should be focusing on the color of your napkins too.a new report examining the relationship between colored napkins and the flavor of food found that color is a powerful contributor. the report reveals which colors pair best with which dishes to help give your dinners an extra bit of flavor. napkin brand tork partnered with swedish food stylist and chef,linda lundgren,who paired dishes with a range of colored napkins.she told trade magazine the caterer : “how do you make a strawberry mousse sweeter and richer-tasting? the answer isnt more strawberries and sugar. instead,try serving the dish with a coral pink napkin. the color actually increases the perception of sweetness and decreases bitterness, making it perfect for desserts. ”“the experiments found that aqua blue napkins enhance the flavor of eggs and indian food. this is because it brings out orange and yellow as contrast colors and makes the dishes seem less salty, ms lundgren said.coral pink helps to decrease the bitterness of dishes like grapefruit and makes meals taste sweeter,while pink or rose red works best with desserts.mustard yellow helps to improve the flavor of green dish such as sprouts and salads,as well as tart flavors including fish and sea food. anthracite grey helps to contrast the tones of lighter colored table settings and meals , meaning grey napkins give mediterranean food a richer taste.28. what colour napkins would you choose if your guest comes from india?a. yellow.b. pink.c. blue.d. grey.29. which one is the colored napkins function?a. to make you hungry.b. to make you relaxed.c. to decrease sweetness.d. to enhance the flavor of food.30. where can you probably find this text?a. in an official report.b. in a science magazine.c. in an international newspaper.d. in a travel guidebook.31. the passage mainly tells us the relationship between .a. colored napkins and foodb. environment and foodc. lighting and foodd. music and food【答案】28. c 29. d 30. b 31. a【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的餐巾颜色与食物搭配时的效果也不同。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“the experiments found that aqua blue napkins enhance the flavor of eggs and indian food.（实验发现，水蓝色的餐巾能增强鸡蛋和印度食物的味道。）” 可知, 如果你的客人来自印度，你应该选择蓝色的餐巾。故c项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“enhance the flavor of eggs and indian food（增强鸡蛋和印度食物的味道）”以及第三段中“increases the perception of sweetness and decreases bitterness（增加对甜味的感知，减少苦味）”可知彩色餐巾纸的功能是增强事物的味道，故选d项。【30题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，主要讲了食物和餐巾颜色之间的关系，属于一篇科普文章应该在科学杂志上看到，所以选b项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了各种颜色的餐巾和食物口感之间的关系，所以选a项。【点睛】细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的依据一定在原文中能够找到，且正确答案通常是对原文的改写。故第二小题，d选项中的enhance与原文中increase为同义词。对原文句子中的关键词进行替换，把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词是常见的设置答案的方式。dfuturologists

through the clouds,their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. in this way, people can choose any view as they like.at height extremes, a london spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. there is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible, so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km and ev
