短文理解5
Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, --- it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world.
Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world.  The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.
  Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.
Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners.
  Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.
Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London.
The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.
There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.
Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.
They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travellers” without leaving their home-town.

1. Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli’s statement is an understatement?
Because he thinks London is _________.
A. a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity
B. even larger than some countries in the world 
C. not a nation at all 
2.London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that _________.

C. London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries
3.Ethnic minority groups will make up _________ of the London population in the future.
A. 36%       B. 40%       C. 39%
4.The last paragraph mainly tells us in London _________.
A. young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified cultures
B. young people are raised in a multicultural environment
C. young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures
5.The passage mainly deals with _________.

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.

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.
A. two years B. eight years    C. ten years
2.Beijing was one of the _______ bidders for the 2008games.
A. five      B. four       C. three
3.The World Cup 2002 was held in _______.
A. Japan     B. South Korea    C. A and B
4. What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid?
A. The extension of the underground.
B. The improvement of the airport.
C. The building of new motorways
D. All of the above
5. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?
A. Because it has a major effect on the economy.
B. Because it brings international prestige to the country.
C. Because the host cities are permanently improved.
D. All of the above.

The ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious sanctuary. The athletes came to Olympia from all parts of the Greek world, from as far as Spain in the west and Turkey in the east.
  The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC when Koroibos, a cook from the city of Elis, won a 200-metre-long race. They took place for a period of 617 years until the last games were held in AD 393.
  In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money. In fact the word “athlete ” is an ancient Greek word, meaning “one who competes for a prize”. Although women did not compete in the games, there was a separate festival held at the same time in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus. At this festival unmarried girls competed in foot races.
  The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race.
  The Olympic flag was introduced in 1908 and carries th
