Question 14
答案：E
关键词：evidence/ meeting facilities
定位原文：E段第一句“In 2011, an online airport survey was conducted and some of the areas investigated included the provision and use of meeting facilities at airports.”
解题思路：通过速读各段段首句，或者说主旨句，可以定位到E段,“2011年，实施了一份网络问卷调查，问卷里包含调查机场是否提供会议设备的问题”，说明了这段的主旨，即机场提供会议设备。
Question 15
答案：B
关键词：airport trade
定位原文：B 段第1句“Some of the more obvious solutions to growing commercial revenues, such as … have already been tried to their limit at many airports”
解题思路：“一些更为明显的用来增加商业收入的招术，比如扩大销售空间或扩充购物种类，在许多机场都已经被用遍了”，说明了这段的主旨，即机场的商业发展，同时是一种statement(陈述)。在题目中的no further developments are possible是对原文中have already been tried to their limit 的同义改写。
Question 16
答案：G
关键词：income/meeting facilities
定位原文：G 段第1句“The survey asked respondents with meeting facilities to estimate how much revenue their airport earned from its meeting facilities during the last financial year.”
解题思路：题目的关键词是income和meeting facilities。通过速读各段段首句，定位到G段。 该段首句“问卷让拥有机场会议设备的受访者估计他们的机场在过去的财政年度内的收入是多少”，说明了这段的主旨是讲会议设备的收入。所以这里答案是G。
Question 17
答案：A
关键词：impact/budget airlines/income
定位原文：A段首句“In recent times developing commercial revenues has become more challenging for airports due to a combination of factors.”
解题思路：题目的关键词是impact，budget airlines和income。通过速读各段段首句，定位到A段，“在最近，由于各种原因的组合，发展商业收入对于机场来说变得越来越困难”，说明了这段的主旨是讲影响机场收入的各种因素，也就是题目中的impact，继续看到该段最后，low-cost carrier sector(低成本航空公司)说的就是题目中的budget airlines(廉价航空公司)。所以也可以确定答案是A。
Question 18
答案：C
关键词：airport premises/business purposes
定位原文：C段首句“At the same time, airports have been developing and expanding the range of services that they provide specifically for the business traveller in the terminal.”
解题思路：题目的关键词是airport premises和business purposes。通过速读各段段首句，定位到C段，C段首句“与此同时，在航空站台中，机场一直在开发和扩大特别为商务旅客提供服务的范围”，说明了这段的主旨是讲机场的商业用途，也就是题目中的business purposes。所以答案选C。
Question 19
答案：security procedures
关键词：shopping time/affected/updated
定位原文：第1段的最后一句“new security procedures that have had an impact on the dwell time of passengers”
解题思路：根据题目的意思，是一个因素影响了旅客的消费时间，就去文中定位找这个因素(factor)。第一段的第一句，列举了a combination of factors，继续往后看到最后一句，“新的安检流程对于乘客在商场的停留时间也产生了很大影响”，所以这里答案是“security procedures”。
Question 20
答案：final destination
关键词：recreational facilities
定位原文：B段最后一局 “The airport also has the possibility of taking on the role of the final destination rather than merely a facilitator of access.”
解题思路：根据关键词定位到B段，因为B段的主旨大意是机场为了增加商业收入使用了很多方法。继续定位到最后一句, 题目中的a means of travel是对这句话中a facilitator of access的同义改写。recreational，娱乐的，消遣的。所以这里答案是“final destination”。
Question 21
答案：airlines
关键词：encouraged/loyalty
定位原文：D段首句“When an airport location can be promoted as a business venue, this may increase the overall appeal of the airport and help it become more competitive in both attracting and retaining airlines and their passengers.”
解题思路：这个题目的关键词部分是feel encouraged to use and develop a sense of loyalty，要通过这部分关键内容来在原文中定位找答案。定位到D段首句，题目中的may feel encouraged是对这句话中的may increase the overall appeal的同义改写，题目中的develop a sense of loyalty是对attracting and retaining(吸引并留住)的同义改写。所以答案是“airlines”。
Question 22
答案：competitive advantage
关键词：meeting facilities/other venues
定位原文：D段最后一句“... but clearly this will be dependent on the competitive advantage that the airport is able to achieve in comparison with other venues”
解题思路：根据这两个关键词组定位到原文D段，因为D段已经提到了the presence of meeting facilities，题目问的是关于over other venues的事情，所以继续定位到这段最后一句的后半部分，注意这句话中的this指代的就是上一句话的主语the presence of meeting facilities。题目中的over other venues(over在这里有“超过”的意思)是对这句话中to achieve in comparison with other venues 的同义改写，题目中的need to是对这句话中的be dependent on的同义改写。这里答案应该是“competitive advantage”。
Question 23
答案：economic downturn/climate
关键词：financial constraints
定位原文：E段最后一句“These are fairly high proportions considering the recent economic climate.”
A 段第2句“Moreover, the global economic downturn has caused a reduction in passenger numbers while those that are travelling generally have less money to spend.”
解题思路：如果在E、F、G三个范围段落里寻找答案，这句话的答案需要定位到E段的最后一句，这句话的主语指的是问卷调查结果中一些比较理想的数据，题目中的a significant percentage of airports是这句话中fairly high proportions的同义改写，题目中的due to是对这句话中的considering的同义改写，二者都有“由于”的意思。所以句尾的economic climate就是这个填空处的正确答案。
如果不在E、F、G三个范围段落里寻找答案，这句话的答案需要定位到A段的第二句，题目中的financial constraints是对这句话caused后面所有内容的一个概述，所以economic downturn也可以作为填空的答案。
