Tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014.
Tickets will range in price from£58 for first-round matches to£632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for £15.

Ticket | £58-£112 | Final ticket | £281-£632 |
Sun cream | £9.50 | T-shirt | £13 |
McDonald’s meal | £11 | Water | £1.28 |

Coffee | £2.55 | Average dinner | £29 |
“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.” According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.
All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.
A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between£46 and£797 a night, while packages range from£2,999 to£14,999.

試題分析:2014年巴西世界杯就要開幕了,網(wǎng)上預訂門票也火爆預售中。國際足聯(lián)認為,本屆世界杯應該更“像2010年的德國而不是像南非”一樣火熱。

2.D細節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第三段中Thierry Weil所講:“But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.”可知,他相信本次世界杯的情況會更像德國的那次而非2010年的南非世界杯。以及下文所提到的數(shù)據(jù)可知,從球迷參加人數(shù)上,南非世界杯不及德國世界杯。由此可知,Thierry Weil認為比起南非世界杯,本次巴西世界杯會有更多的球迷來參加。故該題正確答案為D.
