If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography(海洋學(xué)), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story, though. Life in LA is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace? Then you probably should stay away from America’s large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D. C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live in could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
【小題1】What, according to the author, should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?
A.The climate | B.The scenery |
C.The study condition | D.The living condition |
A.California is the best place to live in. |
B.California is the worst place to live in. |
C.California is a state with the largest city. |
D.California is a state with different climates. |
A.find the best universities |
B.feel the real character of the nation |
C.meet the most famous professors there |
D.face more difficulties |

In order to learn a foreign language well,four things are necessary. First,we must understand the language when we hear it spoken.Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence and without hesitation(猶豫). Thirdly,we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help,but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book.It is not much learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings,studying the dictionary and so on.We must learn by using the language.
If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized,we are not really learning the language.We must “l(fā)earn through use.” Practice is important.We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解
Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before .We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.
What should I wear?
If you’re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it——the desert gets rather cold at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you’re going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home –it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques(清真寺)or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow(肘部), and no shorts for men or women in those areas.
What special things do I need to pack?
One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head , and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.
How do I communicate with home?
Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on you phone, you should be able to use it-AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure, but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile , but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.
What medical preparation do I need?
In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah ’s Revenge. ” The thing that gets rid of pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine, and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box . DON’T drink local water. DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you’ll be fine.
【小題1】 What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?
A.String bikinis | B.Bathing suits |
C.Long-sleeve clothes | D.Shorts. |
A.To relieve your thirst. | B.To cool yourself down. |
C.To prevent sunburns. | D.To drive away insects. |
A.A cell phone is enough for most people. |
B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt. |
C.A satellite phone doesn’t work in Mid-Egypt. |
D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities. |
A.A battle | B.A tale |
C.A disease | D.A plant |
A.describe a journey to Egypt to the tourists |
B.offer some practical tips on traveling in Egypt |
C.warn readers of the awful insects in Egypt |
D.a(chǎn)ppeal to more possible tourists to the journey |
