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.
小題1:What is the common feature of the three rafting adventures?

小題3:What is the author’s attitude to white water rafting?

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B

試題分析：文章介紹了三個最好的漂流活動，例舉了它們的好處，旨在吸引游客。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題：比較三個漂流探險，三個都是適合全家游玩，B是第一個提到，CD項是第三個提到。選A
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)題：由Grand Canyon, Arizona一段可知，Grand Canyon大峽谷同時可以享受a casual float or a challenging adventure。因而D不正確。
小題3:作者態(tài)度題：由整篇文章看作者帶著一種欣賞積極的態(tài)度，因而選擇B。
點評：文章介紹了三個最好的漂流活動，例舉了它們的好處，旨在吸引游客。廣告類閱讀題可以很好地考查學(xué)生提取信息、處理信息的能力，也是歷年來高考考查的一個熱點。廣告英語文句精練，信息量大，表達(dá)方式千變?nèi)f化，做這種題目先略讀題目，再瀏覽題干，然后帶著問題找答案。在閱讀時又要特別注意文中以黑體、大寫、下劃線等方式加以提示的文字，因為這很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分內(nèi)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(傷亡人數(shù)) 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.
小題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
小題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.
小題3:What does the underlined word “hamper” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Affect.B．Improve.C．Demand.D．Judge.
小題4:The passage is most likely to appear in a newspaper’s ______ section.
A．business and financeB．sports and entertainment
