13、to previous levels within two to three years.”，可知航空公司相信，损失将是有限的，乘客数量将在两到三年内恢复到以前的水平。可判断出英国航空公司坚信他们的交通水平将在2-3年内恢复。选项C符合题意。42.作者态度题。纵观全文，作者认为列车的开通对航空公司的影响力度是有限的，客人最后还是会重新选择航空运输，所以对乘客数目下降的现象还是持乐观态度的，但是从整篇文章的语气来看，作者还是心存担忧的。选项A符合题意。43.推断题。根据文章第四段， “the airlines believe, with passenger numbers returning t
14、o previous levels within two to three years.”，客户自航空公司坚信乘客最终还是会选择航空运输。又根据文章最后一段， “The airlines optimism on returning traffic levels is based on historical precedent.”，可知航空公司对恢复客流量水平的乐观态度是基于历史先例。可推断出作者下文提到British Rail的例子就是为了证明这一观点：航空公司对航空运输的水平持客观态度。选项B符合题意。44.推断题。根据文章第五段， “On the Brussels route, the r
