CELEBRATIONS spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl（东方明珠）,was given the right to host（主办）the 2010 World Expo（世博会）on December 3.
Shanghai won the honour after beating rivals（对手）from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
“I'm very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents（居民）, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”
Bidding（申办）for the expo shows that China is more confident（有信心的）of playing a more important role on the international stage. It is competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China's development over the next 10 years, said experts.
The World Expo is known as the “Olympics of the economic（经济）, cultural（文化）, scientific and technological fields”. It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months.
The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered the three top international events in the world.
China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event's 151- year history.
Not only will it attract more foreign investment（投资）to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.

(1) 在文中第三段中提及的赢得世博会举办权是一个victory,在段落中是“成功、成就”的意思，B选项success也是“成就、成功”的意思，故选B. A是“惊奇”，C是“奇迹”，D是“传奇”，都不符合原文的意思。(2) 在文中第二段提及上海是通过击败俄罗斯、墨西哥、波兰和韩国这些对手取得举办权的，俄罗斯在欧洲，上海和韩国在亚洲，墨西哥在北美洲，波兰在欧洲，故该题选D。(3) 在文中第8段中提及中国是第一个获得世博会举办权的发展中国家，而不是亚洲国家，所以应选C. A项在第6段中有同义的叙述It's usually held every five years and lasts for six months, B项在第7段中有提及The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered the three top international events in the world, D项在第9段中有同义的叙述。像attract more foreign investment及bring visitors to Shanghai。(4) 本文中A、C、D三项均有提及，而B项显然能够说明中国正在扮演一个更重要的角色。D项区别其余三项就在于世界杯的举办权还未实现，所以不能说明中国正在扮演一个更重要的角色，故选D。 |
