Our day started like any other day. My husband left for work in the north of the town, which is an hour and a half’s drive. The younger children caught their bus to school ten minutes away. Our oldest attends high school and it is a 40-minute drive away. I work at home, working on the computer.‎ It was November 2006 and the news had reported gusty winds. When the winds started to get strong I shut the computer down and tried to phone my husband. I left a message telling him the winds were blowing at 80 to 90 km/hr. As I hung up the phone, I heard a tree crack. I went outside and stood in the driveway. Another tree exploded and my heart was racing.‎ When the school bus carrying the youngsters arrived, I ran to get them. No sooner ‎ - 9 -‎ had we made it to the house than another tree exploded. The children were clearly scared, so I loaded them into the car and we parked in the middle of the yard, where no trees could land on us, it was starting to get dark.‎ My oldest son didn’t come home and my husband was stranded at work. I called the high school and reached my son. He said he was stranded and didn’t know what to do. I called a friend in town for help. He managed to get my son home to me. Finally, my husband managed to get home. ‎ We had been prepared for such events, as we had a generator, candles, a wood stove, fresh water, batteries and two freezers full of food. We were without power for five days. But we didn’t panic—we had all the emergency equipment we needed. Thankfully, none of our neighbours were injured, but the damage was extensive.

But colors are far more powerful than that. “Trends in color reflect the times. Looking back over history, color silently conveyed what was taking place at that moment,” Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, told fashion website Who What Wear. “You cannot separate society and color.”‎ With this in mind, it might be easier for you to see the point of this spring’s ‎ - 9 -‎ trending colors. For starters, Living Coral is definitely a thing. Having been named Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year, this half-pink-half-orange color is a reminder of the global issue of climate change and dying corals. Also, this season sees two more natural shades becoming popular—Pepper Stem Green and Clearwater Blue. Both shades, like Living Coral, have environmental connotations(含义). As fashion reporter Maya Adivi wrote on Glowsly, Pepper Stem Green “indicates health, and reminds us of renewal”, and Clearwater Blue gives out “a sense of cheerful calm”.‎ However, “natural” is not the only color trend this spring, because simply being “reminded” of the issue is far from enough the courage and resolution we need to make real changes. This is why fashion weeks from all over the world saw bolder(更大胆的)and bolder colors worn on the catwalk, giving out the “I can do this; let’s make a change” attitude, wrote fashion reporter Lucia Tonelli on the website Elle Decor.‎ For example, there was Neon Green. Despite being another green, Neon Green is quite different from Pepper Stem.“Neon Green is definitely the loudest of the spring 2019 runway colors,” wrote Adivi. “It shouts and screams, demanding to be heard.”‎ ‎8.What does Laurie Pressman think of colors?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.They can mirror the times.‎ B.They keep us warm.‎ C.They make us comfortable.‎ D.They just make us attractive.‎ ‎9.What message does Living Coral convey?‎ A.Beauty of nature. B.Enthusiasm for life.‎ C.Environmental protection. D.A fashionable lifestyle.‎ ‎10.Which of the following colors can call on us to make changes　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Living Coral. B.Pepper Stem Green.‎ C.Clearwater Blue. D.Neon Green.‎ ‎11.What is the best title for the text?‎ A.Colors Count in Fashion B.Fashions Come and Go - 9 -‎ C.Trending Colors Tell More D.Trending Colors Die Easily 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　我们眼中会看到五彩缤纷的各种颜色,某个时代会有那个时代流行的颜色。这些流行颜色是那个时代的一面镜子,会告诉我们那个时代发生的事情。‎ ‎8.A　推理判断题。根据第一段引号中引用的Laurie Pressman的原话Trends in color reflect the times.可知,他认为颜色的流行趋势会反映出当时那个时代发生的事情,也就是说颜色可以反映时代,所以答案为A项。‎ ‎9.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中对“活珊瑚色”的描述:this half-pink-half-orange color is a reminder of the global issue of climate change and dying corals可知,这种半粉红色和半橘黄色的颜色是在提醒人们气候变化和珊瑚正在死亡这个全球问题,向人们传达了注重环保这个理念,所以答案为C项。‎ ‎10.D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话中的giving out the “I can do this, let’s make a change” attitude和文章最后一段第一句For example, there was Neon Green.可以推断出氖绿色是一种大胆的、会让人们去改变自己的颜色,所以答案为D项。‎ ‎11.C　主旨大意题。本文第一段中描述:颜色是一个时代的一面镜子,流行颜色可以反映那个时代发生的重大事情。它们不仅仅是表面上的某个颜色,还会告诉我们更多的东西。后面几段用具体的颜色为例论证了这一主题,所以答案为C项。‎ D ‎(2019云南一检,C)‎ The legislature(立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history, so it begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.‎ Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024.That would effectively clear Hawaii’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.‎ - 9 -‎ And curiously, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes near the end of their life — if they could find them.‎ Richard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “end game” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.‎ ‎“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”‎ Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.‎ In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.” ‎ ‎12.What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?‎ A.Hawaii has no cigarette laws at present.‎ B.The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.‎ C.The age to buy cigarettes was raised to 21 in 2016.‎ D.All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.‎ ‎13.What does the new bill call for?‎ A.Even tourists can’t bring cigarettes to Hawaii.‎ B.No one under 100 can buy cigarettes by 2024.‎ C.Hawaiians can’t buy cigarettes in other states.‎ D.Growing tobacco is not allowed in Hawaii.‎ ‎14.The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “　　　”. ‎ A.buys their first pack of cigarettes B.smokes their first cigarette C.quits smoking for the first time - 9 -‎ D.first offers cigarettes to others ‎15.What is the main idea of the text?‎ A.Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.‎ B.Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.‎ C.Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.‎ D.Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.‎ 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文为说明文。文章围绕夏威夷正在考虑一项禁止香烟销售的法案展开,相关人士就此表达了自己的看法。‎ ‎12.C　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21.可知,夏威夷在2016年成为第一个将购买香烟的年龄提高到21岁的州。故选C项。‎ ‎13.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024.可知,新法案要求到2020年将购买香烟的年龄提高到30岁,在接下来的每一年分别提高到40岁、50岁和60岁,到2024年提高到100岁。由此推断,到2024年时,100岁以下的人不能买香烟。故选B。‎ ‎14.B　词义猜测题。根据下文The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one”.(报告还指出“如果一个人在25岁之前不经常吸烟,那么他或她成为烟民的可能性就非常小”。)可推断,把购买烟草的年龄提高到21岁是为了推迟人们“第一次抽烟”的时间,使得他们在25岁之前不能经常吸烟,从而使人们不成为烟民。故画线单词应为“抽第一根烟;第一次抽烟”,故选B项。‎ ‎15.A　主旨大意题。根据第一段提出的话题以及文章主要围绕这一话题进行展开,说明了相关人士对于夏威夷禁止香烟销售的法案的看法和意见可知,文章的中心思想是夏威夷正在考虑一项禁止香烟销售的法案。故选A项。‎ - 9 -‎
