If you want to win in sports，wear red If winning is everything，British anthropologists have some advice：Wear red．Their survey of four spots at the 2004 0lympic Games in Athens shows competitors were more likely to win their contests if they wore red unitbrms．
“Across a range of spots，we find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning，”report Russell A．Hill and Robert A．Barton of the Univmlsity of Durham in England．Their findings are in Thursday’s issue of the iournal Nature．
The anthropologists find that red coloration is associated with aggression in many animals．Often it is sexually selected so that scarlet markings signal male dominance．Just think of the red stripes on the scowling face of the male Mandrill，Africa，s largest monkey species．But red is not exclusively a male trait．Ivs the t'emale black widow spider that is venomous and displays a menacing red dot 013 her abdomen．
Similarly，the color’s effect also may Subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests，especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength；the researchers suggest．In their survey，the anthropologists analyzed the results of four combat sports at the summer games：boxing,tae kwon do，Greco—Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling．In those events，the athletes were randomly assigned red protective gear and other sportwear．Athletes wearing red gear won more ohen in l6 0f 21 rounds of Competition in all four events．The effect was the same regardless of wdght classes，too：19 0f 29 classes had more red winners，and only tour rounds had more blue winners．
The red effect also might come into play in team sports．The anthropologists made a preliminaD'analysis of the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament，in which teams wore jerseys of different colors in different matches．They found that five teams scored more goals when they wore shirts that were predominantly red，as opposed to bllie or white jerseys．
Scientists don't precisely know how wearing red might give athletes an advantage．But the color delivers implict messages of vigor and danger．When people get angry，their faces turn red．It’s also a reason why stop signs are red．
So are most Ferraris．

1．B．信息判断句说“所有参加2004年雅典奥运会四项体育比赛的运动员都身着红色的制服。”，利用信息判断句中的细节信息结构“2004 0lympic Games in Athens／2004年雅典奥运会”作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句“Their survey of four spots at the 2004 0lympic Games in Athens shows competitors were more likely to win their contests it they wore red uniforms．”，该句说“他们(英国人类学家对2004年雅典奥运会四项体育比赛进行的调查发现穿红色制服的运动员更可能赢得比赛。)”由该句内容可以推断出当时的四项比赛中一定有运动员穿红色制服，也有运动员穿其他颜色的制服，只有在这种可以进行对比的情况下，研究者们才可能得出“穿红色制服的运动员更可能赢得比赛”这个结论，因此信息判断句内容与文章内容不一致。
2．B．信息判断句说“红色是雄性动物特有的颜色，许多动物在进行攻击时使用这种颜色。”利用信息判断旬中的细节信息结构“male animals(雄性动物)，aggression(攻击)”作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句—一“the anthropologists find that red coloration iS associated with aggression in many animals(这些人类学家发现
许多动物在进行攻击时使用这种颜色)”和“But red is not exclusively a male trait．(但是红色不是雄性动物特有的雄性特征)”，由此可见该信息判断句中的主旬内容与文章中相关信息不一致。
3．A．信息判断句说“红色能有助于使对手在体育比赛中感到害怕。”利用信息判断句中的细节信息结构“opponents(对手)，athletic competition(体育比赛)”作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句“Similarly，the color，S eltect also may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests．”该答案相关句说“同样地，在体育比赛中红色也可能会潜意识地胁迫对手，使对手害怕”，由此可见该信。g．*tl断旬提供了正确信息。
4．A．信息断句说“通过分析那次夏季比赛中跆拳道的比赛结果，这些人类学家发现身着红色衣服的运动员更可能赢得比赛。”该句内容与文章主题一致，因此很可能提供了正确信息，而文章第4段中也有与信息判断句内容一致的相关信息出现。
5。A．信息判断句说“这些人类学者也发现在团队比赛中红色运动衫比蓝色或白色运动衫更能让运动员受益。”利用信息判断句中的细节信息结构“redjerseys(红色运动衫)，blue orwhite ones(蓝色或白色运动衫)”作为答案线索，在文章中找到答案相关句“TFhe red effect also might come into play in team sp(ms(红色也可能会在团体比赛中产生一定的影响)”和“They found that five teams scored more goals when they—wore shirts that were predominantly red，as opposed to blue or white jerseys．(他们发现有五个比赛队伍身穿红色的运动衫时所获得的比赛分数比身穿蓝色或白色的运动衫在比赛中获得的分数多)”，从这两个句子中可以概括出是“同蓝色及白色的运动衫项比，红色运动衫更可能有助于运动员在团体比赛中获胜”，因此信息判断句提供了正确的信息。
6．B．信息判断句说“科学家已经准确地知道了为什么身穿红色运动衫可能会给运动员带来比赛优势。”与该题选项的语句为“Scientists don’t precisely know how wearing red might give athletes an advantage．”该句说“科学家们不能准确地解释为什么红色运动衫会在比赛中给运动员带来比赛优势。”南此不难看出信息判断句的内容与该句内容不一致，因此信息判断旬提供的信息不正确。
7．C．信息判断句说“黄色与红色这两种颜色对运动员会产生相同的影响。”文章中并没有提及黄色，因此仅凭该文章内容无法了解黄色到底会对运动员产生么样的影响，因此无法借助文章内容对该信息判断句的内容进行判断，因此只能判断该信息判断句所涉及的内容在文章中没有被提及。
