Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．C;5．D;
解析：

(1)	细节理解题。由第一段第三句home-stay provides foreign language students with the opportunity”可知本文是为英语学习者写的。
(2)	细节理解题。由第一个要点What to expect中的第二句Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week．可知答案。
(3)	推理判断题。由第二个小标题的内容可知：Zone 1不是居住区；Zones 3 and 4 often offer smaller accommodation一句说到Zone 3和4的住所更小，那么，只能和Zone 2相比更小了。
(4)	细节理解题。由第三个小标题中的Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee．一句可知答案。
(5)	细节理解题。由最后一段This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle可知答案。而C项To entertain friends as they like仅是一个方面。退一步说，就算在独立的房子，也不能To entertain friends as they like，还要照顾邻居的感受。
