1. B细节理解题。根据第三段中的they all mved int a three-strey Victrian huse in Bristl和but Rita Whitehead has her wn kitchen, bathrm, bedrm and living rm n the grund flr可知，丽塔居住在一楼，因此主要使用一楼的应是丽塔，故选B项。
【微技能】如何收集细节信息
做英语阅读的细节理解题时，常用方法如下：
（1）顺序原则
一般来说隐含题目答案的位置与题目的顺序是一致的，这能帮助我们缩小寻找范围，大大提高效率。我们做题可采用步步为营法，看一题做一题。
（2）利用定位词
定位词和主题句是英语阅读理解解题方法最重要的两个要素，前者适用于解答细节理解题，后者适用于解答主旨大意题。通过定位词解题，就是说我们在阅读题干的时候迅速把题干中有标记意义的词或词组标记出来，然后用这个词回到文中定位。
什么词才算是定位词呢？我们首先要关注的是表示人名、地名等的专有名词和表示年份、数字、百分数的数词，以及题干中出现的大写的名词。如果题干中没有以上词类，我们则需要留意一些表示实体意义或指代一件具体事物的具象名词。比如本题即可根据题干中的the grund flr in the Victrian huse in Bristl定位至文章第三段查找相关信息。
2. A推理判断题。根据第五段中尼克所说的it all seems t wrk very well和Wuld I recmmend it? Yes, I think i wuld. 可推知，尼克对于与岳母一起居住是支持并且推荐的，故选A项。carefree意为“无忧无虑的”；tlerant意为“容忍的”；unwilling意为“不愿意的；不乐意的”。
3. C推理判断题。根据第六段和第七段列出的各项数据可推知，作者关于几代人共同居住的相关陈述是以公开发表的数据为依据的。故选C项。
4. D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文开篇用具体事例引出主题，之后提出本文主旨 ne f a grwing number f multigeneratinal families in the UK living tgether under the same rf，即越来越多的英国人选择几代人共同居住的生活方式，随后用数据作为支撑，具体说明这一现象。由此可知，本文主要介绍的是英国一种越来越普遍的生活趋势。故选D项。
