調(diào)是讓人活潑的。故選A。

【2】句意：因此，喜歡與他人一起工作的好交際的人喜歡紅色。

blue 藍(lán)色；red紅色；green綠色；purple紫色。根據(jù)前文“Warm colors are red…red is exciting.”暖色調(diào)如紅色，橘色和黃色能給人活潑的感覺，讓人們更加地活躍，好交際的人一般也比較活潑，喜歡這些顏色，所以要選擇暖色調(diào)。故選B。

【3】句意：這些顏色讓人平靜。

stand up站立起來；warm up溫暖；calm down（使）平靜下來；break down發(fā)生故障。根據(jù)后文“When people… usually quiet.”當(dāng)人們身處在冷色調(diào)的房間里，他們通常會(huì)安靜下來，可知冷色調(diào)使人冷靜。故選C。

【4】句意：喜歡獨(dú)處的人更偏愛藍(lán)色。

again再次；quickly快速地；carefully小心地；alone單獨(dú)地。根據(jù)上文“sociable (好交際的) people who like to work with others like red.”喜歡暖色調(diào)的人喜歡和他人一起工作，那么相反，喜歡冷色的人喜歡獨(dú)處。故選D。

【5】句意：科學(xué)家們同樣發(fā)現(xiàn)了暖色調(diào)能產(chǎn)生一種溫暖的感覺，與充滿冷色調(diào)的房間相比，待在暖色調(diào)的房間里時(shí)間似乎會(huì)過得更快。

and和；except除了；or否則；than 更。前文more quickly提示此句為比較級，是暖色調(diào)房間和冷色調(diào)房間二者的對比。故選D。

【6】句意：因此紅色和橘色這類的暖色調(diào)適合用在餐廳里。

So所以；Because因?yàn)椋?/span>But但是；Or否則。前文敘述了人待在暖色調(diào)空間比待在冷色調(diào)空間里感覺時(shí)間流失的更快，所以此處講到冷暖色調(diào)的實(shí)際應(yīng)用，帶有順承性和遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。故選A。

【7】句意：冷色調(diào)更適合辦公室，因?yàn)樗�能讓正在工作的人感到�?zhèn)靜。

where指代地點(diǎn)；who指代人；when指代時(shí)間；what什么。本題考查定語從句，are working是從句，先行詞是people，是人，所以關(guān)系詞用who。故選B。

【8】句意：……感到鎮(zhèn)靜和放松。

bored感到無聊；nervous緊張的；relaxed 放松的；excited激動(dòng)的。根據(jù)前文“When people are … usually quiet”可知冷色調(diào)能讓人安靜，讓人心緒平和，與calm相近的是relaxed。故選C。

【9】句意：但是，幾乎所有人都認(rèn)同暖色調(diào)讓人想起溫暖的日子，冷色調(diào)讓人想起寒冷的日子。

nobody沒有人；anybody任何人；everybody每一個(gè)人；somebody有些人。本文都在討論冷暖色調(diào)給人不同的感覺，這是一種大家都這樣認(rèn)為的、一種普遍的感覺，所以用everybody。故選C。

【10】句意：暖色調(diào)讓人想起溫暖的日子，冷色調(diào)讓人想起寒冷的日子。

on在……上；at在（某處）；in在……里面；of……的。根據(jù)“cool colours remind them of cool days.”可知，前后結(jié)構(gòu)是一樣的，remind of想起……。故選D。
