    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

 

    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.

    John Robert was born in a farm family and his father was a horse trainer. When John was a child, he often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to pay for food, but John still loved this kind of life. He even hoped to own a horse farm when growing up.

When he was in school, his teacher once asked students to write about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. John wrote a seven-page paper talking about his dream of having a horse farm one day. He even drew a picture of a horse farm on the paper.

The next day John handed it to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.” And the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not come true for a young boy like you. Owning a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a simple dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it carefully. At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Many years later, John had his own 200 acres (英亩) horse farm. His dream came true.

    People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.

For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.

1.How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?

A.A week. B.A Month.

C.A term. D.A year.

2.What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?

A.Reading English books. B.Thinking in English.

C.Watching English films. D.Learning English grammar.

3.Where did the author improve his English quickly?

A.In America. B.In China.

C.In the university. D.In the middle school.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.My University Life B.American English

C.My English Learning Experience D.The Importance of Learning English

I’ve always been fond in collecting stamps since I was a child. As far as I'm concerned, collecting stamps is a meaningful hobby, help me to learn a lot of. Besides, dealing with my collection of stamps not only gives me great satisfactions but also helps relax yourself under the great pressure of studies. What's more, I even earned money by selling stamps and my collection will be more valuable as time goes by. Therefore, my parents are strongly against it. They consider it waste of money and they also think that sorting out my stamps may take up too much of my time, that should be spent on my studies. What can I talk them into supporting my hobby?

Past projects 7. (involve) reversible color-change technology have only been able to go from transparent to one color and back again. PhotoChromeleon is unique because it can change between 8.  (color).

"It's interesting, and it's a cool idea," says Warren Jasper, a professor of textile engineering of the MIT research. "But for it to become commercially workable, the researchers will need to deal with how to keep the colors from 9. (fade) in the sun. And if they want to scale up, they'll also need to find 10. more environmentally friendly way to get rid of the waste."

    For many, holiday celebrations mean large meals shared with family and friends, but such feasts can generate huge amounts of food waste, harming the environment and overusing natural resources—unless mindful merrymakers take steps to control the amount. 1.

Be mindful of what you already have

Try keeping food in glass jars. Using this method, you can make all the food in your kitchen visible, easily remembered and consumed. 2.. Nothing gets lost in the back of a shelf.

3.

Stick to a planned holiday menu before heading to the grocery store. A clear idea of who will be gathered and exactly how much food to prepare will save a lot of tossing out later. Be mindful not just of how much to purchase, but the items themselves.

Use leftovers wisely

It may be impossible to get everyone into the clean plate club. 4. Freeze and repurpose leftovers by using them as basic ingredients for other recipes or send extras home with guests.

Keep track of the scraps(残羹)

Along with turkey bones, use holiday scraps such as vegetables, meat and fish bones to make soup. For pet-safe dishes, allow your dog to clean plates before putting them in the dishwasher.

Consider composting(堆肥)

5. . These materials can be composted, which will keep them out of landfills, where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

A.Shop smart

B.Plan a menu

C.That doesn't mean leftover food has to go waste

D.Some of your family or guests may not like the food

E.Following are some tips on reducing food waste during holidays

F.Organize your dry food on one row and use refrigerator drawers

G.Food scraps and yard waste make up more than 28 percent of waste

 

    Over a million children have developed some form of intellectual (智力) disability over the past two decades after being exposed to chemicals including flame retardants, pesticides, lead, and mercury, a study has revealed.

The study focused on the four chemicals, which can be crossed from a mother to her unborn baby through the placenta(胎盘)and cause neurodevelopmental damage. The researchers looked at data from past studies, including blood samples taken from women of childbearing age and 5-year-olds.

Over the period, flame retardants, resulted in 738,860 cases of intellectual disability and an estimated 162 million lost IQ (智商)points, followed by lead at 330,684 cases, pesticides at 111,830, and mercury at 8,860. In recent years, pesticides and flame retardants have overtaken lead and mercury as the chemicals responsible for the biggest loss of IQ among children.

The researchers believe this is due to regulations cutting down the use of these chemicals. For instance, lead has been banned from gasoline, paint and drinking water systems in the U.S. and plants are not allowed to pump out mercury.

The researchers acknowledged limitations to their study, including that the exposure-response relationships might not relate to all populations. Positively, they found a huge drop in the estimated loss of IQ points among children.

Lead researcher Abigail Gaylord, commented: "Our findings suggest that our efforts to reduce exposure to heavy metals are paying off, but that harmful exposures in general continue to represent a terrible risk to people's physical, mental, and economic health. "Unfortunately, the minimal policies in place to remove pesticides and flame retardants are clearly not enough," she said.

She also added. Frequently opening windows to let persistent chemicals found in furniture  electronics, and carpeting escape, and eating certified organic produce can educe exposure to these harmful things"

1.Which contributes most to the loss of children's IQ?

A.Flame retardants. B.Pesticide.

C.Lead. D.Mercury.

2.Where does the passage probably come from?

A.A school report. B.A science fiction.

C.A scientific research. D.A chemistry book.

3.What is the drawback of the research mentioned?

A.It has received bad response from all populations.

B.It has no previous information to refer to.

C.It covers only part of the population.

D.It is not supported by government policies.

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

A.Four chemicals harming children.

B.Regulations cutting down the use of heavy metals.

C.Environment risking people's physical and mental health.

D.Children IQ lowered by exposure to harmful chemicals.
