18.Home on the WayPeople need homes:children assume their parents'place as home; boarders call school"home"on weekdays; married couples work together (33)to build (build) new homes; and travelers …have no place to call"home",at least for a few nights.
So how (34)about people who have to travel for extended periods of time?Don't they have the right to have a home?Of course they do.
Some regular travelers take their own belongings:like bed sheets,toothbrushes and family photos to make them feel like home (35)no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others (36)may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.Furthermore,driving a camping car during one's travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like (37)what is generally thought of as"home"--only mobile!
And how about maintaining relationships while in transit?Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards,or even photos; (38)others may just call and say hi,just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well.People find ways to keep in touch.(39)Making (make) friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home.Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends,even closer than siblings.
Nowadays,fewer people are working in their local towns,so how do they develop a sense of belonging?Whenever we step out of our local boundaries,there is always another"home"waiting to be found.Wherever we are,with just a little bit of effort and imagination,we can make (40)the place where we stay"home".
分析 本段文字讲述了"旅人的家",小孩子把父母的住所当作自己的家,住校生把学校当作家,新婚夫妇共同营造自己的家,至于旅行者…至少有几晚要住在不能称为"家"的地方.人们在旅行过程中,通过网络相互联系,在旅程中交到朋友能帮旅行者找到"家"的感觉.大多数人都离乡在外,一旦我们走出家门,就总有另一个"家"在等着我们去寻找.不论身处何方,只要稍加努力和想象,就能把栖身之地营造成一个家.
解答 33.to build;考查不定式,这里用不定式表示目的,意为"新婚夫妇共同努力来建设新家园".
34.about;考查介词,结合上下文,这句意思应为"那些不得不长期在外旅行的人怎么样呢?"所以这里用how about询问情况,表示"…怎么样".
35.no matter where;考查让步状语从句,结合上下文,这句理解为"无论走到哪里,他们都能找到家的感觉",所以空过处用"no matter where".
36.may;考查情态动词,根据上下文,空过处用情态动词may表示一种可能性.
37.what;考查关系代词,what在这里引导宾语从句,what在从句中作从句的主语.
38.others;考查代词,文中前面出现了some,所以这里用others,构成句型"some…,others…".
39.Making;考查非谓语动词,在这个句子中,动名词短语making friends on the way 作句子的主语.
40.the;考查定冠词,因为后面有定语从句where we stay"home"修饰先行词place,所以前面用定冠词表示特指.
