Question 12
A、She is a real expert at house decorations.
B、She is well informed about the design business.
C、She is attracted by the color of the sitting room.
D、She is really impressed by the man’s house.
W:Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!
M: Really? You think so?
W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t, did you?
M:No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He’s actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.
W:［12］I, honestly, I’m impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.
M:［13］Well, for a while now, I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I’d saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not, I had a full notebook of magazine pages. Since my overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg’s help, it was very achievable.
W: Was it very expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.
M:［14］ Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.
W: Great! If you don’t mind. I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Jonathan and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway.［15］And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?
Question 12 What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 对话中女士看到西蒙新装修的房子之后,表示非常喜欢他家的装修风格,并询问西蒙的装修灵感来自哪里,同时表明自己不知道该从哪里开始,这说明女士对装修和设计并不精通,故排除A和B.D项符合女士的态度,故为正确答案。C项在原文中并来提及,故排除。
