Question

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that,since it's only used for cooking,there's no need to pay much attention to its color. 1       Color influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere,and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cooking.

To decorate a kitchen,first look for a theme which will influence the color scheme (方案) .The most common colors in kitchens are white,yellow and other light colors. Kitchens are usually painted in one color to create a clean and neat look. 2       Also,since kitchens tend to have smaller windows,the light colors help make it brighter. Neutral colors such as gray and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

3       Start with your favorite color,or two light colors that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners,three colors next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen,because one wrong color can ruin the whole look of the kitchen. When the kitchen color scheme has been chosen,other elements must be considered. Some important things,such as cupboards,in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (免砖) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 4       Last but not least,no matter what color scheme you use,make sure that it really is the one you want.5

Answer 1

厨房是房子的重要组成部分，而有些人认为，因为它只是用于烹饪，不需要太关注它的颜色。而在作者看来，厨房的配色很重要，因为颜色影响人们的情绪。

1. G选项承上启下。上文说，人们可能不太在意厨房的颜色，下文接着说：颜色影响人们的情绪并能营造一种氛围，是在说明颜色的重要性，故中间缺的是起转折作用的过渡句，选G"厨房颜色和其他的房间颜色一样重要"。

2. D考查顺承关系。下文谈到的是浅色对厨房的好处。

D项"浅色使厨房更大，更亮"符合文意。

3. E考查总分关系。选项E"有不同的方法来创建一个配色方案"是本段的topic sentence ,下文具体地谈到厨房颜色的选择最好是2至3种颜色搭配。

4. F选项F是对本段的总结和归纳：厨房装饰必须与配色方案协调。

5. C考查转折关系。本段是对全文的归纳，选什么样的颜色关键是要符合自己所好，否则，要征求家人意见。
