【1】D寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第一段句子Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English---可知D正確，這篇文章是寫給申請入住英國家庭的英語學(xué)習(xí)者的。

【2】A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week所以A正確，主人將提供干凈的房間。

【3】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段句子Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. 可知，Zone 1是市中心，最繁忙。依次向外類推所以Zone 2 要比Zone 4 擁擠，答案A錯誤。Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).可知，市中心是商業(yè)中心，不住人。所以推斷答案B、商業(yè)中心在Zone 1正確。
