问题 Wasorkorf Moves Ahead of Squatrust in Aircraft Industry
Russian plane manufacturer Wasorkorf had a whopping 30 percent increase in sales in October through December, according to company records. The Moscow-based company took 450 orders of airplanes this quarter. It has now replaced their German-based rival Squatrust as the world’s top aircraft manufacturer. Production rates also climbed nearly 10 percent to 150 units in the same period.
Wasorkorf president Leticia Ivanov relates the jump in sales to the growing popularity of budget airlines. "The rising number of people traveling around the world on cheaper airlines consequendy boosted demand for more aircraft," Ivanov said. Wasorkorf has been the leading supplier of passenger aircraft in Southeast Asia for more than ten years. Among its customers are carriers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which have been gradually expanding their fleets.
"The figure indicates that Wasorkorf and the entire airline industry are gradually bouncing back from the economic downturn," Ivanov said. The worldwide recession, which lasted for nearly three years, severely affected the tourism industry and suppressed demand for aircraft.
What did the article mention about the global recession?
选项 A、It reduced the number of airplane orders.
B、It halted the operations of some airlines.
C、It caused air carriers to lower fares.
D、It forced Wasorkorf to merge with another company.
答案A
解析 本题需将选项中与题目核心词the global recession相关的内容带回到原文中去查找并判断正误。(A)与原文中提到的“The worldwide recession，which lasted for nearly three years…suppressed demand for aircraft．”，即“持续了近三年的全世界范围的经济衰退使得对飞机的需求也受到了抑制”的内容一致。因此(A)It reduced the number of airplane orders．为正确答案。(B)、(C)、(D)在原文中均未被提及。
