[解析]
1．B．参考the airline companies are doing everything they can bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight，从这句话来看，无票飞行能节约钱。
2．C．选项D错的原因是：①向无票乘客提供短途(miles)免费游是部分航空公司的 举措，不是所有航空公司所为。②只对常客提供这种免费游，不是对任何乘客。 3．A．这里的paper lovers指喜欢持票乘机的人。
4．D．虽然文章中有这样一句话And there are rising punishments for paper lovers，但这不是航空公司所说的话，惩罚持票者也不是航空公司的目的，故不选B。文章的最后一句话说出了机票挂失提价的真正目的，也就是为了填补因为挂失而查找失票所造成的花费，这与选项D一致。
