问题 资料:Global business travel topped $1.2 trillion and is expected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2020, according to new research by the Global Business Travel Association(GBTA), an association representing the interests of corporate travel managers. What’s more China has now surpassed the U.S. as the largest business travel market in the world, ringing up $291 billion last year.At the same time, all is not rosy and a number of major issues are lurking ahead. A weakening global economy, Brexit and this year’s U.S. presidential election will mean growth will not be a straight line upwards.“The uncertainty created by financial upheaval and pending changes to trade and immigration rules will raise management heartburn. This will cause some postponement, even outright cancellation, of business trips. It may also trigger travel budget constriction as management seeks to hedge the uncertainty.” the report says.At the same time Concur, a company that provides support services for travel managers, released that the sharing economy is gaining traction with business travelers, based on its analysis of 40 million users who spend over $70 billion annually.Concur data indicates 56 percent growth for Airbnb type services in usage from Q1 2015 to Q1 2016. On average, business travelers stay five nights when home sharing versus three nights in a hotel.“Managing travel and expense is becoming increasingly complex, between integration with mobile technology, nuances in traveler preferences, and new travel supplier strategies,” notes Robb Nielsen, vice president of global produce experience at Concur. “This demands a fully connected travel and expense ecosystem paired with actionable insights, giving travel managers the visibility and control they need to drive cost savings.”A press released added, “The vast majority of business travelers also want to receive personalized travel options. However, even though business travelers want personalized options, they are hesitant to share too much personal information to obtain them. They are commonly willing to share details such as their frequent flyer or hotel loyalty number, preferred airline and hotel brands and aircraft seat preferences, but fewer than half would share their travel history, preferred leisure activities while traveling, their business calendar with booked appointments and their social media account names.”Which of the following statement is correct according to the context?A.US market alone amounted to $291 billion last year.B.GBTA stands for travelers’ interest.C.US used to be largest single market in the industry.D.Global business travel is stagnant.

【关键词】correct  the following statement
【主题句】第一自然段Global business travel topped $1.2 trillion and is expected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2020, according to new research by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), an association representing the interests of corporate travel managers. What’s more China has now surpassed the U.S. as the largest business travel market in the world, ringing up $291 billion last year. 全球商务旅行协会(GBTA)是一家代表企业旅行经理利益的协会。根据该协会最新研究表明,全球商务旅行总额达1.2万亿美元,预计到2020年将达到1.6万亿美元。更重要的是,中国现在已经超越美国,成为全球最大的商务旅游市场,去年的消费额高达2910亿美元。
【解析】本题问的是“根据文章内容,以下哪一项陈述是正确的?”选项A意为“仅美国市场去年就达到2910亿美元”;选项B意为“GBTA代表旅行者的利益”;选项C意为“美国曾是这个行业最大的单一市场”;选项D意为“全球商务旅行停滞不前”结合主题句可知,中国去年的商务旅行市场消费额为2910亿美元,而非美国,选项A错误;GBTA代表了企业旅行经理利益,而非普通旅行者,选项B错误;中国取代美国成为全球最大的商务旅游市场,因此之前美国是行业最大的单一市场,选项C正确,由此也可看出,全球商务旅行市场不是停滞的,故选项D错误。故选C。
