【題目】Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

Continental Breakfast

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering (自助的)Accommodation in PrivateHomes

Accommodation on a room only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.

【解析】

試題分析: 本文講述的英國(guó)的Homestay所提供的一些服務(wù)以及具體的特點(diǎn)。

【1】D推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.可知文章是向一些想在英國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言的學(xué)生推薦一種生活方式—homestay。故是寫(xiě)給申請(qǐng)?jiān)谟?guó)家庭里學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的人的,D正確。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一行Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.可知打掃房間是對(duì)方提供的服務(wù)之一。故A正確。

【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. 寄宿家庭位于倫敦,主要在運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)的2區(qū),3區(qū)和4區(qū)。Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). 大多數(shù)主人都不住在鎮(zhèn)中心,倫敦中心的大部分是商業(yè)區(qū),而不是住宅區(qū)?芍獋惗厣虡I(yè)中心在1區(qū)。故選D。

【4】B推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student.可知Self-Catering Accommodation是一種很獨(dú)立的homestay的方式,自己照顧自己,能夠給自己足夠的自由。故B正確。

【名師點(diǎn)撥】

推理判斷題。推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話,也可能是某幾句話,所以,推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即對(duì)原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫(xiě)或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等標(biāo)志性詞語(yǔ)。 這種題型主要包括細(xì)節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)推斷題、寫(xiě)作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測(cè)想象推斷題。23小題D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. 寄宿家庭位于倫敦,主要在運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)的2區(qū),3區(qū)和4區(qū)。Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). 大多數(shù)主人都不住在鎮(zhèn)中心,倫敦中心的大部分是商業(yè)區(qū),而不是住宅區(qū)?芍獋惗厣虡I(yè)中心在1區(qū)。故選D。

I’d like to share with you my progresses on study in these three years. To be honest, I was not so good at my study when I came to high school, often feel tired out and at loss. Sometimes, I am even on the point of giving up. Therefore, my change happened when my teachers and my classmates as well as came to encourage me one day in Senior Two. It was their encouragement and my own thinking that resulted in my mchievements in study final.

Still not a top student although I am now, I have found myself filled with greatly confidence to face any difficulty and challenge. There is no doubt that I am bound to fight with my dream to the end in the coming months

Having bad feeling about world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.” 【1】

1 ) 2

It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, and better cars. 3 This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.

2)Brilliant advances

One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. 4 Today it's half second.

3 )Let's not kill ourselves for climate change

5 A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血帶) around our necks.

A. Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence.

B. Overreaction to climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.

C. Shopping fuels invention.

D. And, of course, we earn more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.

E. In 1950 it was eight seconds.

F. It’s high time that we took immediate action to fight climate change.

G. Here's how he explains his views.
