eliminated(淘汰)，the voting continues，until a majority winner is determined.Typically，the Games are awarded several years in advance，allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games，the IOC considers a number of factors，and chiefly among them is which organizing mittee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively.The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games.For instance，Tokyo，the host of the 1964 Summer Games，and Beijing，that of the 2008 Games，were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia.Because of the growing importance of television worldwide，the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host citys time zone.Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada，for example，American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded，it is the duty of the local organizing mitteenot the IOC or the NOC of the host citys country to provide them with money.This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入)，and corporate sponsorships，tickets sales，and other smaller revenue sources.In many cases there is also direct government support.Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games，the Olympics can be financially risky.If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected，the city will be left with large debts.1_ will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.AA city that submits a proposalBA majority winner in votingCA city that has perfect time zoneDOne that hasnt hosted the Games2If the Games take place in Canada，American television

OlympicsCHow to host the Olympic GamesDThe Olympic Games【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了申办奥运会的流程。【难句分析】Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada，for example，American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada为whenever引导的时间状语从句；because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours为because引导的原因状语从句。译文：例如，奥运会无论在美国或者在加拿大何时举办，美国电视网络都愿意为电视转播权支付特别高的费用，因为他们可以在最佳观看时间直播受欢迎的(体育)赛事。1B考查细节理解。第一段主要介绍了产生主办城市的规则，根据第一段第二、三句“After all proposals have been submitted，the IOC votes.If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰)，the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined”可知，在所有提案提交后，国际奥委会投票。如果没有得票最少的城市被淘汰，则投票继续，直到确定主办城市。据此可知，得票数最多的城市由国际奥委会确定为奥运会主办城市，故B项正确。2D考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada.because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours”可知，奥运会无论在美国或者在加拿大何时举办，美国电视网络都愿意为电视转播权支付特别高的费用，因为他们可以在最佳观看时间直播受欢迎的(体育)赛事，故D项正确。3C考查推理判断。根据第三段可知，主办城市能获得奥运会电视转播、企业赞助等收入，故主办城市可能会获得许多资金，故C项正确。A、D项与文中最后一段的“If the financial.large debts”内容不符；根据第三段倒数第二句“Although.the Olympics can be financially risky”可知，尽管许多城市通过举办奥运会获得了大量资金，但奥运会可能存在财政风险，故B项错误。4B考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了申办奥运会的流程：先向国际奥委会提交提案，国际奥委会根据规则和实际情况投票选择主办城市，一旦确定主办城市，则该城市应积极准备。故B项最适合作本文的标题。二、单句语法填空1Some people say that classical music _(associate) only with old people.答案：is associatedbe associated with . “与有关”。2Though we are living a better life, I cant bear _(see) food thrown away.答案：seeingcant bear doing . “不能忍受做某事”。3What was it that distinguished her _her classmates?答案：fromdistinguish . from . “把与区分/辨别开”。4We must always bear in mind _China is a big country with a huge population.答案：thatbear in mind that . “记住”。5The service offers young people _(practice) advice on finding a job.答案：practical此处应用形容词修饰其后的名词advice。practical “实用的；实际的；实践的”。6We all have an _(expect) that he can pass the driving test next week.答案：expectation由空前的冠词可知应填名词。7In my opinion, only by facing difficulties bravely and _ (seize) opportunities can one succeed.答案：seizing该句为“only状语”位于句首引起倒装的句式。face与seize为and连接的两个并列成分，且均作by的宾语，故由facing可知应填seizing。8It was not until she got home _ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.答案：that该句为含有not until的强调句。由该句型“It is/wasnot until .that其他”可知，应填that。9She _(tap) me on the shoulder but I didnt feel it.答案：tapped由but连接并列成分可知，设空处动词在句中作谓语；且后面并列句的谓语为didnt .，所以空格处也应用一般过去时，应填tapped。10Prices of daily goods _ (buy) through a puter can be lower than store prices.答案：bought过去分词短语在句中作后置定语修饰goods。三、完形填空。Im sitting at the airport watching people in the last minutes before their loved ones arrive or depart.A woman is running
