Question

【题目】阅读理解
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 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, 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.
Self-Catering (自助的)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.

（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】本文讲述的英国的Homestay所提供的一些服务以及具体的特点。
（1）D推理题。根据文章第一段Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.可知文章是向一些想在英国学习语言的学生推荐一种生活方式—homestay。故是写给申请在英国家庭里学习的学习英语的人的，D正确。
（2）A细节题。根据文章第二段第一行Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.可知打扫房间是对方提供的服务之一。故A正确。
（3）D推理判断题。根据第三段中Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. 寄宿家庭位于伦敦，主要在运输系统的2区，3区和4区。Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). 大多数主人都不住在镇中心，伦敦中心的大部分是商业区，而不是住宅区。可知伦敦商业中心在1区。故选D。
（4）B推理题。根据文章最后一段This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student.可知Self-Catering Accommodation是一种很独立的homestay的方式，自己照顾自己，能够给自己足够的自由。故B正确。
