【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 reign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had bee. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way. The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this bigpicture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly. When I39。m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don39。t seem that pressing. It goes that, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?

We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for. For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (預(yù)算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使參與) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone. Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There39。s no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.（1）Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young? milk the cow. meet the farmer and his family. experience country life. enjoy the scenery.（2）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? author encouraged his customers to save their money for family vacation. author met new people and new things during the trip. trip helped the author understand the meaning of vacations better. author involved his kids in planning the vacation to cut their budget.（3）What is this passage mainly about? author had a good time in the countryside. author advised others to spend vacations with their families. author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family. author realized the value of family vacations and put it into practice.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者由小時候的一次和父母去農(nóng)村體驗生活意識到度假的價值——認(rèn)識新事物，結(jié)識新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經(jīng)歷。這讓作者在后來給自己的家庭計劃假期的時候，也讓家人們參與其中，這樣確保每個人都有一個美好的假期。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life.”當(dāng)我還是個男孩的時候，我的父母和我從紐約到賓夕法尼亞的鄉(xiāng)村旅行了一周，體驗鄉(xiāng)村生活?？芍?，作者小時候和他的父母去農(nóng)村是為了體驗鄉(xiāng)村生活。故選C。 （2）考查
