Ⅱ.[2018·江西改编] 完形填空
There are purple clothes,purple handbags,purple bicycles,purple furni ture,even purple computers!So purple is one of the most 11 colours today.But in the past,purple was a very expensive and unusual colour.Let’s take a look at the rich 12 of the colour purple.
Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago 13 looked purple,not green.Plants today are green because they use green chlorophyll(叶绿素) to produce energy. 14 these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple colour.
During the time of Roman Empire(37BC—476AD),it was very 15 to make purple dye(染料).The dye came from sea snails(海螺).But 10,000 dead sea snails got you just one gram(克)of purple dye…as well as a very bad smell!This 16 purple dye was called T yrian purple, and it was the preferred colour of emperors.
In 16th-century England,purpl e was 17 for the king’s family members.Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ’s clo thes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to wear the colour.
In 1856,William Perkin,an 18-year-old 18 student,noticed something strange while doing an experiment(实验).The chemicals(化学药品) he used to clean his instruments 19 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple colour.This 20 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye.The dye was much cheaper than sea-snail dye.Thanks to Perkin,now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.
