Question

30,000 journalists to cover the Olympics

More than 30,000 journalists are expected to come to Beijing during the Games.They pose a great challenge to the organizers in terms of how to meet their specific news coverage demands.

Two million visitors to test Beijing’s services

At least two million Chinese and half a million foreign tourists are expected to visit Beijing during the Olympics.Taking into account another 50,000 athletes and media，accommodation is a big challenge，too.122 Beijing­based star­class hotels were signed for the purpose in 2006.But how can they make 10,000 rooms available for domestic_visitors and 160,000—180,000 rooms for overseas visitors？The organizers are trying to find solutions to the problem in 2007.

Hot tickets，low prices

Answer 1

【答案】

1.B

2.D

3.B

4.C

【解析】

試題解析：

1.主旨大意題。雖然各項工作難度很大，北京奧運會面臨挑戰(A項)，組織工作有各種困難(C項)，但這都是全文談論的一個方面。從文中所給的黑體字標題看，全文所述都是奧運會的籌備工作。故選B項。

2.文中清楚地談到了賽事的電視轉播、向游人介紹北京人文歷史等。雖然文中沒有直接提到天氣情況，但可以想像到在安排比賽日程、文化活動、記者采訪和為游客服務等活動時，天氣問題一定會考慮到。故只有D項所述(運動員的比賽習慣)沒考慮到。

3.北京的文化展示活動會貫穿奧運會全程，而不是will be held shortly after the Olympic Games，排除A；3萬人的采訪隊伍，沒有比較，不能斷定是“最多的”，排除C項；在共同主辦城市不舉辦文化活動的敘述也不符合事實，排除D項；文中談到奧運會期間，一些外國藝術團體也可以來京演出，故選B項。

4.劃線單詞“domestic visitors”與下文的“oversea visitors”對應，故可譯為“國內游客”，即“visitors from the host country”。.www
