问题     Many people who fly at least occasionally have come down with a cold or the flu shortly after disembarking. Is the air in airborne commercial jets【C1】______? The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA),【C2】______which 42, 000 flight attendants with 7 airlines are represented, evidently thinks so. The organization claims that the incidence of air-quality-related diseases has【C3】______among its members and demands that prompt actions be【C4】______to improve the conditions in the airplane cabin.
    A study the AFA【C5】______in 1997 uncovered about 1, 000 self-reported incidents of headaches, dizziness and memory loss【C6】______flight attendants and passengers. Some flight attendants were too ill to【C7】______their safety duties, while others have been permanently disabled.
    Because of airlines’ efforts to【C8】______their expenses, cabin-air filters are not cleaned【C9】______. The complaints of flight attendants do not always give【C10】______to correct maintenance. Airlines turned to recycled air,【C11】______that they would reduce some of their costs. They are not required to put filters in. Airlines are【C12】______great pressure to get their flights out【C13】______. So they do not pay as much attention to systems that are not as【C14】______to flight schedule and safety.
    Recent research findings emphasize the concern that filters can【C15】______engine chemicals into the cabin air. This may not happen【C16】______every flight, but it is a persistent problem.
    In a study published in October 1998 an investigation was made【C17】______complaints of crew members【C18】______air quality and health. More than half of the 200 subjects reported health problems they【C19】______to cabin air. It was concluded that these health problems were consistent with【C20】______harmful gases and substances.
【C11】
选项 A、confided
B、promised
C、ensured
D、convinced
答案D
解析 confide(向某人)吐露(隐私、秘密等)；promise承诺；ensure确保；convince使确信。从语意上来看，可排除A；从句子结构上来看，这里是过去分词短语作原因状语，B项不符合；文中句子的意思是，航空公司诉诸可循环空气，因为他们确信(通过这种方式)可以降低部分成本，ensure常用于主动语态中，convince常用搭配为convince sb．／yourself of sth．，如：I’d convince myself(that)I was right．故选D。
