问题     The worst recession since World War II took place on the high street, with one in ten stores left empty as wounded retailers go to the wall. But as the recovery gets under way and empty shops find new tenants, the names over the doors are changing.
    Several foreign retailers have plans to set up shops in the UK this year, attracted by the scale of the market and a national obsession with shopping. After falling through much in 2009, retail spending starts to recover at the turn of the year and with so many shops empty, landlords are offering prospective tenants the best deals in years.
    Lorna Hall, retail editor at a trend forecaster center, says that even before the credit crunch (艰难局面) some big American groups were grading the UK. Stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Best Buy have been hit by the downturn on Main Street but have remained determined to press ahead with expansion in the UK, if only to gain a foothold (立足点) for their large online businesses.
One of the consequences the recent recession caused is that______.

选项 A、many stores went into high street
B、many stores left high street
C、many retailers made a profit
D、all the retailers went to the wall

答案B

解析 推理判断题。由线索词recession定位到首段第一句。文章首段说自二战以来最严重的一次经济危机让商业街付出了代价:零售商们大受打击,10%的商店撤离了商业街。因此可以判断B)“许多商店撤离商业街”正确。
