The word’s largest aircraft made its public debut last week at Europe’s biggest factory, a purpose built assembly line in Toulouse, souther, n France.The Airbus A380 will have 50 per cent more floor space than American rival Boeing’s 747 Jumbo, with room for duty-free shops, restaurants and even a sauna.This new arrival is expected to change the face of air travel.
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.

    3. C.

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。
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。

Barcelona December 22,2007.

Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (欧元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.

El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.

Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.

The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.

The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.

Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.

The underlined word “windfall” in paragraph two probably means         .

       A.fat gift            B.unexpected fortune

       C.big feast          D.wind and snow

Who is likely to win the full prize in El Gordo?

       A.People who paid 200 euros for the wole group of series.

       B.People who bough tickets with the magic number 06381.

       C.People who lived in a town in the northwestern Asturias.

According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .

       A.host the draw of lottery live on TV

       B.offer a show of three – and – a – half hours

       C.perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration

       D.help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests

What can we learn about the history of lotteries in Spain?

       A.Most of the money people spent on lotteries goes in the cost.

       B.The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.

       C.Lottery numbers matching significant dates help people win every year.
