The A380 will enter service in early 2006 with Singapore Airlines．
Airbus claims the A380 will burn less fuel, make less noise, create less pollution and cost 17 per cent less per seat than the 747．It will also reduce traffic problems in the skies．
The aircraft, which cost between ￡140 million(US$250m) and ￡157 million (US$280m) each compared with ￡84 million (US$150m) for Boeing’s new Dreamliner jet, is being built at 16 factories in Germany, France, Spain and the UK．
But activists have warned of more noise and pollution from the Superjumbo, while Boeing believes huge aircraft will not be in great demand over the next decade．
As a result, it is putting faith in the much smaller 7E7 Dreamliner．But Airbus is pinning its hopes on the “big is beautiful” theory, gambling on size being the key factor in the US-European battle for the skies．
Airbus said it was in talks with half a dozen global airlines about buying the A380. China Eastern Airlines, already an Airbus customer, is said to be targeted, while executives made it plain that they wanted to fight for the Japanese market, which had traditionally been controlled by Boeing．
Over the next 20 years, Airbus hopes to sell 750 of the new planes into a market worth ￡185billion (US$330bn)．The company already has129 firm orders for the A380, with 52 options．
小题1:According to Airbus, which of the following is not the advantage of A380 compared to Boeing 747?
| A．Making less noise, causing less traffic problems |
| B．Using less fuel, costing less money |
| C．Creating less pollution, having less weight |
| D．Having more floor space, creating less pollution |
| A．Airbus is not aiming at the Japanese market． |
| B．Boeing is not a rival of Airbus． |
| C．A380 hasn’t been used yet． |
| D．Boeing is better than Airbus． |
| A．duty-free shops | B．restaurants | C．banks | D．a sauna |
| A．not so good | B．cheerful | C．undesirable | D．gloomy |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:B
解析
小题1:根据文章第三段的内容Airbus claims the A380 will burn less fuel, make less noise, creat less pollution and cost 17 per cent less per seat than the 747．it will also reduce traffic problems in the skies可以看出，C选项的have less weight不是A380的优点。
小题2:从文章倒数第二段while executives made it plain that they wanted to fight for the Japanese market可以推断出A选项，Airbus正准备进军日本市场。从第一段的The Airbus A380 will have 50 per cent more floor space than American rival Boeing’s 747 Jumbo及倒数第二段的while executives made it plain that they wanted to fight for the Japanese market, which had traditionally been controlled by Boeing．可以推断出，B选项，Boeing是Airbus的竞争对手。从文章第二段The A380 will enter service in early 2006 with Singapore Airlines．看出，A380还没有投入使用当中。所以C选项也可以推断出，只有D选项文章没有提到。
小题3:文章第一段第2句提到：空中巴士A380 比它的竞争对手Boeing 747 有更多的空间——有免税商店、饭店及桑拿浴室的空间，但没提到银行。
小题4:通过文章对空中巴士A380的描述，我们可以推知：其前景是相当乐观的。

High mountains with rich, fertile land between them cover northern Greece. The hilly southern part is a peninsula called the Peloponnesus. Hundreds of islands surround the mainland. The largest island is Crete.
No part of the nation is far from water. The Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea carved deep bays and gulfs into the long coastline. Greece has been a seafaring nation for centuries, and Greece is very well known for its shipping industry.
More than three thousand years ago, the Greek people developed a very sophisticated society. They have a great civilization, one of the greatest that the Western would have ever seen. Greek architecture, thinking and art influenced other languages, including English. For example, the English words alphabet, democracy, and arithmetic come from Greek.
Today Greece is one of the most popular nations with the tourists who visit Europe. Thousands of people are attracted to the country because of its beautiful scenery, magnificent ancient buildings, and its excellent summer weather.
小题1:A good title for this reading passage is _______
| A．The Earliest Civilizations | B．The Influence of the Sea on Greece. |
| C．The Small but Important Nation of Greece | D．The Ionian Sea |

