Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．B;4．D;
解析：

(1)	文章開頭就提出“what is an ideal(理想)holiday for one person may be a very unpleasant one for another”的問題，第二段說“If I were allowed to choose my own holiday…”，最后一段又提到“Whenever I think of my ideal holiday,…”。
(2)	文章第二段先后提到了在船上swimming, dancing和reading，第三段則有這么一句“we can talk, play games, swim, drink, sing and dance with our new friends”，但沒有提到cooking和fishing。
(3)	“Freed from all the duties of life at home”就是能夠與陌生人愉快地聊天的原因。
(4)	文章的最后一段的第一句說“the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new ports in strange lands(就是arriving in strange places),and going ashore for a few hours to see strange places,eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us(也即having new and exciting experiences)”，由此可知答案為D項。
