Question

【題目】 Hangzhou， capital of Zhejiang Province， China， was chosen to be the host city of the 19th Asian Games(亞運(yùn)會(huì)). However， some people say that the 19th Asian Games will be held in 2022， while some say 2023. Which is true?

To make it clear， we need to have a better understanding of Asian Games first.

The Asian Games is a multi-sport event. It is held every four years among athletes from all over Asia. It is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.

The Asian Games are always held at the same year as the World Cup， which is also held every four years. Many people around the world pay more attention to the World Cup. This really makes the Olympic Council of Asia(OCA) worried. So， the OCA decides to postpone the 18th Asian Games for a year. That is in 2019. In this way， the Asian Games won’t be held in the same year as the World Cup. So Hangzhou will hold the event in 2023.

Hanoi(河內(nèi))， capital of Vietnam(越南)， is the host city of the 18th Asian Games. However， Vietnamese government announced in 2014 that Hanoi gave up the right to host the Asian Games because they don’t have enough money.

Luckily， Djakarta(雅加達(dá))， capital of Indonesia(印度尼西亞)， was willing to be the host city instead of Hanoi. But then came another problem. Djakarta will hold presidential election(總統(tǒng)選舉) in 2019， so the government wanted to change the holding time of the Asian Games back to 2018. The OCA agreed.

【解析】

試題分析：短文介紹了有關(guān)亞運(yùn)會(huì)的相關(guān)常識(shí)，亞運(yùn)會(huì)是一項(xiàng)綜合性運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)，每四年舉辦一次，亞運(yùn)會(huì)與世界杯在同一年舉行，亞洲奧林匹克理事會(huì)擔(dān)心世界上許多人更加關(guān)注世界杯，從而決定將第十八屆亞運(yùn)會(huì)推遲一年舉行。中國(guó)的杭州將舉辦第十九屆亞運(yùn)會(huì)。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“So Hangzhou will hold the event in 2023.”可知，第19屆亞運(yùn)會(huì)將在2023年中國(guó)的杭州舉行，故答案為A。

【2】C 詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)短文的第三段的內(nèi)容可知，亞運(yùn)會(huì)與世界杯在同一年舉行，亞洲奧林匹克理事會(huì)擔(dān)心世界上許多人更加關(guān)注世界杯，從而決定將第十八屆亞運(yùn)會(huì)推遲一年舉行。故答案C符合題意。

【3】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的句子“Djakarta will hold presidential election(總統(tǒng)選舉) in 2019， so the government wanted to change the holding time of the Asian Games back to 2018.”可知，雅加達(dá)將在2019年舉行總統(tǒng)選舉，所以政府希望亞運(yùn)會(huì)的舉行時(shí)間改回2018。故答案為D。
