What makes a house a home? Not size of course. I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it’s readily apparent that no one lives there. Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’ bed — a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.

Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released HOME: The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”

Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about.

We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. The loose windows make noises in the wind. The fireplace is so shallow that it holds only one log. The kitchen window offers a view of the world passing by. It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.

While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”

Happy homecoming!

【試題分析】本文為議論文。主要探討了“home”的真正內(nèi)涵，家不在于house的大小，也不在于房子的新舊，而在于它承載著溫暖、舒適，承載著美好的回憶，承載著夢想，承載著親情。

38.【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句“What makes a house a home? Not size of course”以及最后一段“While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, ‘Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.’”可知，全文主要探討“home”的真正內(nèi)涵，家不在于house的大小，也不在于房子的新舊，而在于它承載著溫暖、舒適，承載著美好的回憶，承載著夢想，承載著親情。故選B。

39.【答案】A

【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, ‘Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”可知，雖然所有關(guān)于童年回憶的談話，都是溫暖和安慰的，但家是和你在一起的人，而不是你在哪里。家最重要的是你感受到的氛圍。故選A。

40.【答案】C

【解析】推理判斷題。本題可以采用排除法。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released HOME: The Blueprints of Our Lives”可知，John Edwards 在HOME: The Blueprints of Our Lives一書中解釋了家的定義，因此它能夠幫助我們更好地理解什么是家。由此可知，作者和Edwards持有類似的觀點。A項文中無相關(guān)信息，故排除;B項文中并未提及，且過于絕對化，排除;D項文中并未提及，也排除。故選C。
