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 (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 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.
SelfCatering 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 practise English at home quite as much.

答案与解析
1.D 主旨大意题。由第一段第一句可知,Homestay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。
2.A 细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知A项的叙述符合题意。主人能够提供的东西主要在第二段进行论述,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。
3.B 推理判断题。由第三段倒数第二句可知Zone 3和Zone 4不像Zone 2那么拥挤,由此排除A项;第二句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。
4.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,A项、B项和D项的叙述是错误,只有C项中的Bread and fruit juice是里面的内容。
故选C项。
5.D 细节理解题。由最后一段第二句中的This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle可知Self??Catering Accommodation 能够为住宿者提供更多的自由,这与D项的叙述一致。A项、B项和C项的内容均没有在最后一段提及,故排除。
