The U. S. Travel Association confirmed in a survey what many frustrated fliers already know:The No. 1 airport headache is passengers who pull too many carry-on bags through security and onto flights.
That number has skyrocketed in recent years—86 million more bags were carried on in the year than during the same period two years earlier, the Transportation Security Administration estimates.
The reason for the carry-on jump is no mystery: All the major domestic airlines now charge to check(托运)even one bag, generally $25. To save money and time at the baggage claim, passengers carry as much as they can on board, with predictable consequences.
At security checkpoints, these millions of extra bags, many of them densely packed, mean longer lines. Once past security, the fun continues at boarding. On a typical flight, there’s a fierce fight for scarce overhead bin space, extending the boarding process. Bags that are stuffed under seats make passengers even more uncomfortable.
There has got to be a better way. In fact, there is. Here’s what a more sensible system would look like:
No fee for the first piece of checked luggage. It would be better if airlines simply raised fares(机票)instead of fees. Limit the carry-on size and charge for large carry-ons. Use templates(标尺)at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staffs notice until they’re right at the door of the plane. Tax the airlines’ income from fees the same way that fares are taxed. Currently, the fees are tax free, encouraging airlines to generate income through fees rather than fare increases.
We’re sympathetic to the airline industry’s need to make money, but the baggage fees— previously intended to offset rising fuel costs—have become an interruption that slows down the security check, offloads costs onto fliers and makes the boarding process even more unpleasant than it already is.
What is thewriter’s attitude toward airline industry?
选项
A、Critical
B、Sympathetic
C、Approving
D、Indifferent
答案
A
解析
观点态度题。通读全文可知作者对于航空行业现在收行李费的做法颇多微词,总体是持批评态度的。这题很容易错选B,但根据最后一段的第一句,“We’re sympathetic tothe airline industry’s need to make money,but…”,这里的but一词是强烈的转折,所以不能被这里的sympathetic一词所迷惑而误选B。观点态度题的答案一般不会是文中出现的原词,这点还请各位考生好好记住。
