Their parents told them they could choose between Massachusetts and Arizona for their vacation this summer. Emily has always wanted to visit Boston, the capital of Massachusetts. Zach and she both agree that walking along the Freedom Trail would enable them to see Boston’s most famous places of historic interest, like the site of the school Ben Franklin attended and the Old State House. If Emily and Zach went to Massachusetts, they could spend a few days at the beaches on Cape Cod. Emily loves body boarding, and Zach is great at body surfing. They both enjoy building sandcastles with their mom and dad. Zach finds learning about Native Americans wonderful and has always wanted to travel along the Apache Trail in mountain highway passes Native American ruins in Tonto National Forest. Emily is not as interested in traveling along this trail as Zach, but they both would like to visit Phoenix, the capital, and then travel to Grand Canyon National Park and Meteor Crater (隕石坑 ). Zach learned in science class that Meteor Crater is a hole over 4， 000 feet wide and 520 feet deep that was created when a huge object from space fell to Earth. The object went so deep that it has never been found. Zach would really like to try to discover it. But Emily thinks if experienced scientists and researchers cannot find it, Zach might as well not even bother (費(fèi)工夫 ) to try. The only drawback for Zach and Emily if they choose Arizona would be the heat. It is very hot and dry in this southwestern state. Massachusetts, on the other hand, is in the northeastern United States. Here Zach and Emily and their parents could enjoy mild (溫和的 ) temperatures. Their parents love hot weather, but Zach and Emily do not really like to sweat. How will they ever decide to which state they should travel? If only they could take two trips! 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 本文是一篇記敘文。文 章描述了艾米麗和查克的一次艱難選擇。 1． Emily and Zach will spend their summer vacation________． A． visiting their parents B． learning how to swim C． doing some sightseeing D． living with Native Americans C 解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段艾米麗和查克的父母讓他們挑選暑假要去的地方和最后一段的 to which state they should travel可知 ， 艾米麗和查克暑假應(yīng)該是去旅游。 2． Compared to Emily, Zach is more interested in________． A． design B． sports C． beaches D． history D 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的 Zach finds learning about Native Americans wonderful...This mountain highway passes Native American ruins...Emily is not as interested in traveling along this trail as Zach 可知 ， 相對(duì)于艾 米麗 ，查克對(duì)美國(guó)土著人的歷史更感興趣。 3． The underlined word “ drawback” in Paragraph 4 means“ ________” ． A． value B． reason C． interest D． disadvantage D 解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的 Zach and Emily do not really like to sweat可 知 ，炙熱的天氣是艾米麗和查克選擇亞利桑那州的唯一不利因素。 4． What would be the best title for the text?
