Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked
hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.
These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the
legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during
the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the
perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels
offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie
Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-
conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large
numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskill hotels closed
in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today's
visitors.
 Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the
leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are
also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald
eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information.
34. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A. To promote the Catskills as a vacation destination.
B. To introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainers.
C. To describe the history of the Catskills region.
D. To compare the Catskills to New England.
35. According to the passage, which of the following caused the decline in the number of hotels in the 1970s?
A. television B. shorter vacations C. affordable air travel D. more traffic
36. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "legendary" in paragraph 2?
A. foolish B. perplexing C. mythical D. humorous

A. burst forth B. spread out C. operated vigorously D. joined together
38. What does the passage imply that a visitor might be lucky enough to do?

C. work on a sheep farm D. drive on scenic roads
39. Which of the following most reflects the author's tone in this passage?
