Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother, "Now, Albert, it is your 11 to seek your dream. I will support you."All heads turned to the far end of the table, 12 Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he sobbed and repeated, "No ...no." Finally, Albert rose and 13 the tears from his cheeks.He said softly, "I cannot go to Nuremberg, brother. It is too late for me. Look 14 four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to 15 your toast."Today, Albrecht Durer's masterful works 16 in every great museum in the world, but chances are great 17 you, like most people, are familiar with only one of them.

They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame(责怪)others, and you play the role of victim(受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard(标准)for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.21. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success22. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means .A. th ey’ll push you aheadB. they’ll influence youC. they’ll cover your shortcomingsD. they’ll help you achieve your goal23. The musician s’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show .A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeedingBPeople who work at night learn to sleep during the day and eat at night. Students who fly halfway across the world to study in another country get used to the new time zone(时区)after a few days. When they go home, they change back again. Our bodies are controlled by a biological clock, but we can learn to reset it at a different time. If you have to fly quite often all over the world, try the following pieces of advice.●Try not to become exhausted before you leave, get plenty of sleep, and leave enough time to get to the airport and check in without having to hurry.●Wear loose clothes, and take your shoes off while you are in your seat.●Walk around the plane and move around in your seat.●Figure out breakfast time in the time zone you are flying to. Four days before your flight, start a feast and fast schedule. On the fourth day before you fly, eat three heavy meals. If you drink coffee, tea or cola drinks that contain caffeine, have them only between 3:00 and 5:00 p. m. On the third day before your flight, eat very lightly—salad, light soups, fruits, and juices. Again, havedrinks with caffeine only between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. On the next to the last day before you leave, feast again. On the day before you leave, fast. If you are flying west, drink caffeinated drinks in the morning; if you are going east, drink them between 6:00 and 11:00 p.m.On the day you leave, have your first meal at the time people in the new time zone eat breakfast. If it is a long flight, sleep on the plane until the new breakfast time, and don’t drink any alcohol. When you wake up, have a big meal. Stay awake and active, and eat at the new time zone hours.24. The passage is mainly written for those who .A. work at nightB. travel abroadC. work on the planeD. have eating problems25. Which of the following can explain “a feast and fast schedule”?A. Eat three heavy meals and eat very quickly for four days.B. Eat a lot one day and then eat lightly the next day.C. Drink coffee, tea or cola drinks only between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.D. Eat very lightly—salad, light soups, fruits, and juices for four days.26. What should you do during a long flight?A. Wear loose clothes and don’t wear any shoes.B. Keep walking around the plane during the flight.C. Drink caffeinated drinks to keep awake and active.D. Sleep on the plane until the new breakfast time.CFeeling satisfied with yourself and your life can actually protect against cancer，strokes (中风),accidents and more .Happiness not only makes you good, but it’s good for you.Being happy can prevent—Cancer .One Swedish study showed that people who were unhappy at work had a 5.5 times greater risk of getting colon cancer than happier ones. Why? Recent research suggests depression （沮丧）weakens the body’s disease-fighting defenses.Strokes .Happy people are less likely to develop high blood pressure, a major risk factor for strokes, says Lyle H. Miller, Ph.D.Diabetes(糖尿病). The unhappiness that results form stress can sometimes bring about diabetes, according to Miller’s research .If stress is a long time ,this can wear out the pancreas(胰腺) and possibly cause it to produce too little insulin .That’s why people can suffer diabetes.Here are a few ways to stay happy and healthy:1) Fix attention on the positive, like good health and a loving family .If you start enjoying what you have, you’ll feel happier.2) Stop wishing for what you don’t have. People who feel satisfied are happier with their lives. “Satisfaction isn’t getting what you want; it’s wanting what you have,” says David G. Myers, Ph. D.3) Choose to be happy. “Happiness is a belief, so make up your mind to be happy,”says Wayne Dyer.4) Stay connected with other people you love. “Social support –feeling liked and encouraged by friends and family –develop happiness and good health,” says Myers.5) Get “high” on exercise.27. Being happy can prevent all the following EXCEPTA. cancerB. strokesC. diabetesD. insulin28.The underlined phrase “wear out ”in Paragraph 4 probably meansA .make something dangerousB. make something thin or damagedC. make something harmfulD. make something old and ugly29. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. Trying to get what you still don’t have.B. Paying more attention to work and moneyC. Spending more time with your familyD. Trying to get a higher position in the company30. What does the passage mainly tell us ?A. How we can live longB. Happiness is good for healthC. Cancer can be preventedD.

Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy . Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some used another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper .The cost is usually a few dollars .Some of the messages are simple and short, “Jane,I love you very much .” Others say more .This one, for example,“Dan, Roses are red .violets are blue .I hope you love me as much as I love you .Forever, Mary.”Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a faraway city or town almost anywhere in the world .These messages cost 80 dollars and more .An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.31. When was the day named after Valentine’s death.A. More than 1700 years ago before Valentine’s death.B. More than 2000 years ago.C. On February 24.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.32. Which is not true about the Roman holiday?A.

高二英语周周练试题阅读理解：AMy three-year-old granddaughter fell from her bike onto the road before I could catch her. Emily lay there for a moment, guessing her chances of survival. Finding the chances were in her favor, she sat upwith a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her knee. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort as I carried her into the house to mend her hurt.With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment on her knee. I kissed her cheek. ―All better now, sweetie?‖―No, Grandma, you must say the Mommy words,‖she said. I quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind: Please? Thank you?I love you? ―You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me all better.‖Emily took a deep breath and recited (朗诵), ―A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love.‖My mind raced and I remembered. It was the same little song that I had said to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the ―Mommy words‖that made all bad things go away and only the good remain. Hearing it now, I realized that though I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers —we were connected at the heart.I heard my grandmother’s, my mother’s, my daughter’s, my granddaughter’s, and my own voice mixing through time.―Don’t cry, Grandma. I am all better.‖Emily and I kissed and hugged, and said the Mommy words to each other.1. After falling from the bike, Emily lay on the ground for a moment_____.A. wondering if she was aliveB. waiting for her grandmother’s helpC. because she was badly injuredD. because she was deeply shocked2.

Mo Yan is known as a productive writer. In addition to his novels, he has published many short stories and essays on various topics. Despite his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the most famous contemporary authors.

An Introduction to Nobel PrizeDWhat makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value？What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me sinceI was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift.13．The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A．doing shoppingB．having a debateC．reading a messageD．leaving for Wyoming14．The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______.A．a photo of a flowerB．a story about a kidC．a call from the motherD．a text about Christmas15．The author made the gift by ______.A．searching for the poems onlineB．drawing the background by handC．painting the letters in three colorsD．matching the words with pictures第二节完形填空阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

More than 7,000 teenagers were 25 about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 per cent, cared most about their looks. They were 26 by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 per cent.“The different results show 27 of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He explained that in the US there are many different 28 of beauty, so teens are more 29 to be confident about their appearance.US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed in the 30 . About 85 per cent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 per cent.What’s 31 , US students showed more individuality, with 88 per cent 32 that “people should follow their own interests rather than 33 of others”.

