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!

【试题分析】本文为议论文。主要探讨了“home”的真正内涵，家不在于house的大小，也不在于房子的新旧，而在于它承载着温暖、舒适，承载着美好的回忆，承载着梦想，承载着亲情。

38.【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“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，全文主要探讨“home”的真正内涵，家不在于house的大小，也不在于房子的新旧，而在于它承载着温暖、舒适，承载着美好的回忆，承载着梦想，承载着亲情。故选B。

39.【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“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，虽然所有关于童年回忆的谈话，都是温暖和安慰的，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围。故选A。

40.【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。本题可以采用排除法。根据文章第二段第一句“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一书中解释了家的定义，因此它能够帮助我们更好地理解什么是家。由此可知，作者和Edwards持有类似的观点。A项文中无相关信息，故排除;B项文中并未提及，且过于绝对化，排除;D项文中并未提及，也排除。故选C。
