(2024.湖南师大附中高二校考) It is no wonder that art plays a significant role in human life, of which colours are an essential part. As for the hidden meanings of colours used in art, we don't often think about them but they do work.
In a conceptual artwork, placement of colours at appropriate locations can make an amazing visual impact. 1_____ In an abstract art setting, using tints (色调) of colours creates a bright atmosphere and mild sensations of joy or peace.
Yellow is a colour that represents happiness or lack of courage, but a slightly darker shade of yellow used with a bright red can create a mood for adventure. 2_____ Bright yellow used with black conveys determination, confidence and power.
Not only that, if you're an artist trying to get across an idea, use colours and combinations to make a point. For example, an activist working on water conservation projects could use brown, yellow, blue, and orange to create a beautiful summer setting with children playing. 3_____
Additionally, right colours can attract business. If it is a food chain, use red and yellow to stress the sensation of hunger and increase customers' appetite. 4_____ If you're selling floor tiles (地砖), use blue and green in advertisements to impress upon potential buyers the calm, relaxing atmosphere your product will create.
5_____ As long as you create a harmony of colours and a deeper expression in your artwork without making an unpleasant visual impact, then the sky is the border.

答案： 1.A 根据前文“In a conceptual artwork, placement of colours at appropriate locations can make an amazing visual impact.”可知，在概念艺术作品中，在适当的位置设置颜色可以产生惊人的视觉冲击。后文应该具体解释该惊人的视觉冲击。A选项承接前文，指出该视觉冲击会给人留下持久的印象，形成呼应，符合语境。故选A。
2.E 根据前文“a slightly darker shade of yellow used with a bright red can create a mood for adventure”以及后文“Bright yellow used with black conveys determination, confidence and power.”可知，前文指出暗黄色可营造出冒险的气氛，后文指出亮黄色传达决心、信心和力量，设空处应该是二者的过渡色即稍浅的黄色对营造氛围产生的影响。E选项指出稍浅的黄色配上柔和的红色营造出欢快的氛围，符合语境。故选E。
3.G 根据前文“For example, an activist working on water conservation projects could use brown, yellow, blue, and orange to create a beautiful summer setting with children playing.”可知，此处强调一个从事水资源保护项目的活动家可以使用棕色、黄色、蓝色和橙色来创造一个美丽的夏日场景，并伴有孩子们玩耍的场面，这种颜色和场面的结合可以传达出水资源保护项目的想法。后文应该对该想法进行解释。G选项中的That指代前文的“颜色和场面的结合”，这种方式能够传达出为子孙后代保护水资源的重要性，与前文形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。
4.D 根据本段主旨句“Additionally, right colours can attract business.”以及前文“If it is a food chain, use red and yellow to stress the sensation of hunger and increase customers’ appetite.”可知，正确的颜色可以招揽生意，此处通过列举红色和黄色的例子进行说明。后文应与其构成并列，列举其他颜色起到的作用。D选项指出可以通过绿色营造新鲜和清洁的感觉，与前文构成并列，符合语境。故选D。
5.C 根据后文“As long as you create a harmony of colours and a deeper expression in your artwork without making an unpleasant visual impact, then the sky is the border”可知，只要你的艺术作品中创造了一种和谐的色彩和更深层次的表达，而不会造成令人不快的视觉冲击，其实艺术作品是没有任何色彩限制的。C选项指出在艺术作品的背景中其实是没有颜色限制的，使用各种颜色都是可行的，引起后文，符合语境。故选C。
