11．"How are things back at the office？"one of the gentlemen in my bicycle tour group asked me as we were nearing the end of another lengthy ride through Croatia's scenic countryside．
"I assume they are going fine，"I said．"I haven't had any contact and I don't plan to．"
"Your phone isn't on？"he asked，incredulously．"You haven't checked your email？"
"Your phone is off and no，I'm not planning on checking email，"I said．
"My phone is off and no，I'm not planning on checking email，"I said．
My wife Heidi and I took my children，Daniel and Rachel，on a two-week trip to Croatia，one of the most beautiful countries in the world．We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids．
Why would I destroy the environment we had traveled thousands of miles to create by bringing my work environment into it？That would be counter-productive to everything I wanted out of this trip．If I worked during this experience，I would be taking time away from my family and sending them the message that work takes priority over them．
In addition to sharing this incredible experience，I wanted to take us all out of the activity-driven world we live in．If I had my cell phone on and was constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with office，I would just bring that hyper-connected environment into the peaceful，meaningful world I was trying to create．
In addition to creating life-long memories with my family，another wonderful thing happened as a result of this bike trip．As we were returning home，I was flooded with new ideas．I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I want to incorporate into my business．
Taking time off restored and rejuvenated me and allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface．How can you accomplish that goal if you simply move the source of that stress to a different location？
24．From the conversation at the beginning of the text，we can infer thatC．
A．the author had no access to the Internet during the our
B．the gentleman was quite concerned about the author's work
C．the author's phone was off because he didn't want to be disturbed
D．the speakers both experienced an unpleasant bicycle tour in Croatia
25．One of the purposes of the author's Croatia's bicycle tour isA．
A．to spend some time creating closer ties with his family
B．to experience a primitive life without phone calls
C．to tell his family that his work is more important for him
D．to escape from his boring work environment in the office
26．What would the author probably do after retuning home from their bike trip？C
A．He would be busy with all his office work again
B．He would be caught in a big flood of new businesses．
C．He would have many new fresh ideas for his business．
D．He would make up his missing blog posts during the journey．
27．The underlined word"rejuvenate"in the last paragraph means"D"
A．get one exhausted      
B．drive one mad
C．cause one to lost temper    
D．make one more energetic．

分析 本文作者通過解釋自己在與家人一起旅行時(shí)，關(guān)閉了手機(jī)，也不再查看電子郵件等做法的原因與目的，主要說明了這樣一個(gè)道理：只有花一些時(shí)間使自己得到充分的放松，以恢復(fù)精力和元?dú)猓拍苁沟靡粋�(gè)人的創(chuàng)新精神顯露出來．

解答 答案：
24．C    細(xì)節(jié)推理題    通過開頭的對(duì)話可知，作者出來旅行時(shí)關(guān)閉了手機(jī)，也沒有查看過自己的電子郵件；并且根據(jù)第五段中的"We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids．（我們選擇花些錢來享受這段美妙的旅行經(jīng)歷，這樣我們夫妻還有孩子們就可以共度一段時(shí)間）"可推測出作者這樣做的原因是：就是為了能夠和妻子以及孩子們一起充分享受旅行的快樂而不被打擾；故選C．
25．A   內(nèi)容歸納題  根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"…creating life-long memories with my family"（和我的家人一起創(chuàng)造一段終生難忘的回憶）可知，此處講述的是作者與家人一起參加此次自行車騎行的目的；故選A．
26．C   細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"As we were returning home，I was flooded with new ideas．I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I want to incorporate into my business．（當(dāng)我們回到家后，我被注入了一些新的想法．我想到了9篇博客的創(chuàng)意還有一些我想要用到我的事業(yè)中去的想法．）"可知，在作者經(jīng)歷了這次旅游，回到家后，他獲得了許多新的想法，并會(huì)將其用到自己的事業(yè)中去；故選C．
27．D   詞義猜測題   根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"I was flooded with new ideas．I came up with concepts…I want to incorporate into my business"講到了作者回到家后的想法與感受，可推測出此處的意思應(yīng)是：花一些時(shí)間去恢復(fù)精力和元?dú)猓屛业膭?chuàng)新精神顯露出來；故"rejuvenate"的意思應(yīng)是：使某人恢復(fù)精力或使某人的精力更充沛；故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí)，首先要通讀全文，把握文章的大體內(nèi)容，縷清作者的寫作思路及其寫作意圖；然后，結(jié)合下面的問題，通過細(xì)節(jié)閱讀進(jìn)行概括推理或直接找到答案．

