4.Many students feel that living in a private home in Britain will be a help to them in learning English,and will also be a good experience in itself.Younger students may feel (81)happierin a home than in a hotel,for they can have someone caring for them like their parents.Many British people like to be the"host"to tourists around the world,especially to(82)foreignstudents.This is not just because being a host will bring in some extra money,but because they really enjoy letting someone from a different country live in their house and (83)sharingpart of their daily life.A"host"family does not always consist of two parents with children.People like this are often too busy to take care of a student (84)besidestheir own children.However,a widow(寡妇),or a couple whose children are away at school or grown up,often make excellent"host",for they have enough time to spare.Students should try to fit in with the everyday life of the family.There may be some (85)differencesand misunderstanding-on either side,but it is easy to clear them up quickly with good will and good humor.The secret of your success is to be interested.
And a host tries to create more chances for the student to practice English.He always (86)encourages the student to speak English as much as possible in the home.He always does something to let the student feel at home and treat him/her as a member of the family,not a paying (87)guestHe provides not only a balanced diet,a clean and comfortable room,but also a home environment for the student.
分析 文章大意:许多学生觉得在英国住在一个私人家庭里对他们学习英语有帮助,许多英国人也喜欢成为世界各地的旅客的"主人",这不仅因为他们可以得到额外的收入,还因为他们喜欢让来自他国的人住在他们的家里并分享他们的日常生活.寄宿家庭通常不由带着孩子的家庭组成,而寡妇或孩子已经长大离家的夫妇这样的家庭构成是寄宿家庭的优选,因为这样房客才能被照顾到,房主也会努力地创造机会给学生们来练习英语.
解答 81.happier 考查形容词的比较级.结合语境可各有此处表示年轻的学生们在家比在酒店更觉得开心,用happy表示开心的,由than可知要用happy的比较级.
82.foreign 考查形容词与对语境的理解.由from a different country可知此处表示特别是成为外国学生的"主人",用foreign表示外国的.
83.sharing 考查动词与固定搭配.enjoy doing sth表示喜欢做某事,结合语境可知此处表示分享他们的日常生活的一部分,and连接并列成分,此句中的letting someone from a different country live in their house与(83)part of their daily life并列,所以用share表示分享,且它要与letting的形式保持一致,填share的现在分词形式.
84.besides 考查介词与对语境的理解.结合语境可知此处表示像这样的人常常太忙碌了而不能除了照顾他们自己的孩子,还要照顾一个学生,用besides表示除了.
85.differences 考查名词与对语境的理解.由第一段可知寄宿家庭里的房客常常是外国人,所以此处表示对双方来说可能会有一些不同之处与一些误解,用difference表示不同之处,有some修饰,所以填它的复数形式.
86.encourages 考查动词与时态.结合语境可知此处表示他总是鼓励学生们在家尽量地多说英语,用encourage表示鼓励,由always可知时态是一般现在时,主语he是第三人称单数,所以填它的三单形式.
87.guest 考查名词与对语境的理解.由第一段可知寄宿家庭里的学生是住在英国的私人家庭里的房客,此句的主语he指的是a host,指的是房主,所以可推测此处表示他总是做一些事物来让学生觉得在自己家里一样,并像家人一样对他/她,而不是把他/她当成一个寄宿者用guest表示客人,a paying guest表示寄宿者.
