24、eems that we have long underestimated the power of colorswe tend to see them only as something to beautify our wardrobes(衣橱)or decorate our homes with. But colors are far more powerful than that. “Trends in color reflect the times. Looking back over history, color silently conveyed what was taking p
25、lace at that moment,” Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, told fashion website Who What Wear. “You cannot separate society and color.”With this in mind, it might be easier for you to see the point of this springs trending colors. For starters, Living Coral is definite
26、ly a thing. Having been named Pantones 2019 Color of the Year, this half-pink-half-orange color is a reminder of the global issue of climate change and dying corals. Also, this season sees two more natural shades becoming popularPepper Stem Green and Clearwater Blue. Both shades, like Living Coral,
27、have environmental connotations(含义). As fashion reporter Maya Adivi wrote on Glowsly, Pepper Stem Green “indicates health, and reminds us of renewal”, and Clearwater Blue gives out “a sense of cheerful calm”.However, “natural” is not the only color trend this spring, because simply being “reminded”
28、of the issue is far from enough the courage and resolution we need to make real changes.

29、ebsite Elle Decor.For example, there was Neon Green.

34、法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history, so it begins a new bill introduced in Hawaiis State House, calling for a ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became th
35、e first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024.That would effectively clear Hawaiis store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring
36、them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes near the end of their life if they could find them.Richard Creagan, the bills sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent
37、 an “end game” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We dont have any states around us. And thats why I
38、thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald hes confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age
39、 to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.”12.What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A.Hawaii has
40、no cigarette laws at present.B.The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.C.The age to buy cigarettes was raised to 21 in 2016.D.All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.13.What does the new bill call for?A.Even tourists cant bring cigarettes to Hawaii.B.No one under 100 can buy cigarette
41、s by 2024.C.Hawaiians cant buy cigarettes in other states.D.Growing tobacco is not allowed in Hawaii.14.The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “”.A.buys their first pack of cigarettesB.smokes their first cigaretteC.quits smoking for the first timeD.first offers cigarettes to others15.What i
42、s the main idea of the text?A.Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.B.Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.C.Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.D.Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.答案语篇解读本文为说明文。文章围绕夏威夷正在考虑一项禁止香烟销售的法案展开,相关人士就此表达了自己的看法。12.C细节理解题。根据第
43、二段第二句In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21.可知,夏威夷在2016年成为第一个将购买香烟的年龄提高到21岁的州。故选C项。13.B细节理解题。根据第二段中Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024.可知,新法案要求到2020年将购买香烟的年龄
44、提高到30岁,在接下来的每一年分别提高到40岁、50岁和60岁,到2024年提高到100岁。由此推断,到2024年时,100岁以下的人不能买香烟。故选B。14.B词义猜测题。根据下文The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one”.(报告还指出“如果一个人在25岁之前不经常吸烟,那么他或她成为烟民的可能性就非常小”。)可推断,把购买烟草的年龄提高到21岁是为了推迟人们“第一次抽烟”的时间,使得他们在25岁之前不能经常吸烟,从而使人们不成为烟民。故画线单词应为“抽第一根烟;第一次抽烟”,故选B项。15.A主旨大意题。根据第一段提出的话题以及文章主要围绕这一话题进行展开,说明了相关人士对于夏威夷禁止香烟销售的法案的看法和意见可知,文章的中心思想是夏威夷正在考虑一项禁止香烟销售的法案。故选A项。
