问题     South-East Asia’s low-cost airlines have gone from feast to famine. Cheap, short-haul, no-frills flying came【C1】________to the region, but people have【C2】________it eagerly. In just ten years,【C3】________the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), a research firm in Sydney, low-cost carriers’ share of the region’s aviation market has【C4】________from almost nothing to 58％. In Europe, where cheap airlines have been flying for much longer, Easy Jet and its fellows【C5】________only about 40％. Now South-East Asia’s skies are looking【C6】________.
    The rise of low-cost carriers reflects potential demand for flying in an increasingly【C7】________part of the world. This year another 12 such airlines may join the 47 already flying in the Asia-Pacific【C8】________This week it was【C9】________that Beijing is planning a new, $14 billion airport. In South-East Asia【C10】________has been particularly strong: many of its 600m people live in large archipelagic(多岛的) countries,【C11】________Indonesia and the Philippines, where flying is the easiest way to get around.
   【C12】________the world’s 15 busiest low-cost international【C13】________, nine are in South-East Asia. All this demand requires aeroplanes; CAPA says South-East Asia is the only region where there are【C14】________planes on order than in existing fleets.
   【C15】________, the expansion of airlines’ capacity seems to be getting ahead of the growth in demand. Some low-cost carriers are【C16】________to fill their seats. More luxurious airlines are feeling the trouble, too; this week Cathay Pacific said that【C17】________strong long-haul profits, competition from budget airlines was starting to【C18】________it on short-haul routes. Singapore Airlines expressed【C19】________worries earlier this month. Con Korfiatis, former boss of Jetstar Asia, the low-cost arm of Australia’s struggling Qantas,【C20】________that " the growth in the market will definitely be there, it’s just a matter of introducing too much capacity too soon.
【C20】
选项 A、doubts
B、predicts
C、estimates
D、believes
答案D
解析 动词辨析题。四个选项分别为A项doubts“怀疑”；B项predicts“预测”；C项estimates“估计”；D项believes“相信，认为”。根据引号里的内容“will definitely be there，it’s just a matter of…”可见此人的观点是很明确的、很肯定的，故搭配的动词doubts“怀疑”不合适；而predicts“预计”和estimates“估计”两词不但意思接近，而且语气也不是很肯定，故believes“相信”为最佳答案，即选择D项。
