阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中,选出最佳选项。
Washington D.C.—with its long, tree lined avenues , white markable buildings , and many parks—looks more specious and handsome than many United States cities. One reason for this is that Washington was designed from the beginning to be a capital city.
In 1790, the U. S. Congress decided that the new federal government should have its capital in a federal district—a place that is not part of any state. George Washington selected the site, and the name “District of Columbia” was chosen in honor of Christopher Columbus. The district occupies an area of 174 square kilometers (67 square miles) on the northeastern shore of the Potomac River, between the states of Maryland and Virginia.
As the capital and political center of the United States , Washington today is one of the country's most important cities. It is the city where the national legislators (立法官) meet to make laws, where the president carries out the laws, and where the country's highest court meets to judge questions about the laws.
Washington has six universities and several colleges. Georgetown University, founded in 1789 by the Jesuit order, is the oldest Catholic college in the United States. Howard University was founded by the federal government shortly after the Civil War as a school of higher learning for freed slaves. Now it is a university with an international enrollment (注册). George Washington University was founded in 1821, Catholic University in 1887, and the American University in 1893. The University of the District of Columbia was formed by the merger (合并) in 1975 of the Washington Technical Institute, Federal City College, and Miner College. Gallaudet College, the world's first college for the deaf, was founded in 1857.
In 1971, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was completed, just upstream from the Lincoln Memorial. The center provides Washington with a theater, concert hall, and opera house under one roof. It also houses the American Film Institute.
Washington has many fine galleries and museums, including the National Museum of American History, the National Air & Space Museum, the National Archives, the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery of Art , the Museum of African Art, and the Renwick, Freer, Corcoran, and Phillips galleries.
