For nearly 100 years, the heartbroken Little Mermaid has sat on a rock looking out over Copenhagen"s port but now the sculpture ,based on the famous fairytale, is heading back out to sea, set for China.
The small bronze statue inspired by the tale of author Hans Christian Andersen and unveiled in 1913, is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen. But her life has not always been easy. She has been beheaded twice, had her arm cut off, was blown off her rock in 2003 and was dressed in a Muslim headscarf two years ago in a protest - but she never left her native country.
This week she was lifted from the harbor, boxed, and shipped to Shanghai where she is the star guest in the Danish Pavilion at EXPO 2010 which runs until October 31. Details over her trip were not revealed due to security issues.
"The Little Mermaid," published in 1837, is a sad story about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince and gives up her life in the sea and her tail for legs.
The fairytale has been adapted many times into stage shows and into a Disney movie.
Copenhagen mayor Frank Jensen said in a statement that the loan of The Little Mermaid was part of a cultural exchange between Denmark and China. "I am convinced that she will be an excellent ambassador of Denmark, particularly since the Chinese already are very fond of Hans Christian Andersen and his fairytales," he said in a statement.
Her departure from Copenhagen will not leave the harbor empty. Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created a video installation(设备/装置)to be installed at her spot.
The Little Mermaid"s 165 cm (65 inches) tall sculpture, which sits on a granite block, was created in 1913 by Edvard Eriksen.
小题1:The following statements are true EXCEPT________________.
| A．the statue of The Little Mermaid will be given to China as a gift |
| B．the statue of The Little Mermaid is a major tourist attraction in Copenhagen |
| C．The Little Mermaid is a famous fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen |
| D．the story of The Little Mermaid was once adapted into a Disney movie |
| A．escaping | B．retiring | C．arriving | D．leaving |
| A．Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created another Little Mermaid instead |
| B．the Danish people don’t like the statue of The Little Mermaid |
| C．the statue of The Little Mermaid will return to Denmark in the future |
| D．Edvard Eriksen wrote the story of the Little Mermaid |
Pubs, clubs and restaurants will all be smoke-free. Taxi and delivery drivers have been warned that they too could be fined 50 pounds, or about $100, if caught lighting up inside work vehicles.
Experts say the bans have become an irreversible (不可逆转的) tread because of greatly rising health costs and public uneasiness over second-hand smoke. Some of the strictest smoking bans are in the United States, even though there is no federal anti-smoking policy. New York and Florida have strict bans, while California has certain outdoor smoking bans.
Spain, Italy, Iran, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, South Africa, Uruguay and new Zealand have passed legislation(立法) to restrict smoking. France banned smoking in many public places in February and plans to extend the ban to cafes and restaurants next year. Finland is introducing a ban in 2009.
Despite the spread of bans, the World Health Organization predicts a steady rise in tobacco sales. In its Tobacco Atlas, the WHO said that by 2030 there will be “at least another two billion smokers in the world” and an expected decrease in male smokers “will be offset by an increase in female smoking rates, especially in developing countries.”
In advance of the English ban, anti-smoking ads have coated bus stops and the British government has subsidized(资助) programs to help people quit. The rest of Britain—Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland —already have smoking bans in place.
小题1:The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______
| A．Buckingham Palace bans smoking |
| B．smoking ban comes into force in England |
| C．there’s no smoking in Buckingham Palace |
| D．smoking is against the law in England |
| A．Private houses | B．Taxis. |
| C．Restaurants. | D．London clubs |
| A．decreased | B．raised | C．encouraged | D．balanced |
| A．Smoking has strictly been forbidden in cafes in France. |
| B．There is an extremely strict smoking ban everywhere in America. |
| C．Smoking situation is still serious across the world. |
| D．Related ads didn’t appear in England until the English ban was lifted.（解除） |
Besides cutting costs, companies that sell the “e-menus” argue the bytes-for-bites way has a new value that can attract younger customers, and various photographs of steaks and gooey desserts attract diners to order more. It also could extend the TV dinner. How about a computer game dinner?
“It"s about impulse-buying,” said Adi Chitayat, Conceptic’s CEO. “If a person starts looking at pictures of chocolate cake, the chances are he"ll order it.” Frame, a restaurant in Tel Aviv with the system, is said to have its sales on tables with the e-menu increased by about 11% . Customers often call ahead to reserve （预定）spots equipped with screens, manager Natalie Edry told Reporters.
At one of the e-menu tables, IT worker Gil Uriel and his young family were enthusiastic as they checked out pictures of the dishes on offer and squabbled（争吵）overdesserts. “It’s more visual,” says Uriel, as his children clicked away furiously on a games function between courses. “We can still choose, we can still argue —but it’s much easier when we can all see it.”
小题1:The following are the advantages of “restaurants with” EXCEPT that .
| A．eating in them is more comfortable |
| B．the restaurants can save a lot of money |
| C．they can attract more youngsters to the restaurants |
| D．customers can see the pictures of their ordered foods |
| A．having no idea in buying things |
| B．being uninterested in buying things |
| C．having no patience in buying things |
| D．being encouraged in buying things |
| A．customers feel little interest in the e-menus |
| B．e-menus only attract a small number of customers |
| C．it still takes time for e-menus to be widely accepted |
| D．restaurants of this kind are refused by customers |
| A．a food guide | B．a website |
| C．a traveling magazine | D．classic advertisements |
The huge contingent （代表团） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．
Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主义的） actions it tries to shun．
Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（护卫舰） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”
小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?
| A．There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world． |
| B．China should protect workers in the foreign countries． |
| C．China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya． |
| D．The international situation is terrible |
| A．take part in | B．avoid | C．carry out | D．refuse |
| A．It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya． |
| B．A large number workers are working abroad, which bring about advantages and disadvantages． |
| C．In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands． |
| D．Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation． |
| A．It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia． |
| B．It will help the evacuation effort． |
| C．It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests． |
| D．It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global． |
