专题十二 考点19 应用文（B卷）1.Swimming Holes in America    In America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.    Cummins Falls    Looking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic, 75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for natives of Tennessee. But now, the secret is out! Although it's a bit tough to get there, once you're in the park, the mountains and rivers provide unmatched beauty on your way to the swimming holes in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.    Sliding Rock    As a popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet tall lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.    Mooney Falls    It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling through two underground passages and then climbing down a sheer diff(峭壁) face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool make it worth the trip.    Lihue Estate    A private swimming hole on the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The water for this 2.5-mile journey, which comes from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—is channeled through ditches(沟渠) that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.1.
