Amazing Rafting Adventures
White water rafting is one of the classic, wild activities in the outdoors. It is also an opportunity for an unbelievable family adventure. Around the country, there are several rivers—and rafting outfitters—that are perfectly suited to the entire family.
Here are three of the best:
New River Gorge, West Virginia
Rafting in West Virginia is renowned for its established infrastructure, reliability and easy access. These things make it an obvious choice for a family vacation. Famous areas, including the New River Gorge, offer everything from lazy floats to intense Class IV runs.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole provides a full range of opportunities in the outdoors—and white water rafting is certainly one of them. Popular trips include the rough rapids of the Snake River and gentle floats in nearby Yellowstone National Park.

Grand Canyon, Arizona
For really bold families, a multi-day trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon is the penultimate adventure. Guided trips typically pack in boats-worth of supplies so the overnight adventures are far from “roughing it.” Instead, evenings are catered in a rugged luxury style, allowing everyone to rest up for the next day’s activities.
Whether looking for a casual float or a challenging adventure, white water rafting is a great option for any active family vacation.
小题1:What is the common feature of the three rafting adventures?
A.All three rafting rivers are suitable for the whole family.
B.All three rafting rivers are boring to access and reliable
C.All three rafting rivers are suitable for active families
D.All three rafting rivers offer overnight adventures
小题2:Which of the following about Grand Canyon, Arizona is NOT true?
A.A multi-day trip down the Colorado River is really challenging.
B.Really brave families will like to have a multi-day trip down the river
C.Everyone can rest for the next day’s activities.
D.People can only enjoy the rough rapids down the river
小题3:What is the author’s attitude to white water rafting?
A.PassiveB.EncouragingC.DiscouragingD.Negative

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:B

试题分析:文章介绍了三个最好的漂流活动,例举了它们的好处,旨在吸引游客。
小题1:细节题:比较三个漂流探险,三个都是适合全家游玩,B是第一个提到,CD项是第三个提到。选A
小题2:细节题:由Grand Canyon, Arizona一段可知,Grand Canyon大峡谷同时可以享受a casual float or a challenging adventure。因而D不正确。
小题3:作者态度题:由整篇文章看作者带着一种欣赏积极的态度,因而选择B。
点评:文章介绍了三个最好的漂流活动,例举了它们的好处,旨在吸引游客。广告类阅读题可以很好地考查学生提取信息、处理信息的能力,也是历年来高考考查的一个热点。广告英语文句精练,信息量大,表达方式千变万化,做这种题目先略读题目,再浏览题干,然后带着问题找答案。在阅读时又要特别注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。

55% of deaths caused by road accidents occur in the first few minutes after a crash. Up to 85% of these deaths could be prevented if first aid were given. The first person on the scene of a road accident will almost certainly be another road user. So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident.
Assess conditions
·Remain calm. Judge the scene and seriousness of the collision.
·Determine what has happened, how many people and vehicles are involved and the exact location.
·Determine how many casualties(伤亡人数) there are, what is the severity of the injuries, whether anyone is trapped, and whether there is a danger of fire.
Make safe
·Make sure you stay safe and keep off the road. If you need to stop or warn approaching cars, signal to them from the pavement. Wear reflective clothing, use warning triangles, flashing lights and warning lights. Don’t smoke.
·If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help. Use a triangle warning danger if necessary.
·Consider the safety of others. Don’t move the vehicles, look out for dangers — leaking fuel, chemicals, broken glass or dropping loads — guide uninjured passengers to a place of safety.
Call for help
Dial 999 (or 112) for the emergency services. If there is no phone nearby, send two people in opposite directions to seek help.
Do this as soon as you can or get someone else to do it while you deal with an injured person. You will need to tell the emergency services:
·where you are
·what has happened (describe the accident)
·how many people are injured
·whether they are breathing or bleeding.
The operator will talk you through what to do while you wait for an ambulance to arrive.
Apply emergency first aid
·Remain calm. Reassure the victims.
·Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties as this could hamper urgent medical treatment.
小题1:The passage mainly tells us ______.
A.how to reduce road accident deaths
B.how to perform first aid in a road accident
C.how to treat the injured people on the scene
D.how to protect us from being injured in an accident
小题2:When a driver is applying first aid, which of the following is proper?
A.Stand in the middle of the road to stop or warn approaching cars.
B.Leave the engine working when he gets out of his car to help.
C.Call 999 for an ambulance to come and leave the scene immediately.
D.Make sure the scene is safe enough and stay away from dangerous gas leaking.
小题3:What does the underlined word “hamper” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Affect.B.Improve.C.Demand.D.Judge.
小题4:The passage is most likely to appear in a newspaper’s ______ section.
A.business and financeB.sports and entertainment
C.travel and trafficD.customs and cultures
