参考答案:C进入在线模考
【译文】这个海滨小镇的大多数旅馆在冬天进入淡季,因为几乎没有游客前来度假。
【解析】形容词词义辨析题。四个选项都可以表示“生意萧条”slow表示顾客少、销售不佳而生意“清淡”,如a slow day。quiet则侧重指因客户少而生意“清淡”,如me quiet season after Christmas。slack表示与通常情况相比生意“萧条、清淡”,如a slack business season/slack demand。low与season连用,表不the least busy part of the time,即“淡季”(此时机票、酒店房间等会提供优惠价格),是英式用法。本题优先选C。
