Art avid Bush supporter who already has 25 shopping malls to his name, Congel himself is not a man you would expect to entertain an eccentric clean-energy vision. The project--Destiny U.S.A., a mega-mall-- first seized him in 2001, soon after 9/11--and after the project was under way--during a visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy. "There I was looking at those pure white graves of tens of thousands of kids that died for freedom," Congel reflects, sitting on the veranda of his 6,000-acre farm just outside Syracuse, where he has imported Russian wild boar and other exotic game for bunting. "Today our kids are dying in a war for oil. Petroleum addiction is destroying our country, our economy, our environment."
Several months after returning from Normandy, Congel announced that not a drop of fossil fuel would be used in the making of Destiny. Almost overnight the mission of the project changed. It went from the mall that could save the depressed economy of Syracuse to the mall that could save America by establishing a new model for green commercial development. But will shoppers actually want to travel from far and wide to a little known city’ s eco-friendly mall? And even with the green tax benefits, it is vastly more expensive to power Destiny with renewable sources than with conventional grid energy--so where’ s the financial logic?
Here’ s where Congel’ s schemes to create "monster profits" come in. Intel, Clear Channel, Cisco, Sony and Microsoft are among the brands that Destiny has recruited to supply its retail, entertainment, security and energy technologies. Many suppliers are planning to build local offices that will aid the Syracuse economy, and all have agreed to participate in the on-site development of new technologies that could be tested on the captive audience of mall-goers. (Congel will be a co-owner of the patents on all inventions.) A group of companies hopes to perfect a new wireless radio frequency identification technology to enable customers to purchase items instantly without waiting in line. The Department of Homeland Security and A.D.T., a home security company, have discussed testing new devices that will track all visitors entering and leaving the mall. [br] Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Congel first decided to begin the plan after he returned from Normandy.
B、The mall gets governmental help.
C、Business giants will bring benefits to the mall.
D、The plan of the mall was changed after Congel return from the D-Day beaches in Normandy.
答案
A
解析
选项A表达不正确,Congel是从“9·11”事件以后开始考虑开发这一项目的,见第一段。选项 B正确,文中第二段指出他得到了“the green tax benefits”,即从税收政策上得到了政府的倾斜帮助。选项C正确,因为最后一段指出Congel将通过引入他公司的产品和技术而获得盈利。D正确,见第一段。
