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? 88., color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.

【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了室内设计中颜色的选择问题。
88.36题以逗号结尾,后面另起一个简单句,可以从句子结构排除D,E,F,G项。根据前文的三个问句可知,此处是从中选择一种。故选B(不管你寻找哪一种)。
89.前文:在过去的许多年里,有许多技术帮助设计者实现这一要点;下文:它们有点复杂。所以A(然而他们都很有用)承上启下。符合题意。
90.本空是一个主题句,总说选择小型颜色是我们很熟悉的方法。后文分说小型颜色选择具体用于哪些。故选D。
91.根据前文“中型颜色选择通常是指一些例如沙发,餐桌或者书架等家具的颜色选择”,接着表明这种范围的颜色选择是比小型颜色选择在两种方式上更高一级,故选G。
92.根据前文the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant(你所付诸的时间、精力和相关的费用是巨大的),后文F项(那肯定是值得的,因为你想第一次把它弄好)是上文的结果。故选F。
点睛:关键词法解决阅读填空题是一种有效的方法。做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感,最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词,寻找答案时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。
