Who will stage the games？
Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking.Just like the athletes, the host city spends years getting ready for the event.Before deciding which city will host the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC)has to examine bids from all over the world.Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance.Without preparing a very strong bid1, a city will not win the competition to host the games.Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders — Osaka, Paris,Toronto and Istanbul.2
Why does it take so long to prepare？
Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money.Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea, for example, meant that ten new stadiums had to be built, as well as many hotels and an improved transport system.In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects — the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways3.Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes.By planting trees and creating parks, the city becomes more attractive for tourists.
Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games？
Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country.Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved.
1.Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts before the games are really held.

You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-the-art (先进的) ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. The Olympic class included the Olympic, the Britannic and the Titanic. What you may not know is that the Titanic wasn't even the flagship of this class. All in all, the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates. The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly the Britannic in 1914. The ships had nine decks, and White Star Line decided to focus on making them the most luxurious ships on the water. Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas. The Olympic got wrecked before the Titanic did, but it was the only one to survive and maintain a successful career of 24 years. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster, the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well. Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews below deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship's smoke stacks, but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While two of these ships sank, they were all designed with double hulls (船体) believed to make them "unsinkable", perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic's and the Britannic's tragic end. The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World War I. Eventually, she was taken out of service in 1935, ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners. 1.What does the passage say about the three Olympic class ships？()
A、They performed marvellously on the sea.
B、They could all break the ice in their way.
C、They all experienced terrible misfortunes.
D、They were models of modern engineering.
The crucial question at the beginning of the 1990's is whether the trend that began in the 1970's will prove to be temporary or permanent. Is the era of cheap energy really over, or will a combination of new resources, new technology and changing geopolitics bring it back？ One key determinant of the answer is the staggering scale of energy demand brought forth by 100 years of population growth and industrial demand.
Except for the huge pool of oil underlying the Middle East, the cheapest oil and gas are already gone. Even if a few more giant oil fields are discovered, they will make little difference against consumption on today's scale. Oil and gas will have to come increasingly, for most countries, from deeper in the earth and from imports whose reliability and afford-ability cannot be guaranteed.
Passage Two

Let the Games Begin: Winter Olympics 2006 Start in Turin
The Winter Olympic Games open February tenth. An estimated two thousand five hundred athletes and two thousand five hundred officials from about eighty-five countries will take part in the games.
The athletes will compete to win medals in eighty-four events. They will test their skills in seven winter sports: biathlon(冬季两项，包括越野滑雪和步枪射击), bobsleigh(雪车), curling(冰壶), ice hockey(冰球), luge(无舵雪橇), skating and skiing. More than six hundred judges and other officials will supervise the games. About ten thousand reporters and media operators will report on the games. Thousands of people will attend, and millions more around the world will watch the Olympics on television.
History of Olympic Games
This will be the twentieth time the Olympic Winter Games have been held. The last Winter Games were held in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States in 2002. The next Winter Olympic games will take place in Vancouver, Canada in 2010. The goal of the Olympic games is to bring people together in peace to honor universal moral ideas and the Olympic spirit. The modern Olympics are named after games held in ancient times. The games are said to have started in the ancient Greek city of Olympia, more than 2,700 years ago.
The first thirteen Olympic games were foot races during celebrations to honor the Greek god, Zeus. Winners were honored with a crown of olive leaves placed around their heads. Greece continued to hold the games every four years for the next 1,000 years. The ancient Romans banned them in the 4th century when they ruled Greece. The Romans also destroyed the Olympic centers and sports fields.
The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Athletes from eight countries competed in ten sports. A French diplomat, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, had proposed a world celebration of sports like the ancient games in Greece.
The purpose was to help athletes develop strength and values through competition. And the international event would provide a way for athletes of all nations to become friends.
Today, the Olympics are the world's most famous sports event. The five rings of the Olympic sign represent this athletic friendship. They represent the linking, through sports, of five parts of the world: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas. The colors of the rings are blue, yellow, black, green and red. Under the rings is the Olympic saying in Latin: "Citius, Altius, Fortius." In English, the words mean: "Swifter, Higher, Stronger."
Sports of the Turin Winter Olympics
The Turin Winter Olympics will include 84 events in 7 sports. Some of the sports are well known, like skiing and skating. Others, like luge, are not. Luge is the French word for sled. Luge athletes race by lying on their backs on sleds with steel runners. The athletes control the sleds with their feet as they speed down a track covered with ice. They compete to see who is the fastest. The sleds can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers an hour.
Curling is another sport that is not as well known. It began in Scotland. Each athlete on a four-member team slides a stone across the ice toward a circular target. The target is about two meters wide. The object is to slide the stone to the center of the target.
Biathlon was added to the Winter Olympic Games in 1960. This sport began as a method for survival. Northern Europeans skied to hunt for food. Later they skied with weapons to defend their countries. Today, biathlon is considered a combination of two sports: cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.
Snowboarding became an Olympic sport in 1998. In this sport, the athletes' feet are attached to a board as they move quickly on the snow. In one event, snowboarders slide up the sides of a huge hole built especially to perform. jumps. The athlet

