36、 the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city is successful in gaining a majority in the first vote, the city with the fewest votes is eliminated, and voting continues, with successive rounds, until a majority winner is determined. Typically the Games are awarded sever
37、al 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, chief among them which city has, or promises to build, the best facilities, and which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the G
38、ames effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet host ed the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Mexico City, the host of the 1968 Summer Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia and in Latin America. Because o
39、f the growing importance of television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken in account the host citys time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the United States or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay significantly higher amounts for television rights
40、because they can broadcast popular events live, in prime viewing hours. Once the Games have been awarded, it is the responsibility of the local organizing committee-not the IOC or the NOC of the host citys country-to finance them. This is often done with a portion of the Olympic television revenues
41、and with corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, and other smaller revenue sources, such as commemorative postage stamps or proceeds from a national lottery. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have achieved a financial profit by hosting the Games, the Olympics
42、can be financially risky. When the proceeds from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.47 During voting, the city _ will win host of Olympics.（A）getting most votes in the first vote（B） getting more than half votes（C） being supported by a major city（D）going around succ
43、essfully48 In selecting the host city, the IOC will consider several factors except _ .（A）the existing facilities of the city（B） the competence of NOC of the citys country（C） the citys time zone（D）the financial profit by Olympics49 According to the passage, one of the reasons for Tokyo to be the hos
44、t of Olympics in 1964 may be _.（A）its a major city of Japan（B） its a famous city（C） its a city in Asia（D）its nice and cool in summer50 According to the passage, once the host city is determined, the money will be raised mainly by _ .（A）IOC（B） NOC of the citys country（C） the local government（D）the lo
45、cal organizing committee51 Its implied but not stated in the passage that _.（A）Olympics will award a city one year ago（B） not all the host cities can make profits by Olympics（C） sometimes the government will offer the support directly（D）the host city will receive the financial support from IOC52 Dea

Hes been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to soothe his feelings.But now-thin
