问题 资料：Everyone knows airline pricing is based on supply and demand. Fares are more expensive during peak travel seasons like summer and to prime destinations like European capitals. So if a flight to Rome costs more than a flight to Milan, you'd think that demand for Rome must be higher or supply lower.What's puzzling is that you can pay a high price to a given destination but a dramatically lower price for the exact same flight if you agree to go on to another destination.Take Alitalia to Rome, for instance, for travel in August. A round-trip, economy flight directly to Rome leaving JFK at 10:05 p.m. on Alitalia 611 on August 5 costs $1,655 when booked on April 30. Compare that to $903 for a round-trip, economy ticket to Milan （stopping in Rome） leaving JFK on the exact same Alitalia 611 flight at 10:05 p.m. on August 5. So why is Alitalia willing to fly to Rome for $752 less than it would otherwise, plus give you an extra one-and-a-half-hour flight to Milan?Airlines have increased their profitability in recent years by segmenting the market for air travel and charging customers different prices for the same product. In this case, the market is segmented based on demand for direct flights. Airlines know most people prefer the shortest route to their destination, so they make customers pay up for the privilege of flying direct. （They also make it a little more inconvenient if you don't pay up for a direct flight, in order to encourage you to fly direct.）When prices become so obviously illogical, it may be time to revisit why air tickets can't be transferred or resold just like any other normal product. If the airlines are entitled to exploit the free market, shouldn't customers be allowed to do the same thing?What’s the author’s attitude to the present airline pricing?A.Neutral.B.PositiveC.Negative.D.Not mentioned.
选项 A.Neutral.
B.Positive
C.Negative.
D.Not mentioned.
答案 C
解析 本题考查的是态度理解。
【关键词】author’s attitude；the present airline pricing
【主题句】第5自然段If the airlines are entitled to exploit the free market, shouldn’t customers be allowed to do the same thing?如果航空公司有权利用自由市场，那么乘客为什么没有权利做同样的事呢？
【解析】题目意为“作者对现今机票的态度是什么？”选项A意为“中立的”，选项B意为“积极的”，选项C意为“消极的，反对的”，选项D意为“未提及”， 作者首先表达对较远旅程费用较少表示不解，分析了航空公司利用人们喜欢短程旅行的心理，对直飞航线收取较高费用，并故意让转机航线不方便。根据文章最后一段以及主题句，可知作者对现今机票价格的特点是持不满和反对的态度的，
