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.

解析

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。
