Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.
These
rugged
mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels mat
sprang up
in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedies like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, chasing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’ s visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic
drives
in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for
spotting
bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the office of Public Information. [br] In what season would a tourist most likely have visited the Catskills in the 1950s?
选项
A、Fall.
B、Winter.
C、Spring.
D、Summer.
答案
D
解析
本题考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“more recently for the summer hotels matsprang up in the region during the 1940s,1950s,and 1960s.Families trying to escape theheat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so eachsummer.”可知,20世纪四十、五十、六十年代,人们夏天会把Catskills作为最好的避暑胜地。所以,答案是D。
