参考答案
正确答案：A
利用问题句中反映细节信息的短语结构haveahardtime作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：(第3段)Butlowfaresrequireconsistentlyfullaircrafttomakeflightseconomicallyviable(可行的)，andintherecentrecession(萧条)(与haveahardtime呼应)thevolumeoftraffichasnotgrown．该句说“在最近的萧条期间，载客量没有增加”，因此判断“乘客量没有增加”是造成航空空司经营困难的一个原因，因此选项B不是答案。关注接下来的句子：Equallythelargenumberofairlinesjostlingfor(为．．．而竞争)theavailablepassengershascreatedahugeexcess(过剩)ofcapacity．该句说“航空公司对乘客的争抢造成了大量容量的过剩”。继续关注接下来的句子：Thenet(最终的)resultofexcesscapacityandcut-throat(激烈的)competitiondrivingdown(压低)fareshadbeentopushsomeairlinesintocollapseandleavemanyothershovering(盘旋)onthebrink(在边缘上)．该句说“运载量的过剩和降低票价的残酷竞争逼迫一些航空公司倒闭了，而使其他更多的航空公司盘旋在濒临倒闭的边缘”，该句与C和D都呼应，只有A没有提到，因此A是答案。
