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】______.
    A study by Oxford Economics for the British Fashion Council(BFC)found that the business added about ￡21 billion to GDP directly, twice as much as car making. High fashion accounts for only a【C4】______of that, but top-end, trend-setting design sits at the heart of the broader retail market. The BFC, which stages London Fashion Week, estimated that its six days will have【C5】______perhaps ￡ 100 million in orders.
    More than that, fashion is just the sort of thing Britain is【C6】______to be good at in this post-industrial age: creative, high-value-added, cluster-based. And the country does excel.
    But there are characteristically British【C7】______, too. Many designers have trouble【C8】______their ideas into cash. This is only partly because capital is hard to come by. "Here, it’ s all about art. In other places it’s much more of a business," says a Central St Martins student who has worked in France. The【C9】______for a number of new designers agrees: "Young designers here just make what inspires them without thinking enough about how much they’ll have to【C10】______for it, or who will buy it." A great many fold after a few years.
    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] 【C8】
选项
答案 C
解析 convert的意思是“转变，改变”，根据句意可知，许多设计师不善于将创意转变为财富，表达“做某事有困难”用固定搭配have trouble(in)doing sth．。因此，正确答案是C。
