问题     Hollywood (好莱坞) Is a suburb of the city of Los Angeles (洛杉矶) in California. Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city, but in that year William Selig, one of the first people to make films, set up a film-producing workshop (车间) in Los Angeles. By 1911, David and William Horsely had set up another one in Hollywood, and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood. Thus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells (没井).
    The early makers of films found Hollywood a good place for their work because of its clear, sunny, rain-free weather, which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round. Also, it was known that every kind of scene needed for films, whether town, country, sea, desert or snow-capped mountains, could be found within the area of California. Today, when most films can be "shot" (拍摄) under cover by man made lighting, these advantages (优点) are not so important.
    In spite of a drop in its importance, Hollywood remains a center of film production although now making more films for television than for the cinema.
At the beginning of this century, Hollywood ______.
选项 A、was famous for its film industry
B、became one of the biggest cities in California
C、had only a small population
D、became a suburb of Los Angeles
答案C
解析 此考题为推理题。从第1段第2句中我们知道好莱坞Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city，作为一个village，它的人口肯定是不多的，由此可以断定C正确。
