a. the large number of schools. b. the variety of the courses.c. its consideration for immigrants. d. the basic goal of education.【参考答案】24.cdcd 【福建省福州市2014高考英语3月质检试题】ba carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips 1fly into alternate airports most major destinations are served by more than one airportflying into a less popular one can result in cheaper ticketsanother added perk of quieter airports?
