手惰市安逸阳光实验学校第4练阅读理解＋七选五
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Joshua Blue，a head teacher at the Kennedy，hosts a lecture for his students，he wears a light violet－colored tie.“You don’t want so many bright colors that the kids will get distracted，” said Blue.Colors give off very specific signals，and different tie colors stand for very different impacts.Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting？Here’s how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion：All powerful reds
It’s not a coincidence (巧合) that many politicians wear red－colored ties with light shirts and darker suits.“Red is the powerful color，” said Mark Woodman，a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel，Maryland.“There’s something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.” But the tone of y our reds matters，too.Darker reds can help build trust，while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity.When you want to convey a sense of ambition，consider a shiny red.
Royal purples
Ross Znavor，an executive in financial services in New York，wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of self－confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions.Purple，traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth，is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.
Black affairs
“While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis，wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive，” said Zyla.But remember：the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations.“Avoid it if you are a green－hand at work，” Zyla said.
Right blues
Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color？Consider blue as the all－purpose tie.Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds peo ple of the sky and ocean.“Blue is the safest color to wear，” Lindsay said.
【语篇解读】每一种颜色都会传递不同的信息，产生不同的影响。

Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the Italian capital，seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations.There are a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past.These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating：you can’t quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life.I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑)．The best part of the visit was，without doubt，the Sistine Chapel ceiling，painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo.It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome，there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t of very good quality.I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region，like pasta with tomato，onion and bacon.I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range！It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a
Christmas market，where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。

Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley，offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet.However，due to their high price，they have failed to catch on until now.Recently，Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button.The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one，and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.
Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity.Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such
as Google，where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机)and bicycle desks.
The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market.As early as 2013，Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk.The $3，890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself，converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk.The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly，making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the users to change their positions.To move between sitting and standing positions，owners simply double tap on the screen.The desk can learn the user’s preferences and suggest the best seating position.
The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex－Apple and Disney engineers.It has a built－in touch screen to control and track movement，and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working days.It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones，to keep cables hidden.
“Ikea’s height－adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market，” said JP Labrosse，founder and CEO of Stir Kinect.【语篇解读】站立式办公桌对人们的健康有益，但是它的价格高昂。

A．Before Bekant desk，similar adjustable desks have been widely used.
B．The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.
C．Compared to the Stir Kinect desk，the Bekant desk is much cheaper.
D．The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and The Walt Disney Company.
