问题     National Parks have more and more visitors each year. In the last ten years the number of campers using the camp sites has more than doubled.  Camping as a family vacation has suddenly become extremely popular in America. It is a cheap way to travel; its simple pleasures are a pleasant change from hectic urban life; and it can be enjoyed by children of all ages.
    In car trunks or in racks on top of cars, families load a tent, sleeping bags, inflatable mattresses, cooking pans and eating utensils, and an ice chest for storing food. When they arrive at a camping ground they find a cleared space in which to pitch their tent, a fireplace for cooking, and usually a picnic table and benches--water and firewood nearby. By evening they are settled under the stars, the campsite around them dotted with lights from cooking fires and lanterns hung from trees.
    Vacations are not all in resorts or in the wilderness. Swarms of vacationing Americans visit New York and Washington each year. They visit New York because there is no place in the world like this tremendous, exciting city, the busiest port in the world, with its great steel and glass skyscrapers, its theaters and shops, its beauty of skyline and shoreline, and its thrilling five-cent ferry ride past the Statue of Liberty. They visit Washington because it is the nation’s capital, where they can see their government at work, tour the public rooms of their President’s home, the White House, and walk along the wide avenues to the art galleries and museums. Here they can see exhibits of the native peoples of their land--the Indians and the Eskimos. They can look at Lindbergh’s small, fragile plane in which he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. They can ride the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument, visit Washington’s Mount Vernon home, and feel the shiver of national pride as they stand at the foot of the great Lincoln Monument and read the stirring words of his Gettysburg Address.
    For Americans vacation time ends on Labor Day--the first Monday in September. Labor Day is the day when summer cottages are closed, when families head back to their homes. The highways are jammed with cars. The cars are jammed with families and belongings and treasures of the summer. By the time the drivers are back home they sometimes feel that what they need is a vacation.
Which of the following is not mentioned about New York?
选项 A、Very great and exciting city.
B、Very wide avenues.
C、Great skyscrapers.
D、Beautiful skyline and shoreline.
答案B
解析 作者在第三段开头指出，纽约是巨大的、令人激动的城市，有摩天大楼，有美丽的空中轮廓线和海岸线，没有提到B(宽阔的街道)。
