(2019·福州八县一中联考)If a city wants to hold the Olympics, it must submit a proposal to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰), the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically, the Games are awarded several years in advance,

allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.

In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of the growing importance of television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city's time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the U.S.A. or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to

pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.

Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee—not the IOC or the NOC of the host city's country to provide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships, tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected, the city will be left with large debts.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了申办奥运会的流程。

4．________ will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.

A．A city that submits a proposal

B．A majority winner in voting

C．A city that has perfect time zone

D．One that hasn't hosted the Games

B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，在所有提案提交后，国际奥委会投票。如果没有得票最少的城市被淘汰，则投票继续，直到确定主办城市。据此可知，得票数最多的城市由国际奥委会确定为奥运会主办城市，故B项正确。

5．If the Games take place in Canada, American television networks ________.

A．will not pay for the Canadian television networks

B．will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting events

C．can't broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours

D．are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rights
