The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), 【22】______which 42, 000 flight attendants with 27 airlines are represented, evidently thinks so. The organization claims that the incidence of air-quality-related diseases has【23】______among its members and demands that prompt actions be【24】______to improve the conditions in the airplane cabin.
A study the AFA【25】______in 1997 uncovered about 1, 000 self-reported incidents of headaches, dizziness and memory loss【26】______flight attendants and passengers. Some flight attendants were too ill to【27】______their safety duties, while others have been permanently disabled.
Because of airlines’ efforts to【28】______their expenses, cabin-air filters are not cleaned【29】______. The complaints of flight attendants do not always give【30】______to correct maintenance. Airlines turned to recycled air, 【31】______that they would reduce some of their costs. They are not required to put filters in. Airlines are【32】______great pressure to get their flights out【33】______. So they do not pay as much attention to systems that are not as【34】______to flight schedule and safety.
Recent research findings emphasize the concern that filters can【35】______engine chemicals into the cabin air. This may not happen【36】______every flight, but it is a persistent problem.

More than half of the 200 subjects reported health problems they【39】______to cabin air. It was concluded that these health problems were consistent with【40】______harmful gases and substances.

选项
A、confided
B、promised
C、ensured
D、convinced
答案
D
解析
confide(向某人)吐露(隐私、秘密等);promise承诺;ensure确保;convince使确信。从语意上来看,可排除A;从句子结构上来看,这里是过去分词短语作原因状语,B项不符合;文中句子的意思是,航空公司诉诸可循环空气,因为他们确信(通过这种方式)可以降低部分成本,ensure常用于主动语态中,convince常用搭配为convince sb./yourself of sth.,如:I’d convince myself (that)I was right.故选D。
