Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,主要向我们介绍了寄宿家庭为学习英语的学生提供在课堂外说英语的机会和成为英国家庭成员的体验,文章中详细说明了寄宿家庭的主人为我们提供的服务,以及寄宿需要注意的事项.
解答 36.D 主旨大意题.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.可知寄宿家庭为学习英语的学生提供在课堂外说英语的机会和成为英国家庭成员的体验.再结合文章的内容可推知这篇文章不是为愿意接受英国学生的主人写的,也不是为那些希望建设英国文化的外国人以及计划参观伦敦家庭的参观者写的.大概是为那些申请在英国人家中居住的英语学习者写的.故选D.
37.A 细节理解题.由第二段Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.可知主人能够提供打扫房间,每周至少更换一次床单,该段并没有告诉读者主人将为入住者提供医疗护理、免费交通和身体训练,故选A.
38.B 推理判断题.由第三段Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3and of the transport system可知伦敦的商业中心在Zone,因此B正确;误解分析: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那么拥挤,由此排除A项;Most hosts do not live in the town centre只说明人们不喜欢居住在市中心,并没有说人们不去市中心,由此排除C项;本段只是提到市中心拥挤,并没有说到居住在市中心的家庭不为学生提供食宿,由此排除D项.故选B.
39.C 细节理解题.由第四段中的Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,cereal,bread and tea or coffee可知欧式早餐包括面包和果汁,故选C.
40.D 细节理解题.由最后一段This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle可知SelfCatering Accommodation 能够为住宿者提供更多的自由,故选D.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
