第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

What makes a house a home?

Not size，of course. I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear 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 (发行)Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses；it's a book about homes. About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped. ”Edwards writes，“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. It's home now. The loose windows that shake in the wind. The fireplace so shallow-- it holds only one log. The kitchen window that 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.

46．According to the author，what makes a house a home?

A．it helps us understand the concept(概念)of home

B．it is mainly about houses

C．it was the description of Edwards' houses

D．it was written by the author of the text

48．What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?

A．His house was too old to live in.

B．He missed the feeling of home.

C．He hated living there.

D．He missed his old friends too much.
