When my wife left this world, I chose to travel in Antigua looking for a peaceful place to rest my old body. Not quite old and weak, I felt I wanted something more than the usual hotel room with 24-hour room service.
I decided this year to try something completely new and booked myself a private holiday home in Antigua. This was the best decision I had ever made, as there was plenty to do, plenty to see and lots of lovely restaurants to visit. There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.
Antigua has to be one of the loveliest places on earth to spend a holiday. The bright blue sea and the endless blue around the beach areas proved to be an excellent place for me to spend the long afternoons.
I had to hurry to do what I wanted to do before the holiday came to an end. I managed to visit the Sugar Mill and Shirley Heights on my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days.
I rented a boat and came home after a day’s sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner. Everything is so pleasant on these beautiful islands, swept by the trade winds and warmed by the sun for so many summer months. The food just tasted better to me, perhaps because I was having such a great holiday. There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most.
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about the private holiday home the writer stayed in?
A．It had a private swimming pool.
B．There were lots of restaurants near it.
C．The writer often had breakfast in its yard.
D．It supplied delicious seafood to the writer.
小題2:The word “extend” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A．make something last longer
B．make you feel happy
C．prevent from entering
D．sell goods to foreign countries
小題3:The most important reason for the writer to travel in Antigua was ______.
A．there was bright blue sea
B．there was endless blue sky
C．there were lots of lovely restaurants
D．there were many people to drink with
小題4:The passage is most likely to be taken from a part of ______.
A．a(chǎn) tour guideB．a(chǎn) travel diary
C．a(chǎn) student’s reportD．a(chǎn) health report

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:B

試題分析：這篇文章講述的是作者的妻子死后，作者決定在安提瓜島旅行，尋找一個安靜的地方放松一下自己的身體，那個地方是屬于他自己的私人度假屋，里面有私人游泳池，涼爽寬闊的院子，可以坐在那兒吃早餐。
小題1:細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.這個私人度假屋里有一個私人的游泳池，一個涼爽、寬闊的院子，作者大部分的早上都在這吃早餐�？芍�，文章并沒有提到這里也提供可口的海鮮。故選D
小題2:推斷題。根據(jù)文章可知，作者最終發(fā)現(xiàn)自己想在這里多呆一些日子。故選A
小題3:細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most.這里總有人和我一起飲酒——這是作者喜歡這里最主要的原因。故選D
小題4:推斷題。這篇文章講述的是度假的事情，所以本文最有可能來自于一個旅行日記。故選B
點評：文章講述了作者的一次經(jīng)歷，從全文來看重在理解作者在旅游過程中的細節(jié)描寫，對于此類細節(jié)題在題目中找到關(guān)鍵詞再在文章中找到相對應(yīng)的地方將對應(yīng)的每句話要仔細讀懂，對于推斷題要仔細分析作者的寫作目的，結(jié)合四個選項利用排除法進行作答。
