资料：China's Fosun has offered to buy almost 17 percent of Millennium BCP, Portugal's largest listed bank, and potentially lift its stake to 30 percent, following a having in its share price in the year to date.BCP said in a regulatory filing late on Saturday that Fosun Industrial Holdings had offered to pay ?0.02 a share, equal to Friday's closing price, in a private placement of 16.7 percent of the bank's share capital. According to the filing, Fosun was also considering increasing its shareholding to “20-30 percent”.Fosun, one of China most acquisitive companies, made its Millennium BCP offer a week after it agreed to pay $1.1bn for 86 percent of Indian drugmaker Gland Pharma. In recent years, it has also snapped up France's Club Med and the top Portuguese insurer in Europe.Analysts deem BCP to be in need of capital and vulnerable to a takeover after its share price fell from ?0.05 earlier this year, pushing its market value to a little over ?1.1bn.In a recent report on Portugal's undercapitalisted banks, which are heavily burdened by bad debts, Barclays said BCP could need a capital increase of about ?2bn.On Friday, the bank posted a ?197.3m loss for the first half of 2016, down from a profit of ?240.7 for the same period last year.

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.”Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A.IndiGo’s order for Airbus’s new engine-option A320s was the first firm order for the updated airplanes.B.Airbus delivered more planes than Boeing in 2006.C.2009 saw demand for Boeing’s planes fall but not Airbus’s.D.Airbus was able to stay ahead of Boeing in number of orders throughout the year 2010.

资料：A new Chinese-led international development bank announced its first four loans on Saturday, pledging to lend $509 million for projects to spread electric power in rural Bangladesh, upgrade living conditions in slums in Indonesia, and improve roads in Pakistan and Tajikistan. At the first of the annual general meetings of in institution, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the bank’s president, Jin Liqun, said the projects were financially sound and environmentally friendly and had been accepted by the people in the project areas.The road in Tajikistan is just three miles long, but it will help clear traffic congestion on an important trading route near the capital, Dushanbe. A $100 million loan to Pakistan is for 40 miles of highway in Punjab Province that would complete the last section of national artery, the M-4, the bank said.Three of the projects are being financed with other institutions-the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European bank for Reconstruction and Development-an approach that allowed the new bank to begin the projects quickly. The bank’s $165 million loan to expand electricity in rural areas of Bangladesh is its only stand-alone project. By financing projects with long-established institutions, the Beijing-based bank was able to move quickly because work on meeting environmental standards and procurement policies had been completed, staff members at the bank said.Although the new bank was China’s idea, it is intended to operate as an international bank dedicated to improving the basic structures and facilities needed to stimulate development across Asia, Mr. Jin said at a news conference on Saturday. Unlike the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank places less emphasis on the reduction of poverty, he said. The bank “ was born with the birthmark of China, but its upbringing is international,” Mr. Jin said. Referring to the three other institutions that will finance the projects, he said, “we can work wonderfully together.” The new bank is being watched closely. The United States refused to join when it was offered membership in 2014. Japan has also not sought membership in the bank. But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture, the Bretton Woods system established under the leadership of the United States after World WarⅡ. In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington, largely by agreeing to choose projects that have already been approved by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank. He has also emphasized that the new bank will be more streamlined and strive to be “lean, green and clean.” Britain was the most eager of the Western democracies to join the bank, and it broke ranks with the United States and became a member in the fall of 2014. Other members of the European Union, including France and Germany, rushed in after Britain. The withdrawal of Britain from the European Union is not expected to affect its relationship with the bank, Mr. Jin said. “ I believe the United Kingdom will continue to play an important role in the development of the bank, ”he said at the news conference. Asked if he believed that Britain’s decision showed that the old guard was crumbling quicker than he expected, Mr. Jin diplomatically replied that he had detected no such..（缺失） Two dozen countries have expressed interest in joining the bank, and they sent observers to the two-day meeting, Mr. Jin said.

资料：China's Fosun has offered to buy almost 17 percent of Millennium BCP, Portugal's largest listed bank, and potentially lift its stake to 30 percent, following a having in its share price in the year to date.BCP said in a regulatory filing late on Saturday that Fosun Industrial Holdings had offered to pay ?0.02 a share, equal to Friday's closing price, in a private placement of 16.7 percent of the bank's share capital. According to the filing, Fosun was also considering increasing its shareholding to “20-30 percent”.Fosun, one of China most acquisitive companies, made its Millennium BCP offer a week after it agreed to pay $1.1bn for 86 percent of Indian drugmaker Gland Pharma. In recent years, it has also snapped up France's Club Med and the top Portuguese insurer in Europe.Analysts deem BCP to be in need of capital and vulnerable to a takeover after its share price fell from ?0.05 earlier this year, pushing its market value to a little over ?1.1bn.In a recent report on Portugal's undercapitalisted banks, which are heavily burdened by bad debts, Barclays said BCP could need a capital increase of about ?2bn.On Friday, the bank posted a ?197.3m loss for the first half of 2016, down from a profit of ?240.7 for the same period last year. But it said that stress tests by the European Banking Authority had shown it had sufficient capital to withstand a financial crisis. Under the tests, BCP had a common equity tier one ratio-a key measure of capital strength-of 6.1 per cent under stressed conditions, above the 5.5 per cent threshold seen as the minimum adequate level.Fosun has now offered to subscribe to a private placement, reserved solely for the Chinese group, that would give it a 16.7 percent stake in BCP. It said it was “also considering increasing its stake through secondary market acquisitions or in the context of future capital increases” to up to 30 percent.This offer, which is subject to regulatory approval by Portuguese and EU authorities, is conditional on Fosun being able to appoint at least two of the 20 BCP board members, and up to five members in the event of increasing its stake.BCP said it recognized “the strategic potential” of Fosun's offer, saying it would swiftly proceed with an analysis of its “many positive aspects” before making a recommendation to its board of directors.Is Fosun likely to succeed in buying 16.7 percent of BCP’s share capital?A.Yes.B.No.C.It’s up to Portuguese and EU authorities.D.It depends on whether Fosun is able to appoint at least two of the 20 BCP board members, and up to five members in the event of increasing its stake.

