Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes a shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from
It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.
Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell.
To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned.
Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned.
It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University.
4. Which of the following has the fishy smell
A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine.
5 What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species
A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers.
C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen.
6. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell
A. Objective.
B. Negative.
C. Acceptable.
D. Unclear.
7. How is the text organized
A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion.
C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion.

Bangladesh's floating gardens, built to grow food during flood seasons, could offer a continuous solution for parts of the world which are likely to suffer from flooding because of climate change, a new study has found.
Bangladesh's floating gardens began hundreds of years ago. The gardens are made from native plants that float in the rivers and operate almost like rafts (筏), rising and filling with the waters. Historically, they were used to continue growing food during rainy seasons when rivers were filled with water.
The farmers layer the plants about three feet deep, creating a version of raised-bed gardens that float in the water. Then, they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.
But as climate change affected the volume of water in those rivers, the researchers wanted to understand whether Bangladesh's floating gardens could be a continuous farming practice. They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.
They found that farmers typically use hybrid (杂交) seeds, which must be repurchased each year, to grow a diverse range of vegetables in the floating gardens. The gardens are also sensitive to pests, so farmers end up spending some money on both pesticides and fertilizers. But even with those expenses, they found, benefits outweighed costs. One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.
However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.
8. How do vegetable plants grow according to the text
A. By absorbing nutrition from raft-plants. B. By taking shelter from climate change.
C. By living together with hybrid seeds. D. By moving up and down with raised beds.
9. What might be a reply from farming families interviewed
A. “Our life becomes tough when rivers flood.” B. “Fewer vegetables are planted when water rises.”
C. “We harvest much more food during rainy seasons.” D. “Climate change has little influence on our income.”
10. What does the underlined word “outweighed” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Affected. B. Brought. C. Beat. D. Equaled.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. A solution to climate problem has been found. B. The gardens are built with rotted native plants.
C. Farmers earn more from traditional rice fields. D. Low-interest loans lighten the stress of farmers.
D
From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blin d passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Rom a and AedoProject—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo.-one director of GTBRoma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stitutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action.
12. How does the smart car window work
A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors.
13. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russ
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first.
C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages.
14. What difficulty is Ford facing currently
A. How to explore their future business model.
B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.
C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.
D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
C. Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views
D. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip Enjoyable

While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first, just do your best. Remember that the food you eat has a more significant effect on your health, weight and well being than almost any other activities you do. ____20____ Every meal made at home — even just once or twice a week — is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower eating style.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了鱼腥味产生的原因以及减少鱼腥味的方法。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.( 鱼类中的细菌还可以将赖氨酸转化为尸胺,这种物质与鱼类被捕获后分解并散发出腥味有关。)”可知,有鱼腥味的是尸胺。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned. (只要存在氧气,就会发生这种反应。脂肪鱼通常不会冷冻,因为尽管温度很低,但除非储存在低氧容器中,否则它们会很快氧化。这就是为什么这些物种经常被罐装的原因)”可知,减少肥鱼鱼腥味的最好方法是将它们储存在封闭的容器中。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture (或许你认为的这种鱼腥味在另一种文化中可能是一种美味)”可知,Carl A. Batt对鱼腥味的态度上客观的。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“How do the fishy smells come from (鱼腥味是怎么来的?)”提出问题,第二段讲到“It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. (从鱼被捕获到到达超市可能需要几天时间。)”以及第三段讲到“Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. (化学反应也会产生腥味)”是鱼腥味产生的原因,第四段讲到 “To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. (为了减缓鱼的腥味,毫无疑问的是,从鱼被捕获到到达厨房的时间越短越好。)”,第五段讲到“Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. (控制脂肪氧化也可以发挥作用,尤其是对脂肪含量较高的鱼类。)”和第六段讲到“It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. (同样重要的是要记住,气味并不总是安全的指标,尤其是在加工鱼类产品中。)”是解决方案。可知,这篇文章的组织结构是:问题——原因——解决方案。故选C。

