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

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：該句為主從復(fù)合句。句中Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada為whenever引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句；because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours為because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句。譯文：例如，奧運(yùn)會(huì)無(wú)論在美國(guó)或者在加拿大何時(shí)舉辦，美國(guó)電視網(wǎng)絡(luò)都愿意為電視轉(zhuǎn)播權(quán)支付特別高的費(fèi)用，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢栽谧罴延^(guān)看時(shí)間直播受歡迎的(體育)賽事。1B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第一段主要介紹了產(chǎn)生主辦城市的規(guī)則，根據(jù)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，國(guó)際奧委會(huì)投票。如果沒(méi)有得票最少的城市被淘汰，則投票繼續(xù)，直到確定主辦城市。據(jù)此可知，得票數(shù)最多的城市由國(guó)際奧委會(huì)確定為奧運(yùn)會(huì)主辦城市，故B項(xiàng)正確。2D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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，奧運(yùn)會(huì)無(wú)論在美國(guó)或者在加拿大何時(shí)舉辦，美國(guó)電視網(wǎng)絡(luò)都愿意為電視轉(zhuǎn)播權(quán)支付特別高的費(fèi)用，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢栽谧罴延^(guān)看時(shí)間直播受歡迎的(體育)賽事，故D項(xiàng)正確。3C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段可知，主辦城市能獲得奧運(yùn)會(huì)電視轉(zhuǎn)播、企業(yè)贊助等收入，故主辦城市可能會(huì)獲得許多資金，故C項(xiàng)正確。A、D項(xiàng)與文中最后一段的“If the financial.large debts”內(nèi)容不符；根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句“Although.the Olympics can be financially risky”可知，盡管許多城市通過(guò)舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)獲得了大量資金，但奧運(yùn)會(huì)可能存在財(cái)政風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。4B考查標(biāo)題判斷。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了申辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的流程：先向國(guó)際奧委會(huì)提交提案，國(guó)際奧委會(huì)根據(jù)規(guī)則和實(shí)際情況投票選擇主辦城市，一旦確定主辦城市，則該城市應(yīng)積極準(zhǔn)備。故B項(xiàng)最適合作本文的標(biāo)題。二、單句語(yǔ)法填空1Some people say that classical music _(associate) only with old people.答案：is associatedbe associated with . “與有關(guān)”。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 . “把與區(qū)分/辨別開(kāi)”。4We must always bear in mind _China is a big country with a huge population.答案：thatbear in mind that . “記住”。5The service offers young people _(practice) advice on finding a job.答案：practical此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾其后的名詞advice。practical “實(shí)用的；實(shí)際的；實(shí)踐的”。6We all have an _(expect) that he can pass the driving test next week.答案：expectation由空前的冠詞可知應(yīng)填名詞。7In my opinion, only by facing difficulties bravely and _ (seize) opportunities can one succeed.答案：seizing該句為“only狀語(yǔ)”位于句首引起倒裝的句式。face與seize為and連接的兩個(gè)并列成分，且均作by的賓語(yǔ)，故由facing可知應(yīng)填seizing。8It was not until she got home _ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.答案：that該句為含有not until的強(qiáng)調(diào)句。由該句型“It is/wasnot until .that其他”可知，應(yīng)填that。9She _(tap) me on the shoulder but I didnt feel it.答案：tapped由but連接并列成分可知，設(shè)空處動(dòng)詞在句中作謂語(yǔ)；且后面并列句的謂語(yǔ)為didnt .，所以空格處也應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，應(yīng)填tapped。10Prices of daily goods _ (buy) through a puter can be lower than store prices.答案：bought過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)在句中作后置定語(yǔ)修飾goods。三、完形填空。Im sitting at the
