解析试题分析：考察倍数表达法。倍数表达有四种：1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”， 2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”， 3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width， etc+of+B”， 4. “……times+what+从句”。本题考察了第2种情况。把倍数放在前面，后面使用as…as结构。句意：为了下一届亚运会而建设的新的体育馆将会是现在这座体育馆的三倍大。故A正确。
考点：考查倍数表达法
点评：倍数表达要牢记，倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点，也是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常用句型来表示：
1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词比较级+than+B”，表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”
This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长（比那根绳子长一倍）。
2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如：
Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。
3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width， etc+of+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如：
This street is four times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的四倍长。
4. “……times+what+从句”。如：
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 现在的产量比十年前增加了两倍。
The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall along them.
Samuel Peyps, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone, In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them the new St Paul's.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
