“Home stay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local（当地的）family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
35．In the “home stay” program, a visitor can ________.
A．learn more about holidays
B．understand his culture better
C．improve the language ability
D．live in a Chinese family

A．last month
B．years ago
C．the special meeting
D．last term

C．stay with different families
D．teach students English
38．The writer’s host family ________.
A．was very kind to her
B．went sightseeing with her
C．had two white daughters
D．planned things for her

A．away B．on C．off D．from
【答案】C

考查含有情态动词的被动语态以及动词辨析。can能够；must必须。根据常识可知，主语“The young trees”和谓语动词“water（浇水）”是被动关系，所以此句应用被动语态，排除A和D；根据“...or they’ll die.”可知，为了不让小树死掉，人们必须每天给小树浇水，此处应用must表必须。故选C。

27．句意：计算机能迅速准确地给我们提供更多的信息
accurate正确无误的，形容词，对应的副词为accurately。and连接并列成分，quickly为副词，所以此处填写副词，故填accurately。

29． does he/she
30． keen on
31． are worn
32． Why did
33． responsible for
34．The room is bright enough for the doctor to operate in.
28．句意：他不到3小时就成功地完成了SAT考试。
考查同义词组。原句运用一般过去时。be successful in doing sth.“成功做某事”，形容词短语，与动词短语succeed in doing sth.同义。故答案为succeeded in。
29．句意：11点30分以后，这个神通很少和伙伴讨论生意。
考查反义疑问句。题干谓语动词为discusses（一般现在时），那么当陈述部分有never，seldom，hardly，few，little，barely，scarcely，nothing，none，rarely，no，not，no one，nobody，neither等否定意义的词汇时，后面的反意疑问句则为肯定形式：助动词+人称代词，即：“前否后肯”。故答案为does he/she。
30．句意：学生们放学后对打橄榄球感兴趣。
考查同义词组。be interested in sth./doing sth.“对……感兴趣”，be keen on sth./doing sth.也有“对……感兴趣”之意。故答案为keen on。
31．句意：学生们每天在学校都穿制服。
考查被动语态。已知被动语态的构成：助动词be+及物动词的过去分词，本句时态为一般现在时。故答案为are worn。
32．句意：他出国学习如何当工程师。
考查特殊疑问句。题干运用一般过去时，划线部分是动词不定式结构，在句中作目的状语。那么询问目的，应该用疑问词why，“为什么”。故答案为Why did。
33．句意：这个男孩负责家族企业的销售部门。
考查同义词组。be in charge of...“负责，掌管”，与be responsible for...同义。故答案为responsible for。
34．句意：房间很明亮，医生可以在里面做手术。
考查造句能力。bright“明亮的”，形容词，作定语。is“是”，系动词，可与形容词构成系表结构。the room“房间”，名词，可作主语。enough“足够”，在此作副词，修饰形容词bright，并位于形容词后。for“对……而言”，介词，表示对象。the doctor“医生”，名词。to不定式符号，无实义；operate“手术”；in“在……里”；“to operate in”是带介词的动词不定式结构，因operate是不及物动词，所以介词in不能省略。综上所述，故答案为 The room is bright enough for the doctor to operate in.

“Home stay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local（当地的）family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
