Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned that we just can’t win, can we, airlines? Over the past several years, as more and more airlines began【C1】______for checking luggage on flights, passengers started getting savvier(更精明的)about saving themselves some money by packing less—or maybe just by cramming everything they needed into carry-on size suitcases. But that, of course, has had its【C2】______too. Longer security lines, less space in overhead bins and even flight delays are caused by people who fail to understand what carry-on size luggage is, thereby being【C3】______to check their bags minutes before taking off. And now there’s more: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Congress this week that the【C4】______in the number of people carrying on bags has come at a cost to taxpayers, to the tune of $ 260 million a year.
How【C5】______does that work? Well, when you don’t check your bag in order to avoid checking fees, you are increasing the amount of baggage that then needs to be closely examined at the security checkpoint, which means more Transportation Security Administration(TSA)personnel needed and more shifts needed to be filled. So in the end, that carry-on baggage isn’t【C6】______as you would like it to be. A $ 5 fee per one-way ticket is already【C7】______when you purchase airfare. Now Napolitano has proposed increasing that fee in order to【C8】______in as much as $ 600 million more dollars for her agency every year.
Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu asked whether airlines should be tasked to make up some of that【C9】______rather than charging passengers more. Thanks, Mary, but surely you know that the airlines will just make up for that【C10】______by increasing fares—or perhaps charging for oxygen.
A)bring F)difference K)increase
B)charging G)enhanced L)levied
C)conclusion H)exactly M)profiled
D)consequences I)forced N)properly
E)cost J)free O)similarity [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
L
解析
动词辨析题。空格前为is already,因此空格处应填动词过去分词或形容词。结合句意,那5美元的费用已经在你购买机票时 了,因此空格处要填一个与“扣除,征收”有关的词,故L)levied"征收"符合题意。
