In late May, it carried its one millionth passengers, having run only a limited service between London, Paris and Brussels since November 1994, starting with two trains a day in each direction to Paris and Brussels. By 1997, the company believes that it will be carrying ten million passengers a year, and continue to grow from there.From July, Eurostar steps its service to nine trains each way between London and Paris, and five between London and Brussels. Each train carries almost 800 passengers, 210 of them in first class.The airlines estimate that they will initially lose around 15%-20% of their London-Paris traffic to the railways once Eurostar starts a full service later this year (1995), with 15 trains a day each way. A similar service will start to Brussels. The damage will be limited, however, the airlines believe, with passenger numbers returning to previous levels within two to three years.In the short term, the damage caused by the 1 million people-levels traveling between London and Paris and Brussels on Eurostar trains means that some air services are already suffering. Some of the major carriers say that their passenger numbers are down by less than 5% and point to their rivals-Particularly Air Franceas having suffered the problems. On the Brussels route, the railway company had less success, and the airlines report anything from around a 5% drop to no visible decline in traffic.The airlines optimism on returning traffic levels is based on historical precedent. British Midland, for example, points to its experience on Heathrow Leeds Bradford service which saw passenger numbers fold by 15% when British Rail electrified and modernized the railway line between London and Yorkshire. Two years later, travel had risen between the two destinations to the point where the airline was carrying record numbers of passengers.41.British airlines confide in the fact that （ ）.42.The authors attitude towards the drop of passengers may be described as （ ）.43.In the passage, British Rail (Para 6) is mentioned to （ ）.44.The railways Brussels route is brought forth to show that （ ）.45.The passage is taken from the first of an essay, from which we may well predict that in the following part the author is going to （ ）.问题1选项A.they are more powerful than other European airlinesB.their total loss wont go beyond a drop of 5% passengersC.their traffic levels will return in 2-3 yearsD.traveling by rail can never catch up with traveling by air问题2选项A.worried.B.delightedC.puzzledD.unrivaled问题3选项A.provide a comparison with EurostarB.support the airlines optimismC.prove the inevitable drop of air passengersD.call for electrification and modernization of the railway问题4选项A.the Eurostar train service is not doing good businessB.the airlines can well compete with the railwayC.the Eurostar train service only caused little damageD.only some airlines, such as Air France
