选项 A、begins
B、continues
C、ceases
D、halts
答案B
解析 本题位于文章的开头，要想获得解答本题的信息，需要从下文中寻找。下文提到“带给人快乐的度假胜地”和“引人入胜的景点和丰富多彩的活动，周围环绕着摩天大楼和壮丽的内华达沙漠”。这些都说明拉斯维加斯从过去到现在依然保持活力，故[B] continues符合句意。根据下文可知，拉斯维加斯并不是现在才成为度假胜地，故排除[A]。[C] ceases用法举例：Our factory has ceased producing bicycles．我们厂已不再生产自行车。[D] halts用法举例：The plan for armistice talks was halted．停战谈判计划被迫中止。
