Long in the 1700s,“home” was used as a verb,meaning “to be guided to a destination.” So,when you home in on something you get closer to your target.For example,you could say,“Police are homing in on the suspects.”

But today,“home” is more often used as a noun.And it has a very emotional connection for American English speakers.You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “Home is where the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort.It is a place where you belong,and often a place you consider your origin.You can also simply carry the feeling of home with you—that is,a feeling of love and loyalty to your family and places that are dear to you.

In other words,“home” is not simply a building where you live—that’s a house.Some people find that returning to a childhood place brings only joy and delight.When these people return to their childhood homes,they may say “Home Sweet Home!”

Of course,you can say this anywhere.A single woman living alone in her first apartment may come home after a tough day at work and sigh,“Ah,home sweet home!” If she loves her apartment she might also say:“There’s no place like home.”

But what about those people who must stay away from their homes for a long time? They still want to feel connected to a place they can depend on.Hotels know this about travelers.Many advertise that they will be a home away from home.This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.

Friends can also give you a home away from home.When you visit them,they may say to you:“Make yourself at home!” This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.

1.When the police say they are homing in on the suspects,they mean 　　　. 

A.they will go to the suspects’ home B.they will catch the suspects soon

C.they are going home with the suspects D.they are getting closer to the home

2.What does the underlined word “dear” in Para.2 mean?

A.precious   B.expensive 

C.familiar   D.favorite

3.Why do many hotels advertise that they will be a home for the travelers?

A.To provide a home for the travelers.

B.To make the travelers believe they have a home.

C.To convince the travelers of how comfortable their hotels are.

D.To describe their hotels more vividly.

4.When you want to make someone feel relaxed and welcome,you can say 　　　. 

A.Help yourself   B.Make yourself at home

C.Just do it   D.Don’t be nervous

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了home一词词义的发展演变过程。

答案及剖析:

1.B　推理判断题。根据when you home in on something you get closer to your target可知,home in on指的是“更加接近某物”,故选B。

2.A　词义猜测题。根据...home is anywhere you feel love and comfort.It is a place where you belong,and often a place you consider your origin.You can also simply carry the feeling of home with you—that is,a feeling of love and loyalty to your family可知,此处的places对人们的意义应同“家”一样,故A最合适。

3.C　细节理解题。由Many advertise that they will be a home away from home.This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.可知,许多旅店说他们会给顾客提供一个家,为的是使顾客相信他们的旅店是多么舒适,故选C。

4.B　细节理解题。由When you visit them,they may say to you:“Make yourself at home!” This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.可知,make yourself at home意思是使对方放松,故选B。

Ⅱ.七选五

(2018河南示范高中联考)

Health care is regarded as an important way to improve the health and well-being of people around the world.In many countries of the world,free health care is provided by the government.1.　　 

Clearly,we all have to pay for this service through our taxes.

2.　　　 They say that people who take unnecessary risks should not receive this free health care.For example,people who join in risky activities such as skiing are more likely to have an accident.It has been suggested that these people should pay for any medical treatment they require. 

3.　　　 Firstly,it’s difficult to say exactly what is risky and what is not.For example,not doing enough exercise is probably more risky than skiing in the long run.As a result,it isn’t fair to give free health care to an inactive person and make the skier pay.4.　　   　 Clearly,these people should receive free medical treatment if they are hurt on the job. 

Finally,I would like to say that I think free health care is a good thing.I understand that the system is not perfectly fair because some people use it more than others.Besides,not all the medical treatment is really necessary for the health of the patient.The taxpayer should not have to pay the costs of such treatment.5.　　   

A.It offers plenty of money to run.

B.Personally,I disagree with this point of view.

C.However,some people think this is basically unjust.

D.This means that everybody has a chance to see a doctor.

E.Free health care will decrease the economy of the country.

F.Besides,firefighters take risks,but they are necessary risks.

G.However,in my opinion,this is a small price to pay for a healthier society.

答案:1-5　DCBFG

语篇解读:文章主要讲述了一个圣诞节发生的故事。一位男士让擦鞋匠擦鞋时,给了她女儿一根鸡腿,让她度过了一个愉快的圣诞节。小女儿也学着把食物分享给一只流浪狗。这是一个充满感恩的故事。

答案及剖析:

1.A　根据文章第一句话“Give your shoes a shine,sir?” 可知文中的妇女是擦鞋匠,一个中年男人坐下来让她给他擦鞋。所以选A。

2.B　根据下文hid herself behind the woman 可知,小女孩站在她妈妈身边。所以选B。

3.B　根据第一段中的moving into and out of McDonald’s 可以推知,此处表示“小女孩渴望地看着他身后的餐馆”。

4.C　walk off 走开;take off (使)离开;back off后退;drop off落下,减少。女孩往后退然后藏到那个妇女身后。

5.D　根据后文的staring可知,此处指“眼睛”。

6.D　上文说到男士拿出一根鸡腿,所以此处表示“盯着他的手看”。

7.C　根据下文“I’ve got a lot of them”可以推知,此处选用与got同义的动词buy。

8.A　此处指在完成工作以后买,所以用after。

9.C　在男士的坚持之下,妇女让小女孩接受了鸡腿。从上文可知一开始妇女是拒绝的,这里有转折,所以应表示“接受”。

10.D　根据前文可知妇女给男士擦鞋,后文说男士付了钱,所以此处应该是男士对妇女的服务特别满意,所以选D。

11.A　be about to是“就要,将要”的意思。在男士就要离开的时候,女孩突然说:“我知道,你是圣诞老人。” leave有“离开”的意思,所以选A。

12.C　根据前文的Santa Claus可知,这一天是圣诞节,所以此处表达为Merry Christmas to you,意为“圣诞快乐”。

13.D　根据下文中的bite可知,女孩把鸡腿举到妇女的嘴边。选D。

14.B　由妇女是擦鞋匠可知,她们母女生活贫穷,所以当小女孩给她吃鸡腿的时候,妇女不舍得吃,只咬了一小口,因此用slight。

15.D　由文中a dirty dog可以推知,小狗可能是只流浪狗,所以应该是渴望地看着小女孩希望可以得到一点吃的。

16.A　tear off 撕下,tore是tear的过去式。她撕下一小块送到小狗嘴边。throw off摆脱,抛掉;break off 折断;cut off 切除。

17.D　wag摇动,摆动,由常识可知,狗高兴时会摇尾巴。故选D项。

18.B　从下文“他一定在说:‘我知道你是圣诞老人’”可知,小女孩认为小狗在说话。所以选B。

19.C　由another可知,是“另一片,又一片”,所以是小女孩又给了小狗一片肉,所以选C。

20.D　这句话是小女孩对小狗说的话,从上文的He 可以看出,小女孩把小狗当成了小男孩,且由前文男士说的“Merry 　12　 to you,my little girl.”可知,此处用boy。
