四川省广安市2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达选练（5） 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Very often when I go to look at someone’s garden and they complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe. With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake.

Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc. An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details. A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden. Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. Designing a garden as simple as possible. B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making. C. An experienced garden designer’s
