2016--2017学年度上学期高二期中考试 英 语 试 题 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） A After living in Michigan all my life, I can’t help but say that there are so many things to do here and so many places to visit. Just have a careful look at the following ones. Sleeping Bear Dunes If you want to be more adventurous in summer, make a trip here. Spending your day climbing the mountains of sand isn’t only a physical challenge ,but a perfect way to challenge your courage. Making it to the water might take a little while, but the view at the end is completely worth it. Grand Haven I’m a little prejudiced because this is where I was born and grew up. Beside staying at the beach all day, visitors can walk along the downtown street next to the water, watch the musical fountain at night, or even go boating. Near Holland and Muskegon, Grand Haven is not a place that you will get bored with in summer. Machinac Island It’s one of the most beautiful places to spend your time in summer. Take a weekend trip to the island where there are no cars. Take time to go biking around the island and visit historical buildings to make your trip more unforgettable. The Upper Peninsula There are so many beautiful places in the UP that it takes you a week just to cover the places you should visit. The pictured Rocks on Lake Superior are a beautiful site St.Ignace borders the Straits of Mackinac and features lighthouses, hiking and fishing. Tahquamenon Falls State Park is the second largest park of the Michigan State Park and features waterfalls that you won’t be able to stop staring at in summer.
