问题    Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. Early in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was lined on both sides with  【C1】______  businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of goods: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered service. These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops.【C2】______in the 1950s, a change began to take place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too【C3】______parking places were available to shoppers.【C4】______the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space was【C5】______their car driving customers needed. And open space was what they got when the first shopping center was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, started as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers.【C6】______by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from【C7】______areas to outlying malls. And the growing popularity of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores.【C8】______the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to【C9】______the convenience of the stop shopping, malls were【C10】______into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.
【C7】
选项 A、country
B、suburban
C、rural
D、downtown
答案D
解析 考查上下文及句意理解。由上文“open spaces outside the city limits(城市界限之外的开阔地)”“away from crowded city centers(拥挤的城市中心之外)”可知，商人们在城市中心之外建立了购物中心，受许多免费停车场的吸引，顾客们从市区被吸引到郊区的购物商场。downtown“市中心(的)”，符合文意。
