阅读理解

　　I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I’ll be with you again on holiday．I enjoy my stay in England very much indeed．My host and my fellow-students are all very nice to me but as they say in England “There’s no place like home” and I think you will feel this above all at Christmas time．

　　I’m leaving here early on Thursday the 23rd and I’ll be arriving in Paris on Friday morning．So I’ll be home about lunch time．Please meet me at the station．In some of my earlier letters I have told you all about the other students here．Well I want to ask my Canadian friend Ian to come and spend Christmas and he has no friends in England except me．He is a very nice boy．I know you will like him and I feel sure he will enjoy Christmas with us．But I haven’t invited him yet．Please let me know soon if that’s all right．I’ve got some Christmas presents for you all but I’m not going to tell you what they are so it will be a surprise．

　　How are you all at home? I hope you are all keeping well．See that father always puts on his big coat when he goes out so that he will not catch cold．We don’t want him ill for Christmas．

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．C;4．B;5．B;
提示：
(1) 此文以第一人称入笔写“一想到回家和你们度假”就“非常兴奋(very excited)”，叙述自己状况，最后还问候家人，情真意切，不难看出是一封信。 (2) 作者要回家。她将在周五早上到达Paris，并让家人届时去接。所以可判断她可能是“a French woman”． (4) 文中所引谚语类似中国那句古话“金窝、银窝，不如自己的草窝”。也就是说一个人只有待在自己家里和亲人在一起时最感适意。不是说家的外表，也不是和别人家相比，所以选B项。 (5) 此题误选A项的较多。谚语一般是由某一地域人民广泛传诵而流传开来的；因而，此处也应泛指“英国人民(the English people)”，而不确指某一或几个人。
