Self-Catering 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.

分析 文章介绍了英国的Homestay的相关情况.
解答 21.D,主旨大意题.由第一段第一句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,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,而可能是为那些申请在英国人家中居住的英语学习者写的.
22.C,推理判断题,根据句子Zones 3and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area.可知,Zone4比起Zone2没那么拥挤,故答案为C.
23.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SelfCatering 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.
点评 本题考查广告布告类阅读理解.这类题材的阅读理解是高考常考的内容,难度较小,考生可以通读全文,了解大意,在此基础上再根据问题结合选项及语境做出正确的选择.
