In the past, all of the following might welcome new stores in Britain EXCEPT ______.
A.the local authorities.
B.the unemployed.
C.the big retailers.
D.the blue collars.
参考答案
正确答案:D
解析:推断题。由题干中的new stores in Britain定位至第四段。首句指出:lax zoning laws made it easy to build new stores in Britain,and towns generally welcomed the tax revenue and jobs.既然能为城镇带来税收,解决就业,应该受到当地政府和失业人员的欢迎,[A]和[B]符合文意。第二句中的“the number of superstores in Britain shot up from 403 in 1985 to 990 in 1995”表明零售商自己也非常愿意开设新店,[C]符合文意。只有[D]未提及,无法推出,故为答案。
