Plan on traveling around the USA？There are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.
http：//www.101 https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,.
This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to the USA.It’s a diverse selection，ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California’s Napa Valley.Narrow down what you’re looking for—whether by price，region，theme and who will be traveling—and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view.It’s a really clever design.
http：//https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,
The National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads.Some are natural scenic routes，such as Route 1 along the California coast.Others focus on history (such as Route 66) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip)．For each，you’re provided with a map telling the route’s length and how long is allowed.
http：//https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,
This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and tourist sites.There are photos of each hotel.Importantly，these are not promotional photos provided by the hotels，but more honest and revealing ones taken by inspectors.From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York，you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations，facilities and styles，or just pick out a selection of the best.
http：//https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,
SeaWorld in San Diego can make dreams come true，but the price is not affordable for the majority of people.So turn to long-established http：//sea w https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,，giving big discounts on tickets，hotels and dining at SeaWorld.
1．The text is probably from .
A．a science report B．a news article

D．http：//sea w https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html,
答案 A
解析细节理解题。第一个网址中提到了品尝葡萄酒(a cycling and wine-tasting trip)，因此选A。
3．What can be inferred from the text?

B．The National Scenic Byways Program covers all American roads.
C．Photos on http：//https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html, can be trusted by tourists.
D．http：//sea w https://www.doczj.com/doc/b314218578.html, is a newly established website.
