Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
◇Continental Breakfast
◇Breakfast and Dinner
◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask for your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering (自助的)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.
21.The passage is probably written for________.
A．hosts willing to receive foreign students
B．foreigners hoping to build British culture
C．travelers planning to visit families in London
D．English learners applying to live in English homes
22. Which of the following will the host provide?
A．Room cleaning. B．Medical care. C．Free transport. D．Physical training.
23. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
B．Accommodation in the city center is not provided.
C．Hosts dislike traveling to the city center.
D．The business center of London is in Zone 1.
24. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?
A．To enrich their knowledge of English. B．To enjoy much more freedom.
C．To entertain friends as they like. D．To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
B.
You get anxious if there’s no Wi-Fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.
For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”
Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.
25. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The popularity of smart phones. B．The progress of modern technology.
C．The signs of “always on” stress. D．The cause of smart phone addiction.
26. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.
A．research how people use their mobile phones
B．help people control their use of mobile phones
C．make people better use mobile phones
D．increase the fun of using mobile phones
27. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.
A．we will become less productive B．we can make a decision more quickly
C．we will be equipped with more knowledge D．we can work more effectively
C.
Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies，but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles (洛杉矶)two years ago. The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested. “I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge effect on society as a whole.” One of the students in a recent class was KiChong Tran. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia.
3D printing services are becoming available for American consumers. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer（零售商）that provides shipping, copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego（圣地亚哥）. “The demand has been amazing. It’ s been much more than I would have imagined.” The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.
At The UPS Store, the cost of the object depends on the amount of materials used. The store charges up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file to guide the printer.
Mr. Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more popular. But KiChong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.
“With 3D printing, you can give them tools; you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank; you can actually create things that give value to the world.”
He says it’s not just in Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer that it can turn a good idea into reality.
28. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．attract consumers to buy 3D printers
B．explain the importance of 3D printing
C．introduce a new technique—3D printing
D．describe the rapid development of technology
29. The Build Shop LLC is a store ______.
A．selling sewing machines B．known for tools like laser cutters
C．promoting 3D printers D．offering 3D printing classes and services
30. At the UPS Store，the cost of a 3D object depends on ______.
A．the amount of materials it uses B．the labor service it needs
C．the materials to make it and time to design it D．the size of the object
31. The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology
is _____.
A．objective B．positive C．uncertain D．critical
D.
The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights （突出，强调）the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in proper manner.
32. What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A．It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
33. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C．people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D．some stories make themselves feel uneasy
34. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A．freed B．broken C．unfolded D．untouched
35. The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D．realize the importance of being honest when making friends

A Deed a Day
It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat 41 we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit 42_as dinner was not on the table.
That night, I had a heavy _43 , thinking we were becoming taskmasters(监工) on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too _44 in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would 45 our own agendas（议事日程） and energize us toward the common good.
I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a 46 for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our_47 . And we all needed to write it down in the notebook.
I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually _48 than it seemed because it had to be something 49 what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not 50 .
We had a rough 51 . On some days, someone would forget to 52 a good deed, while, on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks, though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to 53 what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to 54 me the good deed they had done.
Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) 55 in our lives. Instead of always 56 what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else.
Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so 57 ? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only 58 by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in _59 . So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive 60_.
