问题     Twice a year, in spring and autumn, London’s fashionistas go【C1】______at the second of the world’s "big four" fashion weeks. From September 16th to the 21st, 68 catwalk shows【C2】______the wares of mainly British-based designers, with celebrities in【C3】______.

High fashion accounts for only a【C4】______of that, but top-end, trend-setting design sits at the heart of the broader retail market.

    A big challenge now is to conquer developing markets before developing-world fashion houses conquer Britain.
A)merits B)transmitting C)converting D)supposed
E)charge F)crazy G)displayed H)delighted
I)agent J)downsides K)yielded L)fraction
M)account N)majority O)attendance [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 J
解析 downsides的意思是“短板；下降趋势；负面”，段首的But提示本段内容与上段形成转折。上段讲时尚产业的优势，那么本段应该是讲劣势。因此，正确答案是J。
