题目内容

People need homes:Children assume their parents' place as home; boarders call school "home" on weekdays;married couples work together to build new homes;and travelers... have no place to call "home",at least for a few nights. 1       Don't they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets,pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with the service and attendants;2       Furthermore,driving a camping car during one's travel and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home.

And how about keeping relationships while in transit3      ;some send letters and postcards,or even photos;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. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4       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.5      ,we can make the place we stay "home".

   A. Hostels provide a clean and safe place to stay while you are traveling the world.

   B. others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely

   C. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends,even closer than siblings (兄弟姐妹) .

   D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time?

   E. No matter where you go to in the world,hotels are there,too.

   F. Some keep contact with their friends via the Internet.

   G. Wherever we are,with just a little bit of effort and imagination

1.                  2.                  3.                  4.          5.      

不论身处何处,只要稍加努力和想象力,我们就能把栖身之地营造成一个"家"!

1. D 考查层递关系。本句引出下文,重点谈长期在外的人们对"家"的感受。

2. B此处为平行关系,列举一些事例:有些人……有些人……还有些人……故选B项。

3. F考查总分关系。本段主要讲出门在外时与家人朋友保持联系,也是让人有归属感的方法之一。

        A  ★★★☆☆

    Since mobile phones slimmed down from the size of bricks,I’ve had one pressed to my ear. It has become my personal assistant,best friend and connection to the outside world. I even go to bed with it!We’ ve become addicted to our mobiles — and I,as ? journalist ?n? natural talker,suffer more than most.

    So I decided to go cold turkey for two weeks,to see if I could keep the bills down (It once cost me £4,500 a month) and survive without a mobile.

    The feeling is one of freedom,escape and calm. You can have a coffee without seeing 25 messages,and read the newspaper without being interrupted (?T ^b) . I went old-school and started to make appointments using email and phone boxes (if I could find one) . But soon I realized that,much as I was managing without my mobile,others were unable to do the most basic practicalities without me.

    Taxi companies couldn’t find me,my wife got angiy because she needed me to pick up the kids,and colleagues thought I’d died because the phone didn't ring.

    But I re-engaged with the art of observation. I saw the world around me instead of texting or playing with some new (应用软件) .It was the old me around 1990,and I quite liked it — but no one else did. So the mobile is back,but the bills are lower,and I now turn it off once a week and leave ther world of my pocket behind. Try it!
