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.
Some stores are determined to expand in the UK for the purpose to get______.
选项 A、recovered from the recession
B、more profit from the country
C、ground for their online business
D、more sales for their online business
答案C
解析 综合归纳题。由线索词determined，expand和UK定位到文章最后一句。文中说很多国外商店决定进驻英国市场，前提是只要他们能在网上交易中获得立足之地，C)“在网上交易中站稳脚跟”与此相符。
