阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Very often when I go to look at someone’s garden and the y complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe.
With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc.
An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details.
A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden.
Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Designing a garden as simple as possible.
B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making.
C. An experienced garden designer’s importance.
D. Choosing plants for the garden.
2. Why does the author use baking a cake in the passage?
A. To show the basic steps of baking a cake.
B. To imply how simple to design a garden.
C. To state baking a cake is very complex.
D. To introduce how to design a garden.
3. The underlined word “impose” in the third paragraph means.
A. force
B. turn
C. improve
D. imagine
4. By keeping the garden design simple, .
A. you can get details from the garden designer
B. you will be successful one day
C. you can meet your standards in life
D. you can match the structure of a house with that of a garden
5. What is the most important for garden design?
A. Creating a constructable image for the garden.
B. Choosing the right plants for your garden first.
C. Inviting an experienced garden designer.
D. Not rushing to choose plants for your garden.

【参考答案及解析】
1. 将always 前的you 改为yourself 考查反身代词的用法。

此处需掌握短语make oneself happy使自己高兴。

此处it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。

根据文意应用一般现在时。

4. really 前加 be 考查谓语动词。

此处形容词happy前缺谓语动词be。

5. 删除 will 考查动词时态。

在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

6. give—giving 考查动名词。

此处and前后为并列关系，故改为动名词。

7. even 后加 if / though; 或者 even—though / although 考查状语从句的连接词。

根据文意应改为even if或even though。

8. follow—follows 考查主谓一致。

此句的主语是each故用单数形式。
