The homestay (寄宿家庭) provides English language students with the good chance to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of an American home.

What to Expect

The host will provide places to live and meals. Rooms will be cleaned every day. And the host is there to offer help and advice on your physical and mental (精神的) health.

Living Area

Host families are mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4. Most hosts don't live in Zone 1 because much of central New York is trading center. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger houses in uncrowded areas. But it's very convenient to travel to the center of New York by subway.

Meal Plans

It's important to know that few American families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your breakfast mainly includes fruit juice, bread and coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not part of the breakfast. Dinners are usually made up of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend to visit you, you must ask your host for permission (許可) first, because some families feel uncomfortable when there are strangers at their home.

1.Which of the following will the host provide?

A. Room cleaning. B. A swimming pool. C. Free transport. D. Traveling guide.

2.We can infer (推斷) that _______ is in central New York.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：江蘇省江陰市華士片、澄東片2019屆九年級(jí)下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：多任務(wù)混合問(wèn)題

Think of the empty cities in zombie (僵尸) movies. The streets, the shops and the schools are still there just like they would be on a normal day, except there are no people to be seen. It is the emptiness that makes you scared.

Now a real-life “ghost city” is being built in the US. But luckily, it has nothing to do with zombies –it is going to be a place to test the technology of the future.

Called CITE–the Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation (創(chuàng)新測(cè)評(píng))–the city is the idea of technology company Pegasus Global Holdings. Covering an area of 15 square miles, this small, empty city sits in the middle of the New Mexico desert (沙漠), since we can't afford to test the latest technologies in the cities that we live in.

“It will be a true laboratory without safety problems that come with people living there. Here you can break things and run into things, and get used to how they work, before taking them out into the market,” Pegasus managing director Robert Brumley told technology magazine Wired.

In fact, without worrying about hurting people, anybody with a new idea can ask to test it in this city.

Just think about the possibilities – A. driverless cars can move freely on the streets, B. homes with robots can be designed, C. shared bikes can be seen everywhere and D. energy sources like nuclear (核的) power can also be put to the test.

As good as the idea may seem, however, there are still doubts about CITE. “One of the most difficult things to do when developing these new technologies is to have them safely move around people, who can suddenly jump out in front of something,” Reese Jones, a beginner of Singularity University, US, Fortune magazine.

Jones is worried that, even if a technology does perfectly well in CITE, introducing it to a real city will still be a whole different story because there will be people living in the city.

But no matter what, perhaps we should wait until CITE is finished in 2019. Maybe it will turn out to work just fine.

1.Why do people need an empty place to build CITE?

A. Because the test will do well with the help of CITE.

B. Because the test will cause danger in our daily lives.

C. Because they can experience the new future technology.

D. Because they can help people get used to the technology.

2.What can we learn from the article?

A. Anyone can ask to try out their new designs in CITE.

B. Things in CITE can easily be broken down and built again.

C. Testing all new technologies in a real city will cause problems.

D. People can suddenly jump out in front of some new technologies.

3.In the fifth paragraph, there’re four examples marked A, B, C and D. Please choose the one which shouldn’t be there.

4.What is the main purpose of this article?

A. To offer a way to develop future technologies.

B. To explain CITE and the problems to deal with.

C. To show that CITE has got a bright future ahead.

D. To explain why CITE is very helpful to technologies.