But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selecte d as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable(可靠), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览) the Internet.A few other tips●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.41. The passage is mainly about the subject of _______.A. American children going on-lineB. Internet in AmericaC. appreciating InternetD. opposing children’s on-line42. The best way to protect children from improper material is _______.A. to install(安装) a content screener on the computerB. to buy some search engines for the childrenC. to be nearby when they are surfing the InternetD. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong43. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.B. Children’s not having access to Internet may have effect on their progress.C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.D. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.44. According to the passage, we can infer that _______.A. soft wares fit for children want programmingB. a child who is on-line is in dangerC. Internet is a jungle full of dangerD. Internet contains a lot of harmful sitesBWhat is a Leap Year?Nearly all modem societies use some kind of calendar to decide on the dates and times of everything. Some societies use lunar calendars, which are based on the rotation of the moon around Earth, and others use solar calendars, based on the Earth circling around the sun. The United States, like much of the rest of the world, uses a solar calendar.The solar calendar is known as the Gregorian calendar. It was developed from the Julian calendar, which was created in 46 BC by Julius Caesar.The Julian calendar was also a solar calendar, based on the time it takes for Earth to travel one complete loop (循环) around the sun. In Julius Caesar's time, although astronomers believed the sun moved around Earth, they still managed to make fairly accurate measurements of the length of a complete cycle. A solar year, they calculated, was about 365.25 days long.Julius Caesar, deciding it difficult to add 1/4 of a day onto each year, ordered one extra day to be added every four years to the month of February, creating what would be called "leap" years. This calendar was used by the western world for over a thousand years.Unfortunately, a problem occurred. When Caesar ordered a leap year every four years, he was putting in too many extra days. A solar year is not 365.25 days long, but in fact 365.24219 days. The difference is very small, but over several hundred years it began to add up. By the 1500s, spring holidays were starting to happen in the summer.In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII came up with an idea of how to fix the problem. In the new calendar, there is still a leap year almost every four years, but there is also a new rule. If the year ends in 00, it is only a leap year if the year's number can be divided by 400. For example, 1800 and1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was.The new calendar was so accurate that it was adopted by almost every country in the world.45. Which is the name of the calendar currently used in the United States?A. the Gregorian calendarB. the Julian calendarC. the Lunar calendarD. the Pope's calendar46. When were leap years first used?A. 46 BCB. 1592C. 1800D. 158247. By our modern calendar, which of the following years will be a leap year?A. 2100B. 2500C. 2200D. 2800CMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against t he walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.48. What is the best title for this newspaper article?A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet SalesmanB. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape RouteC. Driver Escapes Through Car BootD. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident49. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?A. The hammer.B. The coin.C. The screw.D. The horn.50. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.C. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.51. “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______.A. Luckily the door was torn away in the endB. At last the wrench went brokenC. The lock came open after all his effortsD. The chance was lost at the last minute52. It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a clear warm dayC. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchD. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedDIce dancing developed from ballroom dancing, particularly the waltz（华尔兹）, and was very popular in the early 1900s. It requires well-trained, exact footwork, conformity（协调）with one another’s steps, and a good sense of timing and rhythm. Ice dancing differs from pairs skating in that ice dancers are limited to lifts no high er than the man’s shoulders and there are no jumps. One skate must be on the ice at all times.Ice dancing competitions are made up of three principal parts: compulsories（规定舞蹈）, original（原创的）dance, and free dance. In compulsories, partners must perform two dances selected by the ISU, for example, waltz, tango, or polka. Compulsories contain set patterns in which dancers perform and repeat steps at certain points around the arena. Although the steps are predetermined（预定）, dancers are encouraged to perform them for artistic charm. Each compulsory dance counts for 15 percent of a pair’s final score.The original dance, formerly known as the original set pattern dance, requires skaters to design their own performance to their choice of music, set to a speed and rhythm announced by the ISU. It counts for 35 percent of the final score, and skaters receive marks for composition and presentation. In the free dance, the partners perform a dance to music of their choice. They are given marks for presentation and style as well as for technical value. This dance counts for 50 percent of the final score.53. The best title for this passage would be ______．A. Ice SkatingB. Ice SkiingC. Ice BalletD. Ice Dancing54. Ice dancing competitions are made up of three parts: compulsories, original dance, and free dance.A．active B．unnecessary C．chief D．similar55. If a pair performs successfully in the first two parts but obtains only half of the score in the free dance, the final score is probably .A．78 B．72 C．52 D．8356. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about ice dancing?A．Well-trained, exact footwork. B．Conformity with each other’s steps.C．A good sense of music.

It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.21. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.B. She became more and more forgetful.C. She preferred to do everything by herself.D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.22. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because _______.A. she had already finished themB. my mother had taken them awayC. she forgot where she had left themD. someone in my family was holding them23. The underlined part to the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.A. is happy to clean windowsB. loves to clean used windowsC. is fond of clean used windowsD. likes clean windows as my mother did24. This passage mainly tells us that _______.A. my mother often made us confusedB. my family members had a poor memoryC. my mother helped us to form a good habitD. my wife was surprised when she visited my motherBI began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didn’t sell a single one.”“ My God,Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become agood-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.25. Why did the boy start his job young?A. He wanted to be famous in the future.B. The job was quite easy for him.C. His mother had high hopes for him.D. The competition for the job was fierce.26. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.A. excitedB. interestedC. ashamedD. disappointed27. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A. She forced him to continue.B. She punished him.C. She gave him some money.D. She changed her plan.28. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?A. The war between the boy’s parents.B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.D. The fight between the boy and his father.29. What is the text mainly about?A. The early life of a journalist.B. The early success of a journalist.C. The happy childhood of the writer.D. The important role of the writer in his family.CMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then Inoticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom."Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said."Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.30. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City_________.A. to visit a friendB. to see his parentsC. to pay at the cash registerD. to have more gas for his car31.

These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have something to worry about.Host family accommodation is often as the No.1 choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, and get to know the local of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities ,now generally single and young, have less time available for students ,but the selling point for host family accommodation iscommunication practice .On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they mainly come from high social-economic groups in their countries.To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better; including providing broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also offering students structured family activities.It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.Title : Host Family (1)_____________参考答案：一．完形：DBCCA BDBBA DAACC DBBAC二. 阅读理解：DBDC CDABA ABCCD三．任务性阅读：1.
