科目：高中英語 來源：湖北省2016-2017學年高二5月階段檢測英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

“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?”

“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?

1.From the conversation at the beginning of the text, we can infer that .

A. the author had no access to the Internet during the tour

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

2.One of the purposes of the author’s Croatia’s bicycle tour is .

A. to experience a primitive life without phone calls

B. to spend some time creating closer ties with his family

C. to tell his family that his work is more important for him

D. to escape from his boring work environment in the office

3.The underlined word “rejuvenate” in the last paragraph means “ ”.

A. drive one mad B. make one more energetic

C. get one exhausted D. cause one to lost temper

4.Which of the following may the author agree?

A. Playing delights us more than working.

B. Working is the foundation of happiness.

C. Cellphones and emails are helpful when we take a trip.

D. When working, work hard; when playing, play crazily.

Plan on traveling around the USA this summer? If you need help in arranging the trip, or want ideas about where to go and what to do, there are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true

http://byways.org

The National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes, such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history (such as Route 6) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you are provided with a map, told the route’s length and how long is allowed, and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs.

www.oyster.com

This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts. The reviews are impressively thorough, covering locations, rooms, cleanliness, food and so on. Importantly, these are not promotional photos by the hotels, but more honest and real ones taken by inspectors. Search facilities are excellent from the 243 hotels reviewed in the New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.

www.101 usaholidays.co.uk

www.mousesavers.com

Walt Disney World in California can make dreams come true, but the price is not affordable for the majority of people.