听力原文： Experts from seven nations gathered at a Beijing conference Monday, contributing their ideas on security and counter-terrorism for the upcoming 2008 Olympics.
International terrorism, highly-organized transnational crime and security issues for large-scale sports events are on the agenda for the conference, which is cosponsored by the Beijing Olympics security headquarters and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, said Ma Zhenchuan, director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. Ma said Beijing has been updating police work and police methods, improving equipment and boosting the overall quality of police, in anticipation of the Olympic Games. He said Beijing police will actively cooperate and communicate with international experts and establish advanced security mechanisms.
UN Deputy Secretary General David Veness said he appreciated China's goal of a "safe Olympics". "We have seen tragedies occur at some sports events in recent years and do not want that to happen in Beijing," said Veness. He hoped that Beijing could draw some valuable lessons from the conference. "China has already cooperated extensively with our organization and we have witnessed the huge efforts made by China over the past few years," said the official.
Beijing police have been testing security mechanisms since 2005 at many international sports events in the city, said Liu Shaowu, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. Liu said the Beijing police will continue to work on Olympic security, and particularly risks represented by terrorism and organized crime.

Unforgettable Olympic Moments
Since French baron Pierre de Coubertin gave fresh life to the Olympic movement in 1896, the Games have been witness to some of the most unforgettable moments in sports. Some of those moments have been dazzling athletic achievements. Others have been moments that organizers would have preferred never happened. But good or had, these events have helped create the memories that shape our perceptions of the Olympic Games to the present day. So here, in no particular order, are seven unforgettable moments from the Summer Olympic Games.
Jesse Owens--Berlin 1936
In 1936, Nazi Germany played host to the Summer Olympics, and Germany's Adolf Hitler was determined to prove the superiority of the Aryan race. African-American track star Jesse Owens, a son of a sharecropper and the grandson of slaves, had other plans. In a display that dealt a tremendous blow to the Nazi's racist ideology, Owens won the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and the long jump. He was also a key member of the 400-meter relay team that won the gold medal.
He set records in three of those events. He was the first American to ever win four medals in an Olympic Games.
But as Owens himself later noted, his single-handed destruction of Hitler's myth of Aryan superiority did little at the time to advance the cause of African-Americans in the US.
"When I came hack to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus," Owens said. "I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where 1 wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the president, either. ' The Soviet Union-USA Gold Medal Basketball
Final-Munich 1972
It was as had a call by officials as has ever been made in a sporting contest. The 1972 gold medal basketball game between the United States and the Soviet Union was a real squeaker, but it looked as if the Americans had pulled it out. But that was not to be, as long-time Monitor sports writer and now sports blogger (博客) Ross Atkins recalled recently:
After the US appeared to have kept its perfect Olympic record intact and escaped a huge upset by the Soviets in the men's final, the referees twice decided to put three seconds back on the clock. The Soviets managed to score the winning basket on the second replay and win the gold medal. Distraught by what they considered an injustice, the members of US team voted unanimously to refuse their silver medals. They've never reneged, and to this day the medals sit in a Swiss vault.
How seriously do the American players who played on that team take this boycott？ Team captain Kenny Davis actually placed in his will a request that his wife and children can never, ever receive the silver medal from that game.
Ethiopian Abebe Bikila Wins a Gold Medal While Running Barefoot--Rome 1960
Abebe Bikila was a young member of the Imperial Bodyguard of Ethiopia when he ran the marathon in the 1960 Games in Rome. Up until that time, no black African had ever won a gold medal in the Olympic Games, let alone a prestigious track and field event like the marathon. But Bikila, running without his shoes in the chilly dawn of a Roman summer day, broke that dry spell, and set a new world record at the same time.
It was fitting that his win came in Italy, the nation that had invaded his homeland three decades earlier. His feat captured the imagination of the entire world. Four years later in Tokyo, he repeated it, becoming the first man to ever win gold 'in two Olympic. marathons (a feat only duplicated once) .
He also established a trend that has to this day dominated long-distance events around the globe: the superiority of runners from eastern Africa.
