Question

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.

解析試題分析：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】細節題。根據文章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。可知，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。根據文章可知，作者最終發現自己想在這里多呆一些日子。故選A
【小題3】細節題。根據文章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
