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

【解析】

試題解析：

1.主旨大意題。雖然各項(xiàng)工作難度很大，北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)面臨挑戰(zhàn)(A項(xiàng))，組織工作有各種困難(C項(xiàng))，但這都是全文談?wù)摰囊粋�(gè)方面。從文中所給的黑體字標(biāo)題看，全文所述都是奧運(yùn)會(huì)的籌備工作。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.文中清楚地談到了賽事的電視轉(zhuǎn)播、向游人介紹北京人文歷史等。雖然文中沒(méi)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(dòng)、記者采訪和為游客服務(wù)等活動(dòng)時(shí)，天氣問(wèn)題一定會(huì)考慮到。故只有D項(xiàng)所述(運(yùn)動(dòng)員的比賽習(xí)慣)沒(méi)考慮到。

3.北京的文化展示活動(dòng)會(huì)貫穿奧運(yùn)會(huì)全程，而不是will be held shortly after the Olympic Games，排除A；3萬(wàn)人的采訪隊(duì)伍，沒(méi)有比較，不能斷定是“最多的”，排除C項(xiàng)；在共同主辦城市不舉辦文化活動(dòng)的敘述也不符合事實(shí)，排除D項(xiàng)；文中談到奧運(yùn)會(huì)期間，一些外國(guó)藝術(shù)團(tuán)體也可以來(lái)京演出，故選B項(xiàng)。

4.劃線單詞“domestic visitors”與下文的“oversea visitors”對(duì)應(yīng)，故可譯為“國(guó)內(nèi)游客”，即“visitors from the host country”。.www