In recent years, it has also snapped up France's Club Med and the top Portuguese insurer in Europe.Analysts deem BCP to be in need of capital and vulnerable to a takeover after its share price fell from ?0.05 earlier this year, pushing its market value to a little over ?1.1bn.In a recent report on Portugal's undercapitalisted banks, which are heavily burdened by bad debts, Barclays said BCP could need a capital increase of about ?2bn.On Friday, the bank posted a ?197.3m loss for the first half of 2016, down from a profit of ?240.7 for the same period last year. But it said that stress tests by the European Banking Authority had shown it had sufficient capital to withstand a financial crisis. Under the tests, BCP had a common equity tier one ratio-a key measure of capital strength-of 6.1 per cent under stressed conditions, above the 5.5 per cent threshold seen as the minimum adequate level.Fosun has now offered to subscribe to a private placement, reserved solely for the Chinese group, that would give it a 16.7 percent stake in BCP. It said it was “also considering increasing its stake through secondary market acquisitions or in the context of future capital increases” to up to 30 percent.This offer, which is subject to regulatory approval by Portuguese and EU authorities, is conditional on Fosun being able to appoint at least two of the 20 BCP board members, and up to five members in the event of increasing its stake.BCP said it recognized “the strategic potential” of Fosun's offer, saying it would swiftly proceed with an analysis of its “many positive aspects” before making a recommendation to its board of directors.How much has BCP’s share price dropped from earlier this year?A.?0.03B.?0.02C.?0.05D.?0.025

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
资料：A new Chinese-led international development bank announced its first four loans on Saturday, pledging to lend $509 million for projects to spread electric power in rural Bangladesh, upgrade living conditions in slums in Indonesia, and improve roads in Pakistan and Tajikistan. At the first of the annual general meetings of in institution, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the bank’s president, Jin Liqun, said the projects were financially sound and environmentally friendly and had been accepted by the people in the project areas.The road in Tajikistan is just three miles long, but it will help clear traffic congestion on an important trading route near the capital, Dushanbe. A $100 million loan to Pakistan is for 40 miles of highway in Punjab Province that would complete the last section of national artery, the M-4, the bank said.Three of the projects are being financed with other institutions-the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European bank for Reconstruction and Development-an approach that allowed the new bank to begin the projects quickly. The bank’s $165 million loan to expand electricity in rural areas of Bangladesh is its only stand-alone project. By financing projects with long-established institutions, the Beijing-based bank was able to move quickly because work on meeting environmental standards and procurement policies had been completed, staff members at the bank said.Although the new bank was China’s idea, it is intended to operate as an international bank dedicated to improving the basic structures and facilities needed to stimulate development across Asia, Mr. Jin said at a news conference on Saturday. Unlike the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank places less emphasis on the reduction of poverty, he said. The bank “ was born with the birthmark of China, but its upbringing is international,” Mr. Jin said. Referring to the three other institutions that will finance the projects, he said, “we can work wonderfully together.” The new bank is being watched closely. The United States refused to join when it was offered membership in 2014. Japan has also not sought membership in the bank. But President Obama’s administration was mostly concerned that the bank would challenge the current development architecture, the Bretton Woods system established under the leadership of the United States after World WarⅡ. In the past year, Mr. Jin has worked to reassure Washington, largely by agreeing to choose projects that have already been approved by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank. He has also emphasized that the new bank will be more streamlined and strive to be “lean, green and clean.” Britain was the most eager of the Western democracies to join the bank, and it broke ranks with the United States and became a member in the fall of 2014. Other members of the European Union, including France and Germany, rushed in after Britain. The withdrawal of Britain from the European Union is not expected to affect its relationship with the bank, Mr. Jin said. “ I believe the United Kingdom will continue to play an important role in the development of the bank, ”he said at the news conference. Asked if he believed that Britain’s decision showed that the old guard was crumbling quicker than he expected, Mr. Jin diplomatically replied that he had detected no such..（缺失） Two dozen countries have expressed interest in joining the bank, and they sent observers to the two-day meeting, Mr. Jin said. The new members would come from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and could join as early as （缺失）year.About the four projects, which one of the following statements is false? （ ）A.The project will only improve road in Tajikistan by three miles but it will do great help.B.Local people welcome the projects.C.The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank can start the projects quickly with the finance of other institutions.D.The project in Bangladesh is also financed with other institutions.
