26、felt like I was at home和下文的feel like this可知,在异国他乡能找到家的感觉确实“幸运(lucky)”。3D如果在某个地方“不一定(not necessarily)”就是家能找到家的感觉,那真是幸运。4C根据上文的nice,felt like,feel like可知,作者认识到家就是“心灵(heart)”的归属地。5A根据上文的A lot of people get homesick及常识可知,思乡是一种“正常的(normal)”情感。6C根据上文的homesick可知,一个人远离自己“所爱的(loved)”人和家中的舒适,当然会泛起乡愁。7A下文提到的在异
27、乡也能找到家的感觉与上文意义上发生了转折,故选However。8D9A根据上文的you can feel at home可知,此处意思是,如果在一个地方能与“关爱(care for)”自己的人在一起、觉得比较“舒服(comfortable)”,那自然能找到家的感觉。10B11B根据这两个空所在句中的embracing every moment, enjoying和you can feel settled in a short amount of time可知,如果能珍惜每个瞬间、“交(making)”些朋友、享受新的“文化(culture)”,那很快就能融入当地的生活。12C根据下文的host
28、 family可知,“我”与寄宿家庭“生活(living)”在一起。13D根据下文的helped to ease the process of feeling happy and settled可知,寄宿家庭的成员都很“友好(friendly)”。14B根据上文的see how the children grow up可知,能“亲历(experience)”这一过程,作者感到很幸福。15C上文的host family是提示。16D17A因为是第二次来西班牙,所以作者这次“安定(settling in)”下来要比上次更容易些,因为他已经“熟悉(accustomed to)”了当地的文化。18C根
29、据本空所在句中的moving away from home和different in comparison to what you call home可知,背井离乡自然需要“适应(adapt to)”异地不同于家乡的很多方面。19C20B根据However可知,前后表示转折。作者认为虽然需要适应很多新事物,但是这恰巧就是旅游、探索、“发现(discovering)”自我的“乐趣(delight)”所在。四、单句改错1Cross the road very carefully.
