Instead, mission 3 (control) heard nothing. They finally declared the Beagle 2 lost after months of silence. Many space scientists thought 4 crash-landed or broke up in the thin Martian atmosphere.

But now Beagle 2’s final resting place has been found. New images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed the spacecraft in its 5 (intend) landing region, an enormous impact basin near the Martian equator.

By now, investigators 6 (gather) enough information to piece together 7 probably went wrong: the probe’s solar panels seem to have only partially spread out, throttling(限制) Beagle 2’s power 8 preventing it from phoning home. Without contact with mission control, the probe could not perform any science .

However, the lander appears 9 (damage) and in good condition, and the remains of a parachute and an atmospheric-entry cover lie hundreds of meters away. Beagle 2 may now be considered a partial success, 10 (deliver) the United Kingdom a very late Christmas gift: the nation’s first soft landing on another planet.

【题目】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.

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 concepts 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.
