[求助]GWD1-Q33 旅游机构国际化的那一篇

 Like many other industries, the

        

       travel
industry is under increasing

        

       pressure
to expand globally in order

        

Line
                to keep pace with its corporate cus-

        

  (5)      tomers, who have globalized their

        

operations in
response to market

        

pressure,
competitor actions, and

        

changing
supplier relations.  But it is

        

difficult for
service organizations to

        

 (10)      globalize. 
Global expansion through

        

acquisition is
usually expensive, and

        

expansion
through internal growth is

        

time-consuming
and sometimes

        

impossible in
markets that are not

        

 (15)      actively growing.  Some service indus-

        

try companies,
in fact, regard these

        

traditional
routes to global expansion

        

as inappropriate
for service industries

        

because of their
special need to pre-

        

 (20)      serve local responsiveness through

        

       local
presence and expertise.  One

        

       travel
agency has eschewed the tra-

        

ditional route
altogether.  A survivor

        

of the changes
that swept the travel

        

 (25)      industry as a result of the deregulation

        

of the airlines
in 1978—changes that

        

included
dramatic growth in the cor-

        

porate demand
for travel services,

        

as well as
extensive restructuring and

        

 (30)      consolidation within the travel industry—

        

this agency
adopted a unique structure

        

for
globalization.  Rather than expand

        

       by
attempting to develop its own offices

        

abroad, which
would require the devel-

        

 (35)      opment of local travel management

        

expertise
sufficient to capture foreign

        

markets, the
company solved its

        

globalization
dilemma effectively by

        

forging
alliances with the best foreign

        

 (40)      partners it could find.  The resulting

        

cooperative
alliance of independent

        

agencies now
comprises 32 partners

        

spanning 37
countries.

    

Q33:

    

The passage suggests that one of the
effects of the deregulation of the airlines was

    

             

    

1. a decline in the services available to noncommercial travelers
2. a decrease in the size of the corporate travel market
3. a sharp increase in the number of cooperative alliances among
        travel agencies
4. increased competition in a number of different service
        industries
5. the merging of some companies within the travel industry     为什么答案是E不是c啊？想不明白~请nn帮忙~~

同问````,为啥选E不选C?

C）确实没有在文章中提到。因为cooperative alliance只是travel agencies中某一个对策，而且其中提到了this agency adopted a unique structure for globalization说明这个方法并不是被普遍采用的。

再看E），主要的依据来自文章中这句话changes that included dramatic growth in the corporate demand for travel services, as well as extensive restructuring and consolidation within the travel industry。其中的extensive restructuring and consolidation是广泛的重组及整合的意思。E）符合这层意思。
