【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] Despite its enormous size, the Airbus A380 still manages to look graceful. The double-decker plane that can carry over 550 passengers dwarfs all other commercial aircrafts. Wings are produced here in North Wales and traveled by land and sea for assembly in France. Before the Airbus A380 was born, the Boeing 747 Jumbo was the world's biggest passenger plane, but no longer. The A380 is as high as an 8-storey building and the take-off thrust from the plane's four engines equals 2500 family cars. Without seats, it can contain 10 squash courts. But the European Airbus will soon have an American rival, Boeing 787 Dream Liner, which is smaller, can fly further, and isn't restricted to large airports. These aircrafts represent extraordinary technological breakthrough, reducing fuel emissions by about 20% and offering both airlines and passengers much greater flexibility in their long-hauled journeys. The A380 may offer shops and a casino or even a gym so that its good value seats will win the airline battle. Critics of the new aircraft including environmentalists say it might be more fuel efficient per passenger than other jets, but the benefits that we will get from it are a drop in the ocean compared to the huge climate emissions from aviation. And aviation is the fastest growing source of climate-changing gases both in Britain and worldwide. Where is the Airbus A380 assembled?
