Tens of thousands of retirees are pulling up stakes in suburban areas and fashioning their own retirement communities in the heart of the bustling city. They are looking for what most older people want: a home with no stairs and low crime rates. And they are willing to exchange regular weekly golf time for rich cultural offerings, young neighbors and plenty of good restaurants. Spying an opportunity, major real-estate developers have broken ground on urban sites they intended to market to suburban retirees. These seniors are already changing the face of big cities. One developer, Fran McCarthy asks: "Who ever thought that suburban flight would be round trip? "
The trickle of older folks returning to the city has grown into a steady stream. While some cities, especially those with few cultural offerings, have seen an exodus of seniors, urban planners say others have become retirees magnets. Between 1999 and 2000, the population of 64-to-75-year-olds in downtown Chicago rose 17 percent. Austin, New Orleans, and Los Angeles have seen double-digit increases as well. There may be hidden health benefits to city living. A study reveals that moving from suburbs to the city can ward off the byproduct of aging—social isolation In the next six years, downtowns are expected to grow even grayer. For affluent retirees, city life is an increasingly popular option.
Fran McCarthy’s question means: nobody ever thought that____.
选项
A、people who moved out of the city decades ago now would move back
B、suburban dwellers when moving back into the city must take round trip
C、suburban flight years ago would go in circles
D、senior people’s moving back into the city would take place all over the United States
答案
A
解析
题目问:Fran McCarthy的话的意思。第一段“One developer,Fran McCarthy asks:‘Who everthought that suburban flight would be round trip?’”开发商Fran McCarthy问:“谁曾经想过老人们迁往郊区会是一次往返旅行。”据此可知,应该选择A。