3．Apes and humans beings share a lot in common when it comes to behavior．The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of （51）D by individuals．
One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the （52）B of external objects．The argument over the ownership of any desired object---food，clothes，toys，females，and the affection of others---was sufficient reason to （53）A force．In a case of monkeys'disagreement over females．thirty females were killed．Two points are of particular interest to notice about these fights for possession．
In the first place，the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the （54）C destruction of the objects of common desire．Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed．
In the second place it is observable，that （55）A occurs when an object is desired by only one person or by someone else．There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were （56）B defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child's desire．
Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes are greatly to （57）D the invading of a stranger into their group．A new child in the class may be laughed at，isolated，and disliked．A new monkey may be bitten to death．It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger comes from the （58）A species．Monkeys do not mind being （59）C by a goat or a rat．Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group．As a matter of fact，such newcomers are often （60）D．But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child，aggression often occurs．This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness．The（61）C of the newcomers is feared．The present members of the group feel that there will be more competitors for the food or the attention of the adults．
Finally，another common source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own （62）B．A child will be stopped either by （63）A causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do，for example，sail his boat or ride the bicycle．Sometimes the activity may be （64）D because of the opposition of some adult．The child may also frustrate itself by （65）B，through lack of skill or strength，to complete successfully some desired activity．Such a child will then in the ordinary sense become"naughty"．He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper．

51．A．fulfillmentB．excitementC．isolationD．a(chǎn)ggressiveness
52．A．usageB．possessionC．valueD．collection
53．A．turn toB．drive awayC．come overD．make into

8．A．When did you realize you wanted to be a singer？
B．What do you think of the TV shows you did while in America？
C．What does your new single"Chasing pavements"actually mean？
D．What unique ways do you employ to write these"sad love songs"？
E．Has winning the award added to the pressure you are experiencing？
F．You studied at the Brit School．Why do you think if S produced so many stars in recent years？
61．B
Yeah，I did"Letterman"and"The Today Show"．I have no idea what they were equal to because obviously we don't have them here．I like the two shows which are like"Imagine GMTV"but on a much bigger scale．It was live and there were about 50 million people watching，so I literally express myself!"Letterman"was pre-recorded so I wasn't quite nervous，but I forgot that during my performance．I got halfway through the song and couldn't remember whether it was live or not．
62．A
Obviously when I was little，but mainly from when I was 16 onwards．I first remember singing when I was really little，probably when I was about six．I did a Spice Girls tribute in my room for my family．And then I went to study at the Brit School，the performing arts school in Croydon．To be honest，I really enjoyed my time there，where I did actual lessons，but they didn't force anything onto you．They just aimed to help you develop．They nurtured you，you know．
63．F
I was thinking about this the other day，because，before this year，the Brit School didn't actually produce anyone．All this money was being pumped into it，and nobody was coming out of it and doing well，so I think they were getting a bit worried．I think the Brit School's produced loads of great people that nobody knows yet，but off the back of Amy Winehouse，who earned six nominations，including Best New Artist，Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit"Rehab"and Album of the Year for"Back to Black"，it's been getting more support．Suddenly all these great girls came forward in this great outburst of talent--I think ifs just luck and timing，to be honest．．
64．D
In the past years I've tried to sit down and think"Right，this is what Fm going to write about"，but I can't because you can't force it．AU my songs are a bit sad and full of drama because when Fm happy I haven't got time to write songs，you know．When I've had my heart broken，I end up feeling sorry for myself and writing songs．"Therefore，there wasn't really a specific process to it．I just sort of happen to sit and wait patiently until I'm ready to write the record．I can't really plan it very well．If I try to plan，it never works out well．
65．C
It doesn't really make sense，does it？"Chasing Pavements"is about chasing a boy-even if you know something's going to go wrong，you really want it to go right，so you just don't give up．I can't write other people's drama，and I can't glamorize a microwave or anything like that，so I end up writing songs about things I've experienced．Then，I got a whole album's worth of songs out of them!
