    In those days, the old woman ________ sit at the gate for hours, ________ for her son to return from the front．

    [　　]

    A．will; waited

    B．should; waiting

    C．would; waiting

    D．were going to; waited

    答案：C
    解析：

    由前面时间状语排除了A项。should“应该”，在此不合题意，would用来表示过去的习惯，意为“过去往往……”。were going to表示未完成的计划，意为“本来打算……”。根据句意C项为最佳答案，waiting作伴随状语。

    In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

    The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.    

    It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City.

    Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

    People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

    1.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.

    A．want to be as rich as their neighbours

    B．want others to know or to think that they are rich

    C．don’t want others to know they are rich

    D．want to be happy

    2.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.

    A．live outside New York City

    B．live in New York City

    C．live in apartments

    D．live with many neighbours

    3.What’s the author’s attitude to keeping up with the Joneses?

    A．Negative.

    B．Positive.

    C．Supportive.

    D．Objective.

    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 Zones2,3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential（居住的）.Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowed 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 (谷物类食品), 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 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.

    1.What can be inferred from Paragraph3?

    A．Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.

    B．Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.

    C．The business centre of London is in Zone1.

    D．Accommodation in the city center is not provided.

    2.According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?

    A．Dessert and coffee.

    B．Bread and fruit juice.

    C．Fruit and vegetables.

    D．Centre and cold meat.

    3.Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?

    A．To experience a warmer family atmosphere.

    B．To enrich their knowledge of English.

    C．To enjoy much more freedom.

    D．To entertain friends as they like.
