Question

“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability，”said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won't be disappointed (失望的)．”

After this special meeting，I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month，I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London，a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.

As we were still young，we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London，we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them，too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast，a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight­seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben，the London Bridge，and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet，time really flew fast. Three weeks later，we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

【解析】

试题分析：在国外游学选择什么样的寄宿方式？选择去当地居民家里住是一个不错的选择。我一直想要这样的机会，终于上个月和一些同学一起去了伦敦。我们住在不同的家庭里，而我选择的家庭让我学到了很多。每天都有各种各样的活动和出游。然而三个星期很快就过去了，这成了我宝贵的回忆。

1.C细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability… ”可知该活动有助于提高访问者的语言能力。故选C。

2.B细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“… we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago. ”可知应选B。

3.B细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“… we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. ”可知“我们有一个为我们制订计划和照顾我们的领队”。故选B。

4.D细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知“一起去观光”是与当地的一位老师，而不是寄宿家庭，故排除B。根据第三段中的 “… my host family was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. ”可知，作者所在的寄宿家庭有一个女儿而不是两个，故排除C。根据“They were interested in me… ”可知他们对我很感兴趣而不是对我的活动感兴趣，故排除A。所以正确答案为D。

5.C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. （我享受假期的每一分钟。然而时间真的过得飞快。）”可推知C项是正确的。根据文章内容可知作者是在寄宿家庭中待了三周，而不是在自己家，故A项错误。根据文章倒数第二段内容可推知作者不仅上课，还有观光旅行等活动，故B项错误。根据第四段中的“After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. ”可知，早饭后，一位当地的老师会用他的车来接我们，故D项错误。所以选C。
