One of the most popular vacation destinations for young families is the home of relatives. 1 Here are some tips for making sure you are invited back again.
Be considerate.
Every family has their own way of doing things. Keep these things in mind when you're visiting.
If your host family are early to bed and early to rise, don't keep them up talking until one o'clock in the morning.
If your host family gets angry about kids running wildly, either plan to keep a close eye on your kids or plan to stay somewhere else. 2
Offer to help out.
Playing host to a family with children can be quite a challenge. Make sure you help lighten the load.
3 Offer to help with cooking and clean-up. Make your beds and run to the store for milk. Better yet, don't ask. Just start working.
Help pay for food.
This may not apply, if you're visiting parents and they insist on paying for everything and they can afford it. 4 Use your judgment when it comes to parents. However, if you're visiting cousins, it will be a great help to them if you buy your share of the food.
Show your appreciation.
No matter whom you are visiting, make sure you let them know you appreciate their hospitality (盛情招待). 5 Or leave some fresh flowers when you leave. If you don't have enough money, write them a letter, letting them know how much fun you had and how much you appreciate them.
A.Don't expect your hosts to supply your every need.
B.Offer to take them out to dinner on your last night in the town.
C.Make sure you don't leave your things behind while visiting a family.
D.In that case you may hurt your parents if you insist on paying for food.
E.Try not to disturb someone who is in the middle of exams.
F.Staying with relatives is a great way to save money while getting away from home for a while.
G.Having a talk with your children about expected behavior while visiting is always a good idea.

答案
1.F 上句提到年轻家庭去远方旅行最佳的目的地之一是自己的亲戚所在的城市,而F选项就讲述了去亲戚所在城市旅行的好处,符合语境。
2.G 设空处上句提到如果你的孩子在亲戚家疯跑让亲戚生气了,那么要么看紧自己的孩子,要么就去别的地方住。G选项“在拜访亲戚家的时候跟孩子谈一谈在别人家应该有的表现总是个好主意”与上句紧密相连,都是讲在亲戚家停留期间如何不让孩子影响到别人的心情。
3.A 设空处后的句子都是在具体讲在别人家停留的时候自己能做的事情要亲力亲为,不要总是麻烦别人。A项(不要指望主人满足你的一切需求)与下文相呼应。
4.D 设空处上句讲的是如果你是在探望自己的父母,他们有经济能力而且又坚持每一样东西都由他们付款的话,你可以不必坚持在买食物的时候付款。下句又说面对父母付款这种情况要做好判断,所以空格处应该是说在上述的情况下如果你坚持自己付款可能会导致的不好的结果:伤害他们的感情。
5.B 设空处上句讲到无论拜访的是谁,一定要让对方知道你很感激他们的盛情款待。而下句讲的是表达感激的另一种方式:在离开的时候给他们送一些鲜花。所以空格处讲的应该是表达这种感激的方式之一,B项(在你离开的前一天晚上请对方吃一顿饭)符合语境。
答案
1.are considering 考查动词时态。由“at the moment”可知,consider所表示的动作正在进行,应用现在进行时,故填are considering。
2.to 考查固定短语。固定短语be similar to...意为“与……相似”,此处作状语。
3.are 考查动词时态。由“Generally”可知,设空处是对一般事实的描述,应用一般现在时,故填are。
4.travellers 考查名词复数。设空处作从句的主语,表示“旅行者”,且空前无冠词,故应用名词复数,故填travellers。
5.it 考查代词。设空处作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语,故填it。
6.easier 考查形容词比较级。由空前的much和空后的than可知,此处应用形容词比较级,故填easier。
7.useful 考查形容词。设空处应用形容词作表语,表示“有用的”
8.that/which 考查关系词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,且关系词在从句中作主语,先行词是attractions
9.to find 考查非谓语动词。“使用网络”的目的是“找到要去的餐馆、要进行的活动以及要参观的标志性建筑”
10.finally 考查副词用法。设空处作状语修饰result in,表示“最终”。
