问题     People’s tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no money left,and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.
    Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open un-spoilt(未受破坏的)country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path, lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.
    Yet few people make full use of the national parks established for everyone’s benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by(英国的路旁停车带). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparently their idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the country sights and sounds without having to walk a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell the traffic.
Family groups nowadays like to ______.
选项 A、have meals out of doors by the road-side
B、go for a walk away from home
C、drive out past the beautiful places
D、hear and smell the animals
答案A
解析 根据题干信息family groups nowadays可将答案定位到第三段第二句。原文提到，当下最为常见的事情就是，全家人一起开车去一个美丽的景点，将车停在路边的停车带。然后他们就拿出准备好的各种工具和食物在自己的汽车旁野餐，故选A。
