Seniors and the City
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 and 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-dig-it 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. [br] From the passage we can infer that ______.
选项
A、the real-estate developers have broken their original contracts of construction with senior retirees
B、a life in the downtown city is expensive, and most of those retirees who moved back into the city are very well-off
C、with more older people living in the city, the city will become gray and less beautiful
D、very soon the American suburban areas will face their low population crisis
答案
D
解析
本题可用排除法。依照第1段,选项A错误。文章最后说明选项B不正确。文中第2段倒数第2句说:“In the next six years,downtowns are expected to grow even greyer.”故选项C也不正确。通过文中的统计数据可推断,不久郊区可能出现人口稀少的现象,选项D正确。
