【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ank 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(shí)候的一次和父母去農(nóng)村體驗(yàn)生活意識(shí)到度假的價(jià)值——認(rèn)識(shí)新事物，結(jié)識(shí)新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經(jīng)歷。這讓作者在后來(lái)給自己的家庭計(jì)劃假期的時(shí)候，也讓家人們參與其中，這樣確保每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)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(gè)男孩的時(shí)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(yàn)鄉(xiāng)村生活?？芍?，作者小時(shí)候和他的父母去農(nóng)村是為了體驗(yàn)鄉(xiāng)村生活。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too.”讓孩子們參與計(jì)劃假期，確保他們也有一個(gè)美好的假期?？芍?，作者讓孩子參與假期計(jì)劃是為了確保孩子有一個(gè)美好的假期，并不是為了節(jié)省預(yù)算。故D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。選D。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“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.”幾十年后，我仍然對(duì)那次旅行記憶猶新，那次旅行讓我意識(shí)到度假的價(jià)值，認(rèn)識(shí)新事物，結(jié)識(shí)新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經(jīng)歷。以及下文中作者將那次對(duì)家庭度假的價(jià)值的認(rèn)知，付諸實(shí)踐到自己的家庭生活中。故D選項(xiàng)“作者認(rèn)識(shí)到家庭度假的價(jià)值，并將其付諸實(shí)踐。”最符合文章中心。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: And they lived happily ever after. As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to live happily ever after. Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn39。t always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn39。t fort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question. It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it one day at a time. Happiness you see isn39。t some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn39。t something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day. The truth is happiness es when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to live happily ever after, one day at a time.（1）What is the author39。s wish to his daughter?
