单选题 Which statement about the ARJ-21 Advanced Regional Jet is false?
  • a. It is the first homegrown Chinese jetliner for the 21st Century.
  • b. It is of medium range.
  • c. It should start to roll off the production line later this year.
  • d. None of the above.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] The first homegrown Chinese jetliner, the medium range ARJ-21 Advanced Regional Jet for the 21st Century, should start to roll off the production line later this year. China expects to sell 300 of the 100-seater planes to Chinese customers over the next 20 years. There are 71 firm orders from smaller domestic carriers, and China intends to target export markets in Asia, Africa and South America. China is the world's second largest market for planes outside the US. Sales are booming as the country's airlines race to meet the surged demand for domestic air travel. According to a leading London consultancy, Boeing currently leads the way in China with a 64% market share. But Airbus is closing the gap. Both companies have invested heavily there, manufacturing parts in the country transferring technical know-how. [难点] 选项全部来自于材料的第一句话“The first homegrown Chinese jetliner, the medium range ARJ-21 Advanced Regional Jet for the 21st Century, should start to roll off the production line later this year.”。由此，很快可以得出选项a、b、c均是正确表述，故选 d项。

  • a. China.
  • b. Russia.
  • c. The US.

【答案解析】[解析] 题目要求找出“最大的市场”，而原文是中国是除了美国外的第二大市场，做题时要细心。选项b和d在文中没有涉及，纯属干扰项。
单选题 Which statement about Airbus is false?
  • a. It currently leads the way in China with a 64% market share.
  • b. It has invested heavily in China.
  • c. It takes a 36% market share in China.
  • d. It manufactures parts and transfers technical know-how in China.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题有一定的难度，迷惑选项在于c，因为文中没有出现36%这个数字。但是只要细心听的话，从“Boeing currently leads the way in China with a 64%market share. But Airbus is closing the gap.”一句可知a选项说的是Boeing，而Airbus只是36%。选项b和d可以从原文的句子得出。
