題目列表(包括答案和解析)

The International Olympic Committee named a short list of five cities as possible hosts for the 2012 Olympics.

The five―London, Madrid, Moscow, New York and Paris―became official candidates, beginning a 14-month race that ended with the selection of a winning bid by the IOC's assembly in Singapore in July 2005.

Havana, Leipzig, Rio de Janeiro and Istanbul were the victims in 2004, as the field was cut down from nine applicants.

Geography would appear to favor a European city after the 2008 Summer Games in Asia―Beijing and the 2010 Winter Games in North America―Vancouver.

IOC president Jacques Rogge said the list could be further cut in the next month if any of the bidding cities fall short of IOC expectations.

"What we have done today is retain five cities which we believe will deliver, but we will have to check if they do deliver," said Rogge. "I do not like the word 'rejection' and this in no way reflects that we do not trust these countries. "

The nine original competitors launched their bids in January, 2004 with the emphasis on agreement and easily accessible venues(舉辦場所).

Favorites Paris and London promoted the attractions of their landmarks, Madrid promised an environmentally friendly Games while New York called itself the "world city".

Paris bid organizers said they would stage beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and host many of the events at two clusters on the edge of the French capital.

"Our experience with previous bids has taught us a great deal about the needs and aspirations of the IOC," Paris bid chief Philippe Baudillon said. "We firmly believe that Paris will meet those needs.”

London organizers countered (反駁)it by promising to hold the beach volleyball competition in Horse Guards Parade.

Seventeen sports, including athletics and swimming, would be staged at a new venue in the city's deprived East End.

"I am very pleased that London has been named a candidate city for the 2012 Olympic Games. But I am not surprised we have cleared this most important hurdle," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement.

80. 他的無私(的行為)向年輕隊員們表明了,促進全隊更好的發(fā)展才是唯一重要的事情。

Possible version:

Nowadays ,with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.

According to a recent survey, about 85. 5 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor. Yet for various reasons, many students don't want to improve their handwriting. 51. 5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting, and 32. 3 percent believe that they are so busy with the study that they do not have time to practise. 10. 9 percent think that practising handwriting is useless.

As the saying goes, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
