?at least. more than one family has been shocked and disappointed by their own wallpaper choice, once they see it on the wall. think about what you want from your wallpaper.do you want the room to look larger? do you want it to seem cozier? its amazing what certain designs and colors can do for a room. dark colors in a small room can make it seem cold and uncomfortable. light colors in an already large room can make the room look too huge and empty.and certain colors can look beautiful on the roll, but once you put yard after yard of that same color up, the finished look can be terrible. and after the wallpaper is up, the only choices you have are to spend more money to change everything.samples of wallpaper are available and you can take them home to see if it matches the furniture, but its hard to tell by the tiny piece whether or not it will look good on the walls. since most wallpaper has a print, stripes or pattern, its easy to get confused. one rule of thumb when selecting wallpaper is to choose colors from your room that are also in the wallpaper. choose two or three colors from the sofa or other furniture, like brown and white, then look for wallpaper that has those colors only.colors and patterns arent the only thing to worry about when choosing wallpaper. if you have children or pets, youll want wallpaper that washes easily, but wont lose color. dont save too much money on wallpaper because the best quality gives the best result.6.many families feel when they see their wallpaper on the wall.a) happyb) disappointedc) excitedd) uncomfortablescript: many families feel when they see their wallpaper on the wall.正确答案： b学生答案： a得分： 0 分7.what color in a small room can make it seem cold and uncomfortable?a) dark colors.b) light colors.c) red.d) white.script: what color in a small room can make it seem cold and uncomfortable?正确答案： a学生答案： a得分： 2 分8.what can you take home to decide whether the wallpaper matches the color of your furniture?a) a users guide.b) a picturec) a phone number.d) samples of wallpaper.script:what can you take home to decide whether the wallpaper matches the color ofyour furniture?正确答案： d学生答案： d得分： 2 分9. is a useful method to choose the color of wallpaper.a) asking someone who has used the wallpaperb) always choosing the light colorsc) choosing colors from your room that are also in the wallpaperd) trying different colors of wallpaper in different roomsscript: is a useful method to choose the color of wallpaper.正确答案： c学生答案： c得分： 2 分10.you should choose if you have children or pets.a) the wallpaper with bright colorsb) the wallpaper that washes easilyc) the wallpaper with animal patternsd) the wallpaper that resists firescript: you should choose if you have children or pets.正确答案： b学生答案： b得分： 2 分passage twoquestions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.script: passage tworesearchers find out that older peoples quality of life is affected by outdoor activity and the living environments. these findings are based on a study of over 270 older people in a variety of areas in britain.in the study, researchers asked participants to identify outdoor activities they like to do and how easy the environment makes it to undertake these activities. the results show that the quality of neighborhood open spaces is associated with the time people spend walking outdoors.different aspects of neighborhood open spaces are associated with different types of walking, nomatter where the older people are living. participants who found their neighborhood environments good and helpful walked longer every day than those who didnt.in addition, several things have been found to make a difference in how often and how long the older people spent time outdoors. the first is the presence of facilities,such as seats, toilets, and shelters in their neighborhood open space. the study shows that the peoples total outdoor time increases if there are such facilities in the environments. the second is good pathsthat are easy to walk on and enjoyable. if there are good and safe paths in their neighborhood openspace, the older people will spend more time outdoors. the third is the presence of water features such as a fountain or a river, beach or lakeside. they lead to longer time spent in other outdoor activities, including gardening.since spending more time outdoors is good for older peoples health, researchers believe that we can improve older peoples life and health by improving their neighborhood environments.11.how many older people have the researchers studied?
