文章大意：凱特和吉姆喜歡旅行生活，他們居住在一輛卡車?yán)铩５�女兒長大了，需要去上學(xué)。凱特想回到城市，但吉姆仍希望繼續(xù)這種旅游式的生活，對此，他們該怎樣抉擇呢？

【1】題干詢問凱特和吉姆住在哪里，根據(jù)“Kate and Jim are wife and husband. Like many New Age Travellers, they don't live in a house, but in a truck.”可知，凱特和吉姆不是住在房子里，而是住在卡車?yán)�。故答案�?/span>They lived in a truck。

【2】題干詢問“吉姆想改變他的生活回到城市嗎？” 根據(jù)文中句子“and Kate wants to change their life and come back to the city. But Jim likes the travelling life. He thinks they should live on the road.”可知，吉姆并不想改變這種生活方式。故答案為No, he doesn't。

【3】題干的句意為“凱特厭倦了他們的旅行生活”。根據(jù)最后一段中的句子“Yes，I like this kind of life better than city life.”可知，凱特也喜歡這種旅行生活的方式。與原文的內(nèi)容不相符，故答案為F。

【4】題干的句意為“旅行的生活對露西不太好”。根據(jù)最后一段中的句子“It is so cold that Lucy gets ill every winter. The most important thing，I think, is that Lucy needs a good education(教育) and she should have her own friends and a usual life like other kids.”露西每個冬天都生病。我認(rèn)為最重要的是露西需要良好的教育，她應(yīng)該有自己的朋友和像其他孩子一樣過著平常的生活。由此可知，這種漂泊在外的旅行生活方式對露西來說并不好，與原文的內(nèi)容相符。故答案為T。

【5】this kind of life這種生活方式，city life城市生活，本句是一個比較級的句子，拿旅行生活與城市生活相比較，凱特更喜歡目前的這種生活方式。故答案為：是的，比起城市的生活我更喜歡這種生活。
