【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。