Bangladesh's floating gardens, built to grow food during flood seasons, could offer a continuous solution for parts of the world which are likely to suffer from flooding because of climate change, a new study has found.
Bangladesh's floating gardens began hundreds of years ago. The gardens are made from native plants that float in the rivers and operate almost like rafts (筏), rising and filling with the waters. Historically, they were used to continue growing food during rainy seasons when rivers were filled with water.
The farmers layer the plants about three feet deep, creating a version of raised-bed gardens that float in the water. Then, they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.
But as climate change affected the volume of water in those rivers, the researchers wanted to understand whether Bangladesh's floating gardens could be a continuous farming practice. They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.
They found that farmers typically use hybrid (杂交) seeds, which must be repurchased each year, to grow a diverse range of vegetables in the floating gardens. The gardens are also sensitive to pests, so farmers end up spending some money on both pesticides and fertilizers. But even with those expenses, they found, benefits outweighed costs. One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.
However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.
8. How do vegetable plants grow according to the text
A. By absorbing nutrition from raft-plants. B. By taking shelter from climate change.
C. By living together with hybrid seeds. D. By moving up and down with raised beds.
9. What might be a reply from farming families interviewed
A. “Our life becomes tough when rivers flood.” B. “Fewer vegetables are planted when water rises.”
C. “We harvest much more food during rainy seasons.” D. “Climate change has little influence on our income.”
10. What does the underlined word “outweighed” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Affected. B. Brought. C. Beat. D. Equaled.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. A solution to climate problem has been found. B. The gardens are built with rotted native plants.
C. Farmers earn more from traditional rice fields. D. Low-interest loans lighten the stress of farmers.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了孟加拉国为在汛期种植粮食而建造的浮动花园。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“they plant vegetables inside those rafts. As the raft-plants rot away, they release nutrients, which help feed the vegetable plants.(他们在木筏里种蔬菜。当木筏植物腐烂时,它们会释放营养物质,帮助植物生长。)”可知,蔬菜植物是吸收木筏植物的营养生长的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“They interviewed farming families and found strong evidence that floating gardens provide stability, both in the amount of food available to feed rural populations and in a farming family's income.(他们采访了农业家庭,发现了强有力的证据表明,无论是在可供农村人口食用的食物量方面,还是在农业家庭的收入方面,浮动花园都提供了稳定性。)”可知,农业家庭收入很稳定,所以气候变化对收入影响不大。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“One farmer told the research team that he earns up to four times as much money from the gardens as from traditional rice fields.”可知,一位农民告诉研究小组,他从菜园中赚到的钱是从传统稻田中赚到的钱的四倍,故此处想表达的是即使农民最终会在杀虫剂和肥料上花一些钱,但是收益也会大于成本。故outweighed意为“大于”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“However, before gaining profits, farmers often take out high-interest loans (贷款) to cover the investment costs of filling the beds and stocking them with plants. Luckily; there are also lower-interest loans from responsible government or non-governmental organizations, which could ease that burden.(然而,在获得利润之前,农民往往会获得高息贷款(贷款) 以支付填充床和储存植物的投资成本。幸运的是;负责任的政府或非政府组织也提供低息贷款,可以减轻这种负担。)”可推知,作者想表达负责任的政府或非政府组织提供低息贷款,减轻了农民的压力。故选D项。
D
From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blin d passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Rom a and AedoProject—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo.-one director of GTBRoma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stitutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action.
12. How does the smart car window work
A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors.
13. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russ
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first.
C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages.
14. What difficulty is Ford facing currently
A. How to explore their future business model.
B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.
C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.
D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
C. Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views
D. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip Enjoyable
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。福特公司联合GTB Roma和Aedo Project研发了一款智能车窗,帮助盲人感受旅途中的风景,带给盲人全新的旅行体验。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it.(智能车窗的原型有一个面向外部的摄像头。只需按下一个按钮,系统就会拍下当前视图的照片。然后通过不同震动的LED灯将彩色图像转换成不同灰度的图像。当手指经过图像的不同区域时,它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈)”可知,智能车窗通过将风景转化为振动,它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stitutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”(他认为,这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车。“它可以作为一种工具引入学校和盲人机构,可以以多种方式使用。”)”可知,Federico Russo认为,这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车,还可以作为一种多用途的工具引入盲人学校和为盲人服务的机构。由此可推知,Federico Russo认为这项技术有广泛的应用价值。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available.(众所周知,该公司正在测试他们的技术和未来的商业模式,并努力弄清楚自动驾驶汽车如何为不同的乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的细节。目前还不清楚这项技术何时能投入使用)”可知,福特目前面临的困难是如何为不同的乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的细节,也就是自动驾驶汽车如何提供路线信息。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文尤其是第一段内容可知,本文主要介绍了福特公司联合GTB Roma和Aedo Project研发了一款智能车窗,这种智能车窗使盲人有可能感受到旅途中的风景,故D项“Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views(智能窗户让乘客感受美景)”作标题最为恰当。故选D项。
