[答案]

本文介绍的是2008年北京奥运会闭幕式的盛况。从开始的烟花倒计时,到英国伦敦的精彩表演,再到演员、运动员、观众们欢快、真挚的歌声,无不展示了本次奥运会的精彩和成功,无不再现了中国人的聪明和智慧。

1.A。go out是“熄灭”的意思,由此可以猜测此处是奥运圣火(the Olympic flame),而不是演员(players, actors),或运动员(athletes)。所以本题的答案为A。

2.C。sad“伤心的”;boring“无趣的”;jolly“欢快的”;disappointed“失望的”。这里是选一个可以描述闭幕式上的气氛的形容词,由后文可知,这是一场欢快的告别晚会。所以答案是C。

3.B。这里指的是奥运会的闭幕式,所以用ceremony。event“重大事件”;party“晚会”;festival“节日”。所以答案是B。

4.C。观众们从29开始倒数,暗示着第29届奥运会。所以本题选C。

5.C。能在鸟巢的上方爆炸,形成一个圆的一定是烟火fireworks,而不可能是lighting“闪电”,lights“光”或the Big Fire“大火”。所以本题的答案是C。

6.D。来自204个国家和地区的运动员(和教练员)在闭幕式上走进的一定是体育馆。后句也有提示,所以本题的答案是D。

7.A。运动员们欢笑、呼喊、拥抱……把晚会变成了一个欢快的聚会。a broken-heart celebration的意思是“伤心欲绝的庆祝”,这与前面讲述的运动员的表现不符;a funny memory“一个可笑的回忆”,也不符合语境;a festival“一个节日”,不确切,只是一场晚会而已。所以本题的答案是A。

8.C。这里是一个时间状语从句,当12名志愿者代表被12个孩子带领来到体育馆的中心时,一个让人激动的时刻到来了。所以应该用when来引导。

9.A。present“赠送”;buy“买”;send“派遣”;give“给”。在本题中指的是他们拿着新任奥委会成员所赠送的鲜花,他们与赠送之间是动宾关系,所以本题的答案是A。

10.B。look forward to“盼望”;enjoy“喜欢”;practice“练习”;mind“介意”。奥运会志愿者们当然“乐意”为记者服务。所以应该用enjoy。

11.D。happy“快乐的”;lucky“幸运的”;pride“骄傲的”;sad“伤心的”。当奥运会结束时,运动员们必须回到自己的祖国,志愿者们当然会觉得很遗憾,很伤心。所以本题的答案是D。

12.C。奥运会结束后,参加的人都回国了,所以是可能永远都不能见面了。应该用never。

13.A。志愿者们夜以继日地工作着,是在帮助运动员、官员、记者、观众、游客等。这里是现在分词作伴随状语。prepare for“准备”;favor“爱好”;work with“与……一起工作”。

14.A。奥运会的主会场是在北京,还有其他的奥运分会场,所以志愿者们工作的地方包括北京和其他六个合作城市。二者是并列关系,所以应该用and。

15.B。下一届奥运会将在伦敦举办,这是人们都知道的事实。

16.B。party“晚会”;ceremony“仪式”;speech“演讲”;farewell“辞别、再会”。此处是指有一个简短的仪式以展现伦敦的热情,希望人们提前对伦敦有所了解。所以本题的答案是B。

17.D。贝克汉姆是个足球明星,所以用footballer。下文的a football也有提示。

18.A。kick off是“踢飞”的意思;throw是“投掷”的意思;lay是“放置”的意思;play是“玩耍、打闹”的意思。此处是说贝克汉姆把足球踢了出去,所以用kick off。

19.B。begin with“以……开始”;end in“以……结束”;form“形成”;succeed“成功”。这里表示最后演员、观众和运动员都随着动听的音乐翩翩起舞,闭幕式在最后变成了歌舞的盛会。

20.D。中国的谚语“天下没有不散的宴席”用英语表示就是“all good things must come to an end”,用all来表示所有的。
