Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;D
解析：

(1)在文中第三段中提及的贏得世博會(huì)舉辦權(quán)是一個(gè)victory,在段落中是“成功、成就”的意思，B選項(xiàng)success也是“成就、成功”的意思，故選B. A是“驚奇”，C是“奇跡”，D是“傳奇”，都不符合原文的意思。 (2)在文中第二段提及上海是通過(guò)擊敗俄羅斯、墨西哥、波蘭和韓國(guó)這些對(duì)手取得舉辦權(quán)的，俄羅斯在歐洲，上海和韓國(guó)在亞洲，墨西哥在北美洲，波蘭在歐洲，故該題選D。 (3)在文中第8段中提及中國(guó)是第一個(gè)獲得世博會(huì)舉辦權(quán)的發(fā)展中國(guó)家，而不是亞洲國(guó)家，所以應(yīng)選C. A項(xiàng)在第6段中有同義的敘述It's usually held every five years and lasts for six months, B項(xiàng)在第7段中有提及The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered the three top international events in the world, D項(xiàng)在第9段中有同義的敘述。像attract more foreign investment及bring visitors to Shanghai。 (4)本文中A、C、D三項(xiàng)均有提及，而B項(xiàng)顯然能夠說(shuō)明中國(guó)正在扮演一個(gè)更重要的角色。D項(xiàng)區(qū)別其余三項(xiàng)就在于世界杯的舉辦權(quán)還未實(shí)現(xiàn)，所以不能說(shuō)明中國(guó)正在扮演一個(gè)更重要的角色，故選D。
