Ⅲ.阅读理解
What makes a house a home?
Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.
Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses；it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”
Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.
We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.
While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you're with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”
Happy homecoming.
1． According to the author，what makes a house a home?
A．All the belongings in the house.
B．Feelings of warmth and comfort.
C．The houses and circumstances.
D．Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。作者开头就点明，“家”不在于屋子面积的大小，接下来引用John Edwards书中对于这个概念的评论，以及后面作者对自己童年的回顾，可以推知，在作者看来，只有当人们在屋子里感觉到温暖和舒服时屋子才能称得上“家”。
2． About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that ________.
A．it was the description of Edwards' houses
B．it is mainly about houses
C．it helps us understand the concept(概念)of home
D．it was written by the author of the text
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由文中对于书中内容的介绍可知，这本书不是论述房子，而是对于“什么是家”进行的阐述。
3．What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?
A．His house was too old to live in.
B．He missed the feeling of home.
C．He hated living there.
D．He missed his old friends too much.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。本篇文章阐述的是“家”的概念，作者用自己记忆中对童年的回顾来表现“有温情才是家”这一观点，因此对于童年的记忆其目的就是表现自己对家的感情。
4．It can be inferred according to the text that ________.
A．the author's family was very rich
B．every happy home is the same
C．the author has been living an unhappy life
D．the author and Edwards hold similar ideas
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。对比作者对于童年的回顾和Edwards在书中所写关于“家”的看法可知，两人都认为“家”不是概念上的“房子”，而是与“人”的因素有关，与人的真情有关，因此两人对于“家”的看法是相似的。
