问题     Amtrak—the largest railway company in the U.S.—was experiencing a declining in ridership.【C1】________ major concerns to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes【C2】________ridership had been declining【C3】________.
    At one time, trains were the only practical way to【C4】________the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient【C5】________to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became America’s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily【C6】________itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances.【C7】________, the task for DDB Needham was to【C8】________consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to【C9】________their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered【C10】________travel in the west.
    Two portions of the total market were targeted: anxious fliers—those concerned with【C11】________, and travel-lovers—those【C12】________themselves relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experiences as part of【C13】________vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel【C14】________such as freedom, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors.

    Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that【C16】________be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.).

【C9】
选项 A、strengthen
B、scold
C、change
D、transfer
答案C
解析 本填空的待选动词处于in order to之后，宾语为their attitudes，而且整个句子也是Therefore之后的部分，即由于汽车和飞机成了方便和快捷的交通丁具，广告公司要相应做出努力增加火车客流的部分；同时本句子的原文信息也已给出暗示：the task for DDB Needham was to________consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to________ (诱导消费者考虑火车的其他方面)。综合这些线索，此处想表达的是改变their attitudes，答案应选择C项change。其他动词A项strengthen表示“加强”，B项scold表示“责骂，斥责”，D项transfer表示“转移”，均不符合题意。
