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村體驗生活意識到度假的價值——認識新事物，結識新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經歷。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）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“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村是為了體驗鄉(xiāng)村生活。故選C。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據倒數第二段中的“Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too.”讓孩子們參與計劃假期，確保他們也有一個美好的假期?？芍?，作者讓孩子參與假期計劃是為了確保孩子有一個美好的假期，并不是為了節(jié)省預算。故D選項錯誤。選D。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據第二段中的“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，我仍然對那次旅行記憶猶新，那次旅行讓我意識到度假的價值，認識新事物，結識新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經歷。以及下文中作者將那次對家庭度假的價值的認知，付諸實踐到自己的家庭生活中。故D選項“作者認識到家庭度假的價值，并將其付諸實踐。”最符合文章中心。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Let us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence.
