much of a historyit tells of freedom, success,and of the architecture of big american cities. because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!welcome to a new era of kitchen interior designback then, a generation of successful american entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of architecture to express their personal wealth. this dream was realized by young architects such as daniel burnham and stanford white. they all had studied at the cole des beaux-arts in paris. and they created a new style for architecture and interior design, namedafter the famous french art institute: beaux-arts.siematic beauxarts breaks and createsin fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures. many world-famous structures such as the chicago art institute and the statue of liberty account for it. but what does that have to do with your kitchen? just as much as you want it to. because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. for that, siematic beauxarts offers unique opportunities: a broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. you can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colors, and precious materials, to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality.1.why did the beauxarts

voices. they can even distinguish their mothers voice from that of a female stranger. but when it comes to embryonic learning(胎教), birds could rule the roost. as recently reported in the auk:ornithological advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化). new-born chicks can then imitate their moms call within a few days of entering the world.this educational method was first observed in 2012 by sonia kleindorfer, a biologist at flinders university in south australia, and her colleagues. female australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. when the eggs were hatched,the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothersa sound that served as their regular“feed me!”call.to find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of australian songbird. first they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in queensland before and after hatching. then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. a computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.it turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. and the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies begging calls. in addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their moms voice were rewarded with the most food.this observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的)strengths of children to parents. an evolutionary inference can then be drawn.“as a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?”kleindorfer asks.“our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”3.the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 means“”.a.be the worstb.be the bestc.be just as badd.be just as good4.what are kleindorfers findings based on?a.similarities between the calls of moms and chicks.b.the observation of fairy wrens across australia.c.the data collected from queenslands locals.d.controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.5.embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which.a.can receive quality signalsb.are in need of trainingc.fit the environment betterd.make the loudest call参考答案 完形填空【考点】考察夹叙夹议类完型【文章大意】作者的丈夫在几个月前去世了，作者很痛苦。家里坏掉的谁龙头更让作者很难过。ahmed帮助作者修理好了水龙头，他无私的帮助让我想起世界上还有很多善良的人。1.a
