2.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 Zones2,3and 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).Zones3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned 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(谷物類食品),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 desert,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 Accommodation in Private Homes
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 lifestule 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 practise English at home quite as much.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,主要向我們介紹了寄宿家庭為學(xué)習(xí)英語的學(xué)生提供在課堂外說英語的機(jī)會(huì)和成為英國(guó)家庭成員的體驗(yàn),文章中詳細(xì)說明了寄宿家庭的主人為我們提供的服務(wù),以及寄宿需要注意的事項(xiàng).

解答 36.D  主旨大意題.由第一段Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.可知寄宿家庭為學(xué)習(xí)英語的學(xué)生提供在課堂外說英語的機(jī)會(huì)和成為英國(guó)家庭成員的體驗(yàn).再結(jié)合文章的內(nèi)容可推知這篇文章不是為愿意接受英國(guó)學(xué)生的主人寫的,也不是為那些希望建設(shè)英國(guó)文化的外國(guó)人以及計(jì)劃參觀倫敦家庭的參觀者寫的.大概是為那些申請(qǐng)?jiān)谟?guó)人家中居住的英語學(xué)習(xí)者寫的.故選D.
37.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.可知主人能夠提供打掃房間,每周至少更換一次床單,該段并沒有告訴讀者主人將為入住者提供醫(yī)療護(hù)理、免費(fèi)交通和身體訓(xùn)練,故選A.
38.B  推理判斷題.由第三段Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3and of the transport system可知倫敦的商業(yè)中心在Zone,因此B正確;誤解分析:由第三段Zones3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area可知Zone 3和Zone 4不像Zone 2那么擁擠,由此排除A項(xiàng);Most hosts do not live in the town centre只說明人們不喜歡居住在市中心,并沒有說人們不去市中心,由此排除C項(xiàng);本段只是提到市中心擁擠,并沒有說到居住在市中心的家庭不為學(xué)生提供食宿,由此排除D項(xiàng).故選B.
39.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第四段中的Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,cereal,bread and tea or coffee可知?dú)W式早餐包括面包和果汁,故選C.
40.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由最后一段This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle可知SelfCatering Accommodation 能夠?yàn)樽∷拚咛峁└嗟淖杂桑蔬xD.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

D.Various functions of gift giving
E.Gift giving as a wasteful practice
F.Gift giving as a two-way social activity
Gift Giving

61.C
There are many occasions(場(chǎng)合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies:birthdays,naming ceremonies,weddings,anniversaries,New Year,It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures.In addition,special events,such as one's first day of school or graduation from university,often require gift fiving.
62.F
What is happening when we give gifts?Most important,we are exchanging gifts.If someone gives me a gift for my birthday,I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday.A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(義務(wù)).
63.D
Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones.People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者) know we are thinking of them,and that we want to make the person"feel special."We want people to feel wanted,to feel part of our social or family group.We give presents to say"I'm sorry."Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like.Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with.In all these cases,the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones.
64.B
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way.A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these,and they mean something to me,"the woman said,"because I remember the occasions they were given on,and that they were from my mother,and the relationship we've had."The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind.This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others.She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and remember her.
65.A
Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving.They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful.Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case.Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

14.This afternoon,I spoke with Governor Daniel Malloy and FBI Director Mueller.I offered Governor Malloy my condolences(哀悼) on behalf of the nation,and made it clear he will have every single resource that he needs to investigate this horrible crime,care for the victims and their families.
The majority of those who died today were children---beautiful little kids between the ages of 5and 10years old.They had their entire lives ahead of them---birthdays,graduations,weddings,kids of their own.Among the fallen were also teachers---men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
So our hearts are broken today---for the parents and grandparents,sisters and brothers of these little children,and for the families of the adults who were lost.Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well,for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight,they know that their children's innocence has been torn away from them too early,and there are no words that will ease their pain.
As a country,we have been through this too many times.Whether it's an elementary school in Newtown,or a shopping mall in Oregon,or a temple in Wisconsin,or a movie theater in Aurora,or a street corner in Chicago---these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods,and these children are our children.And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this,regardless of the politics.
This evening,Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do,which is hug our children a little tighter and we'll tell them that we love them,and we'll remind each other how deeply we love one another.But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight.And they need all of us right now.In the hard days to come,that community needs us to be at our best as Americans.And I will do everything in my power to help.
Because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or loved one,all of us can extend a hand to those in need---to remind them that we are there for them,that we are praying for them,that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.

31.Who is the speaker likely to be?D
A.A US police officer.
B.A victim parent.
C.The Connecticut governor.
D.The US president.
32.How many gun shootings has the speaker mentioned?D
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
33.What can we learn from this passage?A
A.The survivors may also suffer from the shooting tragedy.
B.Nothing has been done to prevent gun shooting in America.
C.The victims of this gun shooting are all kids aged from 5to 10.
D.Gun shooting is more likely to happen in American school campus.
34.The speaker wants the audienceC.
A.to investigate the crime
B.to protect themselves
C.to help those in need
D.to trust the US government.

11.Produced by Hunan Satellite TV,Where Are We Going,Dad?invites five male celebrities (名人)from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.
Since it first aired in January,2013,Where Are We Going,Dad?has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China's most popular show,averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online.Even the China Daily,the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success,"The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming."But what accounts for the show's popularity?
Part of the appeal is the chance to peek(窺探) into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children.Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner,combing hair,and disciplining children.At the same time,the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.
"Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture,"said Xie Dikui,general director of the show.In a society still influenced by the concept that"men rule outside and women inside.",many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children.Usually,they appear strict and distant.But on the show,we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing.This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society-what is the role of fathers in today's China?
A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles.The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles,which is great because it shows people there isn't just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children's choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society.Meanwhile,the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father.For those parents,they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.
26.The second paragraph is mainly aboutA
A.the show's success                 
B.the reason for the show's success
C.the China Daily's praise                  
D.deep affection between fathers and their kids
27.The chief function of"But what accounts for the show's popularity?"(in Paragraph 2)isB
A.to sum up the main idea of the paragraph         
B.to introduce a new topic
C.to arouse reader's interest                  
D.to express strong feelings
28.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?B
A.Traditionally,children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.
B.The role of fathers is changing in China.
C.Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.
D.More and more mothers go out to work.
29.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the show's success?D
A.People are curious about celebrities'life and their kids.
B.The show makes people reconsider father's role in today's China.
C.The show displays various parenting styles.
D.The audience think highly of the celebrities'parenting styles on the show.
30.What is the best title of the passage?B
A.The great success of Where Are We Going,Dad?
B.Why is Where Are We Going,Dad so popular?
C.What is the role of fathers in today's China?
D.Various parenting styles in China.
