资料:Virgin America helped Airbus pip Boeing at the post to retain its crown as the world’s largest commercial plane maker.Airbus trailed its arch-rival Boeing in number of orders for most of 2010 but moved ahead after a flurry of sales at the end of the year. At the end of December, Virgin America, Richard Branson’s upstart US airline, ordered 30 of the updated version of Airbus’s A320 model. Airbus has promised the A320 with the new engine option will cut fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 15% compared with the existing models, figures disputed by Boeing and some analysts. The $5.1nd(£ 3.2nd) contract was the first order for the updated airplanes.The Virgin deal capped a year when Airbus took orders for 644 airplanes worth $84nd at list price. Boeing won 625 gross orders with a list price of $70nd. It was held back by delays to its 787 Dreamliner.Both Airbus and Boeing are recovering strongly from an industry recession that saw combined demand for their planes fall by more than two-thirds in 2009. White there were still dozens of plane cancellations in 2010, and both firms have struggled with delays, Airbus secured more than twice the number of airplane orders in 2010 that it had anticipated.Tom Enders, chief executive, said:”2010 has been better than we expected. We will look at 2011 more optimistically. Growth, especially in aviation, is back, and this is largely due to emerging markets. Asia, the Middle East, that’s certainly been the focus.”Last week Airbus announced a $16nd deal with Indigo for 180 airplanes, the largest single order for aircraft in commercial aviation history. The order includes 30 of Airbus’s original A320 single-aisle jets and 150 with Airbus’s new engine-option A320s.Airbus delivered more planes than its US rival for the eighth consecutive year. Its total of 510 deliveries, up from 498 in 2009, topped the 500 mark for the first time at Airbus. Last year the company sold its 10,000th plane in its 40-year history Boeing deliveries fell by 4% to 462 airplanes from 481.John Leahy, Airbus sales chief, said: “There figures show the economy is improving. We have dodged the bullet on a double-dip recession. Aviation is growing again because of Asia, low-cost carriers emerging markets. The only negative on the horizon is the fuel price.”According to Airbus, the updated version of its A320 model is different from the original model in that________.A.it has multiple options when it comes to its engineB.it is a single-aisle jetC.it is more fuel-efficient and environmental-friendlyD.it has a more powerful engine

共用题干Some Things We Know About LanguageMany things about language are a mystery,and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.First,we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language.Second,there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,but the languages they speak are not primitive .In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.This has not always been well understood;indeed,the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense .There are,or were,hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally,we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical teatures change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rap-idly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language. The author has used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are______.A: just as old as some well-known languagesB: just as sophisticated as some well-known languagesC: more developed than some well-known languagesD: more complex than some well-known languages

问答题Practice 5  Dell says the problem is that it dropped prices too much. But deeper, more threatening forces are also now at play.  The first is the resurgence of rivals, which have caught up with Dell’s low price model. By driving prices down, Dell has unintentionally cut costs for its rivals too. “The supply chain has become as standardized as the components—the money has been wrung out,” explains an expert. Dell, by not working through retail outlets, is still more efficient, but the cost benefits that this once brought have been whittled away.  The second factor hurting Dell is that growth in the computer business is coming from the consumer market and emerging countries rather than the corporate market, in which Dell sells around 85% of its machines. Increasing sales to consumers is difficult for Dell because individuals tend to want to see and touch computers before buying them. They also like to be able to return the machine easily if it breaks. Dell’s lack of retail presence, once ballyhooed as a benefit, has turned into grave disadvantage.  A third problem facing Dell is its exclusive use of Intel chips rather than lower-priced ones made by Intel’s sworn rivals, AMD. This arrangement lets Dell buy chips inexpensively and benefit from Intel’s generous co-marketing programmes. But it has started to harm Dell’s sales for higher margin computer servers.
