Hotel Giant Halts Jumeirah Project
DUBAI - France’s largest hospitality chain, Arnaud Hotels, has decided to postpone the construction of a one-billion-dollar hotel complex in Palm Jumeirah due to recent global economic problems. "The decision was made in an effort to secure the company’s funds since the crisis has been adversely affecting Dubai’s tourism industry," Arnaud Hotels spokesperson Sebastian Lefebvre said. Tourism in the Arab city has suffered heavy losses after several companies slashed jobs and real estate prices tumbled. Lefebvre said Arnaud Hotels will resume the construction once Dubai’s economic condition becomes stable. The spokesman, however, dismissed rumors about the suspension of ongoing expansion projects in London, Rome, and Madrid.
Why did Arnaud Hotels delay the construction plans?
选项 A、It could not find a suitable location.
B、It wants to conserve capital.
C、It is reducing its overseas workforce.
D、It was unable to get a building permit.
答案B
解析 本题是问Arnaud酒店为什么(Why)推迟了建设计划。根据题干的核心线索delay the construction plans，定位到原文中的“…Arnaud Hotels，has decided to postpone the construction of a one-billion—dollar hotel complex…”和“The decision was made in an effort to secure the company’s funds…”这两句话，可知Arnaud酒店决定推迟价值10亿美元的酒店综合设施建设计划，这一决定是为了保护公司的财政状况，因此选(B)It wants to conserve capital．。
