In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van(房車) and travel all over the country. 【1】_______________

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 【2】 _______________ I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

【3】_______________ There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 【4】_______________ You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

【5】_______________ Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well.

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了house sitting的含義，house sitting的優(yōu)點(diǎn)、如何找到house sitting的機(jī)會(huì)，以及為了house sitting你需要準(zhǔn)備些什么。

【1】B考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句：人們退休后，他們可能會(huì)購買一輛面包車（房車）去全國各地旅行。因此可知在空格上表達(dá)的意思是：成千上萬的人所有的時(shí)間都在做這件事。故選B

【2】A考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句：我覺得這是一個(gè)偉大的方式，看看這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槟阍谝粋�(gè)新的城市，去認(rèn)識(shí)新的人，有時(shí)間可以去一個(gè)新的地區(qū)觀光。因此可知在空格上填是：我已經(jīng)做了很多次的house sitting。故選A

【3】D考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句：你在很多網(wǎng)站上可以找到那些想去旅行的人發(fā)的廣告，你可以回復(fù)廣告，然后你會(huì)被安排去照顧他們的家。因此可知在空格上填是：一般來說，你有很多機(jī)會(huì)找到代為看房子的工作。故選D

【4】G考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句：當(dāng)房子的主人想要你走的時(shí)候，你一定要走，所以你需要大量的空閑時(shí)間。因此可知在空格上填是：你必須有一輛好車，你才可以到不同的地方旅行。故選G。

【5】C考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句：然后你可以去很多不同的國家，因此可知在空格上填是：也有可能在其他國家代看房子。故選C。

【名師點(diǎn)撥】

高考七選五解題方法

1.通讀全文，了解文章大意。這是一個(gè)泛讀的過程，目的是了解文章大意，為以后的理解做鋪墊。

2.分析句型，了解語法構(gòu)成

3.當(dāng)我們了解了文章大意后，要明確每一個(gè)空是填一個(gè)整句子還是半個(gè)句子。這一點(diǎn)十分重要，它能夠幫助我們迅速確定某些空的選項(xiàng)范圍，比如，有一個(gè)空的結(jié)尾處沒有標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)，后文緊跟著一個(gè)句子的后半部分，很顯然這時(shí)我們需要填的是半個(gè)句子，這時(shí)便可以在七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中找到是半個(gè)句子的選項(xiàng)，從而縮小選擇范圍。比如40小題，根據(jù)上一句：然后你可以去很多不同的國家，因此可知在空格上填是：也有可能在其他國家代看房子。故選C。

4.明確關(guān)聯(lián)關(guān)系。任何句子都是要么和上文有聯(lián)系，要么和下文有聯(lián)系，要么和上下文都有聯(lián)系。比如38小題，據(jù)下一句：你在很多網(wǎng)站上可以找到那些想去旅行的人發(fā)的廣告，你可以回復(fù)廣告，然后你會(huì)被安排去照顧他們的家。因此可知在空格上填是：一般來說，你有很多機(jī)會(huì)找到代為看房子的工作。故選D

5.帶入通讀，復(fù)查

做完題目切忌直接離開，這是我們很有必要將自己修正好的文章通讀一遍，將其看做一片行文通順語意連貫的文章來讀，這是如果感到有含義不連貫的地方，很有可能是我們填錯(cuò)了空，就要復(fù)查了，注意：七選五的特點(diǎn)在于，錯(cuò)一道，往往還會(huì)錯(cuò)另外的一道或幾道，我們叫做"連錯(cuò)"，所以當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有一處填的有問題時(shí)，一定要同時(shí)檢查其他空。

Dear editor，

I'm sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for following reasons.

First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention.

Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

Yours truly’

Wang Lin

【題目】In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.

Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.

“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.

Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.

Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.

A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.

B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.

C. If money runs out, there will be no water.

D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.

【2】The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means______.

A. perfection B. advantage C. pity D. fault

【3】Since the new system has performed, ______ of water can be saved.

A. a quarter B. one third C. one half D. two thirds

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. the new operation can solve the water crisis.

B. The new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness.

C. a similar operation has been set in other universities.

D. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.

【】In which column can you find this passage?

A. People. B. Society

C. Campus Life. D. Lifestyle.
