Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Committee(IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders- Osaka, Paris, Toronto and Istanbul. Why does it take so long to prepare? Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects- the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 26. Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts _ before the games are really held. A. two years B. eight years C. one year D. ten years 27. Beijing was one of the _ bidders for the 2008 games. A. four B. five C. ten D. three 28. The World Cup 2002 was held in _. A. Japan B. South Korea C. China D. A and B 29. What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid? _. A. The extension of the underground B. The improvement of the airport C. The building of the new motorways D. All of the above 30. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? A. Because it has a major effect on the economy B. Because it brings international prestige to the country C. Because the host cities are permanently improved D. All of the above 短文理解 2 Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, -it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement； London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London(83% and 58% respectively)； 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travellers” without leaving their hometown. 31. Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraelis statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is _. A. part of the world B. even larger than some countries in the world C. not a nation at all D. a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity 32. London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that _. A. within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups B. Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. C. London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries. D. many young people are immigrants from different backgrounds. 33. Ethnic minority groups will make up_ of the London population in the future. A. 3.8% B. 40% C. 39% D. 36% 34. The last paragraph mainly tells us in London _. A. young people are from different backgrounds B. young people are raised in a multicultural environment C. young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures D. young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified cultures 35. The passage mainly deals with _. A. the advantage of hybrid cultures in London B. the composition of the population in London C. the cultural diversity in London D. the contribution made by the new arrivals to London 阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容判断其后的句子是否正确（ T）、错误（ F），还是文字中没 有涉及相关信息（ NG）。 短文理解 3 My grandfather was a very interesting man. He died when I was 11, but I remember he used to tell me stories about his early life. He told me one about how he used to race dogs. They raced greyhound, a very fast type of dog. My grandfather had a dog that was very fast and usually won the races. The men used to bet on the dogs and try to win money. One day before a race, a friend of my grandfathers suggested that they bet on a different dog and make my grandfathers dog lose the race. My grandfather had no job, so this seemed an easy way to make money. On the day of the race, my grandfather and his friend fed the dog lots of cakes so it wouldnt want to run.
