【題目】

On Sept 13.2017,for the first time in history, the International Olympic Committee (IOC奧組委) has decided to host cities at the same time.Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028.

“This is a win-win-win situation(情況) for Paris, Los Angeles and the IOC,” said IOC President(主席) Thomas Bach."These are two great cities from two great countries with a great Olympic history.”

Both cities are excited in bringing home the Games. It comes back to the US for the first time since(自從) the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and will be the third time that Los Angeles has hosted.

For Paris, the wait is longer.As the city that has hosted two Olympics before, it will host the event 100 years after its last Olympic Games.H also means Paris will become the second city to hold three Summer Olympic Games, after London and before Los Angeles.

However, the reason for the decision is that there were no other competitors (競爭對手) for the 2024 or 2028 Games In July, three of the five cities bidding for (申辦)the 2024 Olympics gave up because they think the Olympics cost much.They were Hamburg, Rome and Budapest.

【解析】

國際奧委會一次性地決定巴黎為2024年夏季奧運會舉辦地、洛杉磯為2028年夏季奧運會舉辦地。最初申辦奧運會的城市除了巴黎和洛杉磯外還包括漢堡、布達佩斯和羅馬。但是隨著這些城市的退出，對于主辦城市的確定已經(jīng)毫無懸念。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028.”巴黎將于2024年主辦奧運會，洛杉磯將于2028年主辦奧運會。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。由第一段最后一句中的“Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028.”巴黎將于2024年舉辦奧運會；再由第四段“it will host the event 100 years after its last Olympic Games.”它將在上屆奧運會100年后主辦這次賽事。故可以推斷它在1924年舉辦第二次奧運會。故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“However, the reason for the decision is that there were no other competitors (競爭對手) for the 2024 or 2028 Games”然而，做出這一決定的原因是，2024年或2028年的申辦沒有其他競爭對手�？芍�巴黎和洛杉磯贏得申辦的原因是他們沒有其他競爭者。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“It comes back to the US for the first time since(自從) the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and will be the third time that Los Angeles has hosted.”這是自1996年亞特蘭大奧運會以來第一次回到美國，將是洛杉磯第三次主辦�？芍�這次不是洛杉磯第二次舉辦。A項錯誤。根據(jù)“…Paris will become the second city to hold three Summer Olympic Games, after London and before Los Angeles.”巴黎將成為第二個舉辦三屆夏季奧運會的城市，僅晚于倫敦和早于洛杉磯�？芍�推斷倫敦是第一個舉辦三屆夏季奧運會的城市。故B項錯誤。根據(jù)““This is a win-win-win situation for Paris, Los Angeles and the IOC,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.”國際奧委會主席托馬斯巴赫表示：“這是巴黎、洛杉磯和國際奧委會的三贏局面�？梢酝茢�，托馬斯巴赫對比賽結(jié)果很滿意。故C項錯誤。根據(jù)“The cities have more than 90% of the facilities for the Games, which will cut the cost.” 這些城市擁有90%以上的奧運會設(shè)施，這將降低成本�？芍�巴黎不必為奧運會建造許多設(shè)施。故D項正確。故選D。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文文意可知，本文主要講述了國際奧委會一次性地決定巴黎為2024年夏季奧運會舉辦地、洛杉磯為2028年夏季奧運會舉辦地。故B項“Paris, Los Angeles to Host Olympic Games巴黎、洛杉磯主辦奧運會”符合題意，故選B。