When the saver(储蓄者) needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead he sells his shares through a stockbroker(证券经纪人) to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local organizations. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones and railways, this country could not work. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than it is raised through taxes alone. The government, local organizations and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance(给…提供资金) major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another his new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
小题1:The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _______.
| A．exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange |
| B．raised by the selling of shares in the companies |
| C．repaid to its original owners as soon as possible |
| D．invested in different companies in the Stock Exchange |
| A．unable to provide for the needs of the population |
| B．financed wholly by rates and taxes |
| C．in constant need of financial support |
| D．run by the government or local organizations |
| A．to make certain everybody saves money |
| B．to borrow as much money as they wish |
| C．to make certain everybody lends money to them |
| D．to raise money to finance new development |
| A．give more money with | B．provide less money with |
| C．borrow less money with | D．make more money with |
Of course, many senior citizens are happy with retirement. They have time to spend with their families or enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time, others do volunteer(志愿) work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young, people to get started in new business. Many retired citizens also belong to “Golden Age” groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many chances for retirees.
American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts(折扣) in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services such as free courses, food service, and help with housework. Retired citizens are a rapidly growing percentage of the population. This part of the population is very important and we must meet their needs. After all, every citizen will be a senior citizen some day.
小题1:The author believes that work first became important to Americans because of _______.
| A．religion | B．economy | C．psychology | D．family |
| A．money and check | B．senior and junior |
| C．work and retirement | D．Protestants and Americans |
| A．get Social Security checks | B．feel productive |
| C．enjoy themselves | D．be religious |
| A．two | B．four | C．five | D．three |
These were young Englishmen who had either never given up the old faith, or having done so, had returned to it and felt called to become priests. There being, of course, no Catholic seminaries left in England, they went abroad, at first quite easily, later with difficulty and danger, to study in the English colleges at Douai or Rome: the former established for the training of ordinary or secular clergy, the other for the member of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as Jesuits, a new Order established by St, Ignatius Loyola same thirty years before. The seculars came first; they achieved a success which even the most eager could hardly have expected. Cool-minded and well-informed men, like Cecil, had long surmised that the conversion of the English people to Protestantism was for from complete; many—Cecil thought even the majority—had conformed out of fear, self-interest or—possibly the commonest reason of all—sheer bewilderment at the rapid changes in doctrine and forms of worship imposed on them in so short a time. Thus it happened that the missionaries found a welcome, not only with the families who had secretly offered them hospitality if they came, but with many others whom their first hosts invited to meet them or passed them on to. They would land at the ports in disguise, as merchants, courtiers or what not, professing some plausible business in the country, and make by devious may for their first house of refuge. There they would administer the Sacraments and preach to the house holds and to such of the neighbors as their hosts trusted and presently go on to some other locality to which they were directed or from which they received a call.

Yet some social and cultural conditions served to empower women. During the Elizabethan era (1558—1603) the culture was dominated by a powerful Queen, who provided an impressive female example though she left scant cultural space for other women. Elizabethan women writers began to produce original texts but were occupied chiefly with translation. In the 17th century, however, various circumstances enabled women to write original texts in some numbers. For one thing, some counterweight to patriarchy was provided by female communities—mothers and daughters, extended kinship networks, close female friends, the separate court of Queen Anne (King James’ consort) and her often oppositional masques and political activities. For another, most of these women had a reasonably good education (modern languages, history, literature, religion, music, occasionally Latin) and some apparently found in romances and histories more expansive terms for imagining women’s lives. Also, representation of vigorous and rebellious female characters in literature and especially on the stage no doubt helped to undermine any monolithic social construct of women’s mature and role.
Most important, perhaps, was the radical potential inherent in the Protestant insistence on every Christian’s immediate relationship with God and primary responsibility to follow his or her individual conscience. There is plenty of support in St Paul’s epistles and elsewhere in the Bible for patriarchy and a wife’s subjection to her husband, but some texts (notably Galatians 3:28) inscribe a very different politics, promoting women’s spiritual equality: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Jesus Christ.” Such texts encouraged some women to claim the support of God the supreme patriarch against the various earthly patriarchs who claimed to stand toward them in his stead.
There is also the gap or slippage between ideology and common experience. English women throughout the 17th century exercised a good deal of accrual power: as managers of estates in their husbands’ absences at court or on military and diplomatic missions; as members of guilds; as wives and mothers who apex during the English Civil War and Interregnum (1640-60) as the execution of the King and the attendant disruption of social hierarchies led many women to seize new roles—as preachers, as prophetesses, as deputies for exiled royalist husbands, as writers of religious and political tracts.
