解析

本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇的正确运用。解题的关键在于结合上下文语境，分析每个空格处所需词汇的词性和语义，从而从所给选项中选出合适的答案。

第1题

  • 此句描述的是美国航空公司针对常旅客计划采取的行动，结合语境可知是“推出”新的单程航班奖励。
  • 选项中“introduced有“推出；介绍”的意思，符合此处语义，所以第1题应选““introduced”。

第2题

  • 这里说的是达美航空公司对常旅客计划做出的改变，目的是让常旅客在保持VIP身份这件事上有更好。
  • easier表示“更容易的”，“made it easier for sb. to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“使某人做某事更容易”，符合语境，所以第2题应填“easier”。

第3题

  • 前文提到航空公司暂停里程优惠，后面列举了双倍里程促销这种情况，说明双倍里程促销是暂停里程优惠所包含的内容。
  • including是介词，意为“包括”，符合此处语义，所以第3题应填“including”。
