    Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 1., color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.

Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 2., they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.

3.. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.

Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 4.. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.

The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 5..

A. While all of them are useful

B. Whatever you’re looking for

C. If you’re experimenting with a color

D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with

E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces

F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time

G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways

 

1.B 2.A 3.D 4.G 5.F 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了室内设计中颜色的选择问题。 1.36题以逗号结尾,后面另起一个简单句,可以从句子结构排除D,E,F,G项。根据前文的三个问句可知,此处是从中选择一种。故选B(不管你寻找哪一种)。 2.前文:在过去的许多年里,有许多技术帮助设计者实现这一要点;下文:它们有点复杂。所以A(然而他们都很有用)承上启下。符合题意。 3.本空是一个主题句,总说选择小型颜色是我们很熟悉的方法。后文分说小型颜色选择具体用于哪些。故选D。 4.根据前文“中型颜色选择通常是指一些例如沙发,餐桌或者书架等家具的颜色选择”,接着表明这种范围的颜色选择是比小型颜色选择在两种方式上更高一级,故选G。 5.根据前文the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant(你所付诸的时间、精力和相关的费用是巨大的),后文F项(那肯定是值得的,因为你想第一次把它弄好)是上文的结果。故选F。

    Money might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.

He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side.

After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.

A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.

After harvesting, each piece is planned (刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.

The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted (嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”

Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability (可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.

1.The first paragraph mainly serves as ___.

A.comment B.praise

C.introduction D.background

2.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture_____.

A.while serving as a gardener B.while relaxing at home

C.while studying in California D.when he grow up

3.What plays a key role in growing furniture?

A.Rich imagination. B.Perfect design.

C.Large irrigation. D.Hard work.

4.The passage is probably taken from ____.

A.an essay B.a report

C.a novel D.a diary

    On January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

1.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because ____.

A.children may be infected by virus

B.they don’t like the idea of online learning

C.children’s study may be affected

D.parents have no time to look after children

2.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?

A.To keep playing online games.

B.To keep touching different people.

C.To do some physical exercise outside.

D.To teach children about health knowledge.

3.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means ___.

A.plan B.stop

C.growth D.change

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.A Special Way to Learn at Home B.A New War with a New Change

C.A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D.A Method to Make Parents Unworried

    It’s 1944, in occupied Paris. Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters — a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.

In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina’s government protested the family’s detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren’t safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.

To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky’s father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. When the agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he’d learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky’s cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France’s Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.

Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. “I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths — I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color.”

1.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?

A.To provide an apartment building for painters.

B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.

C.To make fake identities for all families.

D.To train students to operate laboratories.

2.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?

A.He was sent to a concentration camp. B.He moved to live in Argentina.

C.He was swiftly sent on to die. D.He protested his family’s detention

3.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky?

A.Enthusiastic and gentle. B.Expressive and humble.

C.Disciplined and modest. D.Courageous and helpful.

4.What does the story intend to tell us?

A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.

B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.

C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.

D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.
