问题     Amtrak (美国铁路客运公司) was experiencing a downswing in ridership (客运量) along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.
At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became America’s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.
    Two portions of the total market were targeted; 1) anxious fliers—those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2) travel-lovers—those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacatioa The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures.
    Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.). These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Seattle route. (307 words)
To encourage consumers to travel by train, DDB Needham emphasized______.
选项 A、the freedom and convenience provided on trains
B、the practical aspects of train travel
C、the adventurous aspects of train trips
D、the safety and cleanliness of train trips
答案C
解析 本题属于细节判断题。A中“convenience”不是广告中宣传的火车特点。为了鼓励游客多乘火车，广告公司更多的是宣传火车沿途的西部风光，乘火车旅行的感受，而不是旅行的便利。文中曾含蓄地提到了火车具有安全和干净的特点，但只是间接的，不是强调地提出(emphasized)。因此看来，A、B、D均不是正确选项，C为正确选择，且可在第三段最后一句找到依据。
