writing第三部分：閱讀理解（共10小題，每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分20分） aa reader from brazil recently wrote to us asking for some advice. hes planning a trip to the united states, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in america. today, we are going to give you some information which may help you when choosing your destination. each of the 50 states in america has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. washington, d.c. is famous for its historical places, like the white house and the lincoln memorial. visitors to los angeles, california can see the hollywood walk of fame or shop the stores on rodeo drive where they may see a star or two. the grand canyon in arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers, as does yellowstone national park in wyoming. tripadvisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. every year, tripadvisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visit in the united states. the results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website. brooke ferencsik of tripadvisor said the top picks on the list were not surprising. and its no secret why new york city was named the number one destination. new york city is sometimes called “the city that never sleeps” because it can be very busy. it is an exciting place for many people because there is so much to do. but the city might be too busy for travelers looking for rest and calm. they might want something more like myrtle beach, in the state of south carolina, which made it to number 21 on trip advisors list. “a lot of people come to myrtle beach for great weather, its a wonderful family vacation spot, the beaches - got the wonderful atlantic beaches there - theres a lot of family-friendly parks and water parks.” many people take time off from their jobs in the summer to travel. because there are many tourists visiting other places, june until august is known as “high season.” traveling during the high season can be crowded. hotels, restaurants, and transportation might also be very expensive. if you want to save money on a trip, it is a good idea to plan to leave before or after the summer months. these times are known as “shoulder seasons” for travel. “if youre looking for value, try and think about traveling through the shoulder season if its possible - the shoulder season being the fall or the spring. the weather is still very good in some of these destinations, and you can get better prices.” americas major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. ferencsik says this is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists. “they do a great job of giving travelers what they want when theyre on vacation. i think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need. so whether youre traveling alone, youre traveling for business, youre traveling with your family - whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to delivering amazing experiences and just a lot of different opportunities when youre there.”【小題1】lily has great interest in nature and american history. she can visit_.a. the grand canyon and rodeo driveb. california and los angelesc. white house and arizonad.

list of the top 100 high schools shows that today those with fewer students are rising. ten years ago, when the first newsweek top school list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. this year there are 22. fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern high schools outside the cities with thousands of students. big schools meant economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and better football teams. but only years later did we understand that it involved the difficulty of strengthening personal connections between teachers and students. sat scores began dropping; on average, 30% of students did not complete high school in four years, a figure that rose to 50% in poor city neighborhoods. high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress. size isnt everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable trend toward smaller schools. this has been partly due to the bill and melinda gates foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in american high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools most of them with about 400 kids, each with an average enrollment of only 150 students per grade. about 500 more are on the drawing board. districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like new york, chicago and san diego. and most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred. hillsdale high school in san mateo, california, is one of those ranking no.423 among the top 2% in the country. in 2003, hillsdale remade itself into three “houses”. 300 students arriving ninth graders are randomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad saturday-night dates. the advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents. along with the new structure came the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.”it was rough for some. but by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says jeff gilbert. “our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.” but not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution. ranking schools is always controversial. over the years this system has been criticized for its simplicity list of top u.s. high schools was made merely according to the proportion of students taking college-level exams. this year a group of 38 superintendents (地區(qū)教育主管) from five states wrote to ask that their schools should be excluded from the calculation. “it is impossible to know which high schools are the best in the nation,” their letter read. “determining whether different schools do or dont offer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students overall academic accomplishments, their later performance in college, and taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”【小題1】what can we learn about the schools sponsored by the bill and melinda gates foundation? athey are often located in poor neighborhoods. bthey are popular with high-achieving students. cthey are mostly small in size. danot
