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.
【C17】
选项 A、because of
B、in case of
C、for fear of
D、in spite of
答案D
解析 短语辨析题。四个选项分别为A项because of“因为”；B项in case of“万一”；C项for fear of“以免，唯恐”；D项in spite of“尽管，不管”。根据下文的long-haul和short-haul这组反义词，我们知道该空的逻辑关系必然是让步逻辑，而能体现出让步逻辑的只有in spite of，即D项为答案。
