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 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 more planes on order than in【C14】______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、since
B、for
C、before
D、despite
答案D
解析 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。四个选项的意思分别为：[A]since“自从”；[B]for“为了”；[C]before“在……之前”；[D]despite“尽管，虽然”。显然，能体现出让步逻辑的只有[D]despite，即[D]为本题答案。
