【題目】Walt Disney and Shanghai government have formally agreed to open up a Disney theme park in China's commercial capital.
Just days after the World Expo was closed, they agreed on plans for a joint venture(合資企業(yè))to manage the project, expected to cover nearly eight square miles for the entire resort(度假勝地), the city government said in a statement. The cost is reportedly estimated at 25 billion yuan.
Plans call for the theme park to be a “strong international tourism resort” with a pleasant, low-carbon environment, the city said.A joint venture between local companies and Disney will be responsible for construction, management and operation of the Disney theme park,it said.
Some villagers were long ago moved off farmland in Chuansha, a part of Pudong district near the city's main international airport,to make way for the park.
Disney issued a statement confirming its discussions with the Shanghai government, saying, “We can confirm the statement from the Shanghai government that we have taken another step forward in the approval process.”
But the company said it was still awaiting final approval of the joint venture by the central government and completion of necessary procedures.
The sixmonthlong World Expo,which ended on Sunday,drew a record of 72 million visitors,mostly Chinese tourists.That event made it necessary for the city to build nearly a dozen new subway lines,new highways,airport upgrades and other modern facilities.
With the Disneyland project due to start,the city appears likely to continue its building boom(激增).
The agreement on Friday came exactly a year after China's natioal planning agency approved the plans for the parka major step toward getting the project started.
The park will give Shanghai,the mainland's main financial and commercial centre,a new showcase.While the city is one of China's most modern and wealthy cities,it has relatively few big historic landmarks compared with ancient capitals like Beijing and Xi'an.
Disney has said the Shanghai resort will include a “MagicKingdomstyle theme park with characteristics tailored to the Shanghai region.”
Disney has been expanding its presence in mainland China after opening a theme park in Hong Kong in 2005.That venue, which has suffered from disappointing attendance,is in the midst of Disney’s expansion as it intends to compete with the future theme park in Shanghai.

A.The cost is more than 25 billion yuan.

A.The construction of the theme park is in process.
B.They need approval from the central government.
C.The joint venture has completed necessary procedures.
D.Disney didn't think their discussions with the Shanghai government was helpful.

【題目】Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury brand, continues to show off ideas for the future.
The Q80 Inspiration here in Paris is an excellent piece of work, perhaps a concept elegant enough to make us forget that Infiniti’s former Hong Kong-based president, Johan de Nysschen, moved to take over General Motors’ Cadillac car brand in July and Infiniti chairman Andy Palmer is the new CEO at Aston Martin, the British luxury car brand.
The Q80, if it becomes reality, will be brought to market by Infiniti’s new boss, former BMW (another famous car brand )executive Roland Krüger. He should focus on this, at least until he is head-hunted to another company.
The Q80 Inspiration is a low and sexy four-door fastback, and it is also a showcase for technology – from autonomous driving to eco-friendly power trains. Here in Paris, the Infiniti people say the hybrid drive in this concept suggest exactly where the brand is going in the future.
The company says the Q80 speaks to how Infiniti plans to pull people into more expensive cars – cars that compete with the Porsche Panamera, for instance.
Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director, said the car “delivers feminine elegance and muscular menace in equal measure and strikes big in terms of styling, craftsmanship, choice of materials and attention to detail.”
Most importantly, for luxury cars buyers who are increasingly puzzled by all the technology, the designers focused on making things simple.
“There is a tendency with modern design that every time you add interior features and technology you add complexity,” said Albaisa, pointing to the concept’s easy-to –understand –and –operate infotainment interface.
As for power, the Q80 Inspiration gets 550 horsepower from a twin turbocharged 3.0-litre V-6 combined with a hybrid electric power train. Fuel economy could be as good as 5.5 litres/100 km.
【1】Who will take charge of the launch of the Q80 Inspiration?
A. Andy Palmer B. Alfonso Albaisa
C. Johan de Nysschen D. Roland Krüger
【2】 In the future Infiniti will pay more attention to ______.
A. details B. craftsmanship
C. energy conservation D. materials
【3】The Q80 Inspiration _______.
A. has been produced in large numbers
B. has autonomous driving system
C. has double doors
D. has complicated operating features
【4】 How many car brands are mentioned in the passage?
A.3 B. 4 C. 5 D.6
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. An introduction of the Q80 Inspiration.
B. A promotion of The Q80 Inspiration
C. The future of the Q80 Inspiration
D. The history of the Q80 Inspiration

【題目】Five Questions to Ask to Detect a Lie
Are you being lied to? Find out how you can tell.
How is the person speaking?
Although a change in voice can be the tip-off to a lie, experts say that to be sure, you should also pay attention to a person’s speech rate and breathing pattern. ___【1】__
What is the person saying?
Liars tend to avoid exclusionary words like “but,” “nor,” “except,” and “whereas,” because they have trouble with complex thought processes. __【2】___ In their attempts to distance themselves psychologically from their tall tales, liars will tend to communicate using fewer personal pronouns.
Is his face giving it away?
You may think disguising your true feelings is easily accomplished with the help of a smile, but the expressions that flash across your face will give away what you’re really thinking—whether you know it or not. __【3】___ These clues are often so difficult to detect that even trained experts have trouble discerning them.
How is the person smiling?
A smile can sometimes mask a person’s true feelings. ___【4】___ You may be able to detect the emotions he or she is trying to hide—such as fear, anger, and disgust. A true smile will incorporate both a person’s lips and eyes.
___【5】__
It’s more important to examine a person’s entire demeanor, as there’s no one feature that’s apt to give away a liar. Honesty is characterized by features that are in sync with one another—so besides posture, note the fit between face, body, voice, and speech.
A. Does the body language follow the story?
B. Is your subject behaving uncharacteristically?
C. Liars are less likely to use the words “I,” “me,” and “mine.”
D. You should weigh rate of speech, tone of voice, posture, and hand gestures.
E. Pay close attention to how a person smiles as well as other facial movements.
F. Experts advise paying close attention to the micro-expressions that a face can’t hide.
