• Read the article below about cheap frills in flying.
• Choose the best word to fill each gap from A, B, C or D.
• For each question (19-33), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.
When is a low-cost airline not a ’no-frills’ airline? When it adds frills, business travellers who have taken enthusiastically to value-for-money air (19) are now being offered packages more commonly associated with mainstream airlines.
To date, the attraction of no-frills airlines has been based on price; forget the more convenient departure points, creature comforts or ease of (20) . Easyjet, Ryanair and Debonair have all undercut leading carriers by as (21) as 70 per cent on high volume routes.
However, in the wake of increased competition and aggressive price-cutting from mainstream airlines such as KLM UK, three no-frills airlines are changing tack. Virgin Express is (22) legroom and is contemplating the (23) of a frequent-flyer programme; Go, owned by British Airways, is wooing the business traveller; and Debonair is introducing a business class section next week.
Debonair, based at Luton Airport, north of London, was launched just over two years ago and went into (24) for the first time this summer.

Debonair’s business class, called ABC, will give (27) more privacy during the flight, a fully-refundable, flexible ticket, a free bar, a snack and a dedicated check in desk. Yet the (28) will remain as much as 40 per cent below the average business class ticket price.
Other low-cost airlines, however, are standing (29) Even so, Easyjet, which markets itself on lowest price, no catering and direct sell, has now introduced a £10 (30) to allow its passengers to (31) from one Easyjet flight to another. This is effectively a concession to the business traveller, who needs more flexibility.
Attempts by Virgin Express, Go and Debonair to move upmarket are being (32) by some as the beginning of a consolidation in the sector. With so much (33) on price, it seems likely that some players in the low-cost airline business will fail to survive.
选项
A、fee
B、fare
C、toll
D、payment
答案
B
解析
本题考查的是词语辨析,本题题意:所需费用仍然保持比一般商务舱价格低40%。Fee费指“会费、学费”等;fare“车费、船费、飞机费”;toll使用“道路、桥梁、港口等的费用”;payment“支付的款项”。故选B。
