阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  On November 15, 1904, patent(专利)#775, 134 was granted to KingC.Gillette for a safety“razor”.King Camp Gillette was born in Fond du loc, Wisconsin in 1885.To support himself when the family's home was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871, Gillette became a traveling salesman.This work led him to William Painter, the inventor of the disposable(一次性的)Crown Cork bottle cap, who assured Gillette that a successful invention was one that was purchased over and over again by satisfied customer.

  In 1895, after several years of considering and rejecting possible inventions, Gillette suddenly had a brilliant idea while shaving one morning.It was an entirely new razor(剃刀)and blade(刀片)that flashed in his mind-a razor with a safe, inexpensive, and disposable blade.

  It took six years for Gillette's idea to evolve.During that time, technical experts told Gillette that it would be impossible to produce steel that was hard, thin, and inexpensive enough for commercial development of the disposable razor blade.Then in 1901.MIT graduate William Nickerson agreed to try.

  By 1903, he had succeeded.Production of the Gillette R safety razor and blade began as the Gillette Safety Razor Company started operations in South Boston Sales grew steadily.During World War I, the U.S.Government issued Gillette safety razors to the entire armed forces.By the end of the war, some 3.5 million razors and 32 million blades were put into military hands, thereby converting an entire nation to the Gillette safety razor.

  Gillette's success formula was this-low prices, excellent advertising and automated manufacturing techniques.These are the foundations why we, a century later, are still buying Gillette products.

Few in the West seemed to notice when the International Olympic Committee(lOC) decided to award the 2014 Winter Games to the Russian town of Sochi. Yet this choice is full of geopolitical meaning.

President Vladimir Putin flew to Guatemala City to address IOC delegates before they voted, and surprised them by speaking in French and for the first time ever in public­-----English. Later he declared that Sochi’s victory was "not only a recognition of Russia’s achievements in sports" but also "an assessment of our country".

Sochi, located between the Caucasus and the Black Sea, has poor roads, one old ski resort(胜地) and out-of-date facilities. In the next five years it will be transformed by a burst of construction unprecedented(前所未有的) in the history of Russia. Winning the Olympic bid has given Russian politicians a focus, a $12 billion project they can use to showcase their power and .that of their country. Several have already announced big investments in Sochi.

Olympic planners will have to assure that the Sochi project does not collapse under the weight of corruption(腐败), which Russian officials are famous for. With many eyes watching, they will also have to develop the green landscape around Sochi, where some of Europe's last wild bears roam in primitive mountain forests, with more care for the environment than.Russia has traditionally shown.

Sochi also sits on the edge of a region that has been boiling with ethnic(民族的) and political tension since the collapse of the Soviet Union.  In past centuries it was ruled by both Georgia and Abkhaia, which is now a breakaway region of Georgia. Russia backs the rebel regime in Abkhazia, but as the Olympics approach it may feel it needs to be careful.

The president of Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili, might have bitterly protested the Olympic Committee's decision to award the Winter Games to a country that actively supports rebels within Georgia. Instead he was wise enough to realize that this event could push Russia toward compromise (妥协) solutions in Abkhazia and perhaps even in Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Chechnya.

A.Russian            B.French            C.English             D.Spanish

A.how to protect the environment from damage while large scale construction is going on

B.the capability of Russian government to hold the Olympic Games

C.the corruption of some Russian government officials

D.how to do away with the mountain forests around Sochi

4.What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to?         .

A.The rebel regime in Abkhazia.             B.Georgia.

C.Sochi.                              D.Russia.

5.From the last paragraph we know that         .
