   An air-travel crisis caused by a volcanic cloud emitting from Iceland worsened sharply Saturday. The US President and other world leaders were forced to 【C1】______ plans to attend the Polish president’s funeral. Across Europe, commercial flight bans were in 【C2】______ in 24 countries, with some closing airports through Monday. Concerns have also been raised that a long period of【C3】______and delays could affect the pace of European economic recovery when it is lagging be- hind that of the United States.
   Given the global links of international air travel, the problems in Europe were beginning to spread chaos 【C4】______. As far away as Singapore, the backup of international passengers was so bad that hotels were becoming hard to find in the city-state.

选项
答案 G
解析 …at $200 million说明losses“损失”的数额，前面讲到经济学家在评估(assessing)这次事件长期的影响，此处应该填入和assessing近义的词，词库中的estimated“估计”符合要求，表明航空业每天所面临的损失估计有两亿美元。predicted“预测”一般不和具体数额连用，故排除。
