[解析]
(1)词句猜测题。根据第一段的Those who endorse statements like "I am particular about what I eat" have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. (那些endorse"我对自己吃的东西很挑剔"的人有"新食物恐惧症"——拒绝新奇食物。)可知,"Those…have food neophobia"这里指那些人有"新食物恐惧症"说明他们支持"I am particular about what I eat"这一观点,划线词意为"赞成、同意"。A.Comment on对......做出评论;B.Approve of同意,赞成;C.Worry about担心;D.Argue against反对。故选B。
(2)推理判断题。根据第二段的While we were publishing our finding,scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color.Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. (当我们发表我们的发现时,科学家们正在就大脑如何对食物和颜色做出反应的新发现进行辩论。不同的研究小组已经确定了视觉系统中优先对食物图像做出反应的脑区。)可知,在作者团队发表其发现的同时,科学界关于大脑对食物和颜色反应的新发现以及存在的争议,为后文作者团队进行灰度图像实验以及提出色盲者与食物新恐惧症关系的预测提供了背景信息。因此,本段的写作目的是解释后续测试的背景。故选C。
(3)细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color,certain signals that raise flags about freshness,safety,or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited.(因为色盲者体验食物的颜色范围有限,某些关于新鲜度、安全性或引起对新奇食物焦虑的信号可能会受到限制。)和倒数第二段中的The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non﹣colorblind.(调查显示,色盲者确实比非色盲者更不害怕食物。)可知,色盲者由于颜色感知能力的限制,无法像正常人一样感知到某些可能引起对食物新鲜度、安全性等担忧的信号,因此他们对新奇食物的恐惧感较低,没有察觉到一些引起紧张的食物迹象。故选D。
(4)推理判断题。根据第三段的We repeated our initial study with gray﹣scale images of food.The result showed without color,people unsurprisingly made more errors,mistaking different dishes as the same,but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged.Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food.We also found one effect of removing color:Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability.(我们使用食物的灰度图像重复了最初的研究。结果显示,在没有颜色的情况下,人们不出所料地犯了更多错误,将不同的菜肴误认为是相同的,但人与人之间差异的模式没有其他变化。我们还发现了去除颜色的一个效果:食物新恐惧症不再与食物识别能力相关。)以及倒数第三段的We then made an entirely new prediction:Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? (然后我们做出了一个全新的预测:色盲者是否比正常色觉者更少食物新恐惧症?)和倒数第二段的We invited participants online,based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire.(我们根据参与者在一份长筛查问卷中关于色盲问题的回答邀请他们在线参与。)可知,结合参与者在线回答参与,作者通过对比有颜色和无颜色(灰度图像)情况下人们对食物识别能力的差异,以及进一步预测并验证色盲者与食物新恐惧症的关系,来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响,也就是作者主要分析了受访者的反馈(即在不同条件下的表现)来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响。故选B。
