【解析】本文是一篇说明文体裁的文章，主要介绍了美国西部德克萨斯州的各种有游玩项目以及引人入胜的风景，这其中包括拜访海洋世界，到南帕德里尽享冲浪，畅游巴顿泉，到大弯国家公园露营和远足，畅想咸水垂钓。
【1】词义辨析题，通过题目中的“the Lone Star State”可以将答案定位到文章的第一段的While visiting the Lone Star State this summer, don’t miss visiting some of these attractions and taking part in some of Texas, best summer vacation activities.当中,由此可以得知“the Lone Star State”指的是德克萨斯州，又因为”孤星之州”实际上指的就是德克萨斯州，故本题选A.
【2】细节理解题，通过阅读题目我们可以了解到“当你拜访海洋世界的时候，你可以享受到那些？”因而我们可以将答案定位到文章的第三段“There are sea life shows, adventure camps，thrilling rides and a water park. A great many activities are waiting for you at SeaWorld.”结合选项可以得出C项不属于造访海洋世界的这一部分，故将其排除选择C项。
【3】细节理解题，通过阅读题目 Where can you go if you want your windsurfing dream to come true?我们可以将答案定位到文章第五段“ South Padre Island is a windsurfer’s dream.”南帕德里岛是风帆冲浪爱好者魂牵梦绕之地。因此South Pardre 为正确答案，故选B项。
【4】主旨大意题，A选项“ Barton Springs is the most popular in the USA”可以定位到文章第七段 Barton Springs has become one of the most popular swimming pools in the state.选项只是对原文的片面理解，故不选。B选项Lake Buchanan Adventures offers indoor activities可以定位到文章第九段“Lake Buchanan Adventures offers different kinds of activities, including boating, hiking, camping and more.”“boating, hiking, camping ”属于户外运动而非室内运动，故不选，C选项“fishermen may get the best saltwater fish when fishing in Texas”可以定位到文章最后一段“More and more fishermen have been discovering this in recent years and packing their bags and rods to make good use of Texas’ world-class saltwater fishery.”该句意思为钓鱼爱好者们可以充分利用这里世界级咸水鱼场 而非最好的鱼场，故排除C选项，答案选择D ,Big Bend provides outdoor activities in an ancient way,在文章中Big Bend offers a great number of outdoor activities in an old way. 这一部分可以找到对应答案。

【题目】Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
