(1)Although some shopping malls are in need of recycling or major remodeling, the vast majority—82 percent—are doing quite well, thank you, according to a recent study. Nevertheless, developers are already beginning to stake out a new course for the design of these complexes.
(2)"Hybrid malls" are perhaps the hottest concept in the industry. They are an attempt to combine large enclosed malls with an outdoor urban streetscape retail entertainment component, with such attractions as cinemas, ice rinks, children’s playschemes, and themed restaurants. The International Council of Shopping Centers, based in New York, is calling this trend "the first major shift in regional mall configuration since 1956". In other words, since Southdale Center in Edina, Minn, became the first fully enclosed, climate-controlled mall with competing anchor stores. The advent of the hybrid mall is a sure sign that retailers realize that some shoppers have grown tired of the sameness and artificiality of indoor malls. "Many national chains like Banana Republic, Restoration Hardware, and Crate & Barrel are actively seeking what is called village retail," says Bob Gibbs, whose company, the Gibbs Planning Group, specializes in retail development and market research. "Many of their customers, especially the Generation X and Baby Boomers, are saying, ’we are bored with the mall.’" Hybrid malls pick up on the growing popularity of village-style shopping, with its connections to real communities.
(3)New Urbanists often advocate creating mixed-use developments that incorporate village shopping, a strategy employed in plans to remake the Villa Italia mall in Lakewood, Colo. Developers of hybrid malls, on the other hand, are essentially creating shopping experiences featuring streetscape as an enhancement, and providing shopping option on the outside of malls which become bigger and bigger day by day. What this means is that businesses that once were peripheral to the mall, such as full-service restaurants, major bookstores, cinemas, home-furnishings stores, and services are grouped together. Not in the same building, but often in open-air pedestrian walkways leading to the mall entrances. "We want someone to drop off their dry cleaning, have lunch, and buy a sweater; we’re back to cross-shopping," Wally Chester of Westcor Partners, a mall developer, told Shopping Centers Today.
It can be inferred that Southdale Center in Edina, Minn ______.
选项
A、inspires the concept of hybrid mall
B、is the first shift in mall structure
C、provides only indoor shopping
D、has been popular since 1956
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的Southdale Center定位到第2段第4句。该句中的the first fully enclosed,climate—controlled mall表明C的说法正确。从原文只能知道Southdale Center的建造发生在hybrid mall的理念之前,但hybrid mall的理念是不是因为前者的建造而激发起来的,就不得而知了,因此,A是不正确的;B中的first shift在该段第3句提及,但该句中的first shift指的不是Southdale Center,而是hybrid mall,而从原文我们也不能知道Southdale Center是不是历史上第一次对商场结构作出改革的案例,因此,B不正确;原文也没有提及Southdale Center在1965年后是不是一直都受欢迎,可见,D没有原文依据。
