问题 PASSAGE ONE [br] What does "retailing landscape is littered with the bones" in Para. 8 mean?
选项
答案 Many U．S．retailers have failed in Britain．
解析 本段第一句用while引出转折，指出虽然初期的形势良好，但美国零售商在英国不一定都能成功(shouldn’t consider Britain a sure thing)。下文接着说明英国零售业激烈的竞争环境(brutally competitive)，最后以indeed作出总结，英国零售市场littered with the bones，该词组字面义为“堆满美国成功零售商的白骨”，原文之后又说他们都曾在跨过大西洋时跌过跟头，言下之意即许多美国零售商曾在英国遭遇重创，所以本题答案可表述为Many U．S．retailers have failed in Britain。
