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.
What has attracted some foreign retailers to decide to set up shops in the UK?
选项 A、The scale of the market.
B、The foreigners’ obsession with shopping.
C、The low house rent.
D、The high profits.
答案A
解析 细节推断题。由线索词attracted，foreign retailers定位到文章第二段首句。文中说受到市场规模和国内购物热的影响，几家国外零售商也计划今年进驻英国市场，因此A)“市场规模”是吸引国外零售商的因素之一。
