细节题

Yet another year witnesses Britain’s high streets in continuous decline as across the country doors are closing and stores are shutting down, ranging from the corner post office and pub to famous names like Marks & Spencer. Similar to the climate crisis and the spoiling of the countryside, the challenges of urban geography go unnoticed because their impact is local. But the world is composed of locals.

High streets are commonly perceived by planners as places where people engage in shopping, but they are not as a matter of fact; rather, they are places of character, where people gather, communicate and feel at home in company. Their shops can be replaced by out-of-town supermarkets, and now by online stores. But their society is irreplaceable.

The future outlook for high street shops appears pessimistic. Online shopping is forecast to account for 40% of spending by 2030. In Britain, moreover, governments have done all they can to kill off high streets, allowing out-of-town centers to replace the high street wherever they wanted, while high streets everywhere have had the commercial lifeblood sucked from them. Vast stretches of countryside have disappeared due to car-dependent shoppers at supermarkets, which will soon lie as deserted as petrol stations. This was mindless planning. Meanwhile, the British government has dealt death blows to town centre shops with murderous business rates, while letting off out-of-town commerce virtually free.

British high streets are gradually transitioning towards the experience economy. Surviving shops focus on beauty, fitness, coffee, charity and loans. Interestingly, too, the number of bookshops is actually rising, A more intelligent government initiative has been the modest £40m boost to Historic England’s “heritage (遗产) action zones”, driven by evidence that smartening up old high streets makes them attractive destinations to casual shoppers or just visitors.

If there is social wrong that cries out for a solution, it is personal isolation, as the bonds that once held people of all ages within the warmth of community are disintegrating. This issue extends from the depression of young digital natives to the underlying pain of old age, not ill-health, but loneliness. The conventional institutions of the high street—the pub, the library, the police station—all traditionally served to provide comfort to ease such troubles. However, the driving force behind these connections now must become more than the mere necessity to shop.

What is the author’s purpose in including the sentence: “But the world is composed of locals.” (para. 1)?

["

To explain the sweeping force of online shopping around the world.

","

To express disappointment at the neglect of issues like climate change.

","

","

To introduce the topic of widespread landscape changes at the local level.

目的意图题。根据第一段 “But the world is composed of locals. (但世界是由当地人组成的。)” 以及根据第二段 “High streets are commonly perceived by planners as places where people engage in shopping, but they are not as a matter of fact; rather, they are places of character, where people gather, communicate and feel at home in company. Their shops can be replaced by out-of-town supermarkets, and now by online stores. But their society is irreplaceable. (高街通常被规划者认为是人们购物的地方,但事实并非如此;相反,它们是充满个性的地方,人们在这里聚会、交流,有宾至如归的感觉。他们的商店可以被外地超市取代,现在又被网上商店取代。但是他们的社会是不可替代的。)” 可知,作者通过这句话强调了本地社区在社会福祉中的重要性。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据第一段 “Yet another year witnesses Britain’s high streets in continuous decline as across the country doors are closing and stores are shutting down, ranging from the corner post office and pub to famous names like Marks & Spencer. Similar to the climate crisis and the spoiling of the countryside, the challenges of urban geography go unnoticed because their impact is local. (又一年见证了英国商业街的持续衰退,从街角的邮局和酒吧到像玛莎百货这样的知名品牌,全国各地的大门都在关闭,商店也在关闭。与气候危机和对农村的破坏类似,城市地理的挑战也没有引起人们的注意,因为它们的影响是局部的。)” 根据最后一段 “The conventional institutions of the high street—the pub, the library, the police station—all traditionally served to provide comfort to ease such troubles. However, the driving force behind these connections now must become more than the mere necessity to shop. (大街上的传统机构——酒吧、图书馆、警察局——传统上都是为缓解这些麻烦而提供安慰的。然而,这些联系背后的驱动力现在必须变得不仅仅是购物的需要。)” 可知,主要讨论了英国高街商店的衰落及其对社会的影响,同时探讨了高街商店在社区建设中的重要性以及其未来的转型方向。所以短文主要关于英国商业街商店的商业变化。故选B。
