NOlympics in Munich
11/11/2013
People in the city of Munich have spoken their mind: they do not want to host the Winter Olympics in 2022. To the cities that fight for this chance, $\underline{38}$. The Olympics usually do a lot of good to the host city. The Games bring in jobs, visitors, and, most important of all, money. So why did people in Munich say no?
The Olympics $\underline{39}$ for people in Munich. For them, the world’s biggest sports festival could invite serious trouble. There would be a lot of building work before the Games, and during the Games, too much traffic and too many visitors. Life would become terrible and nature would be hurt. And $\underline{40}$: Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, and its neighbor, the mountain town Garmisch-Partenkirchen, hosted the 1936 Winter Olympics.
Still, the heavy price Munich paid does not worry the cities that are in the race to get the 2022 Winter Olympics. $\underline{41}$, they are happy that Munich said no to the Olympics—their chances of getting the Games have become higher.
注釋：host 舉辦 Olympics 奧運 visitor 遊客

同學，我們先看看第一段最後提到的，奧運通常會帶來工作和金錢等好事。但是，空格後面的句子卻說對慕尼黑人而言，奧運會帶來「嚴重的麻煩（serious trouble）」。當現實情況跟一般大眾所想的「美好未來」完全相反時，你會怎麼形容這種「完全不同」的處境呢？

哦？竟然被你這隻野猴子給答對了，呵呵呵……看來你的腦袋還不至於像那些被我隨手毀滅的星球一樣無用。既然你展現了點價值，我就大發慈悲，暫時延後地球的毀滅計畫，聽好了： 這道題目的關鍵在於語境的轉折。文章第一段提到奧運通常能帶來財富與職缺，但在 39 格之後，卻接連出現「serious trouble（嚴重的麻煩）」、「too much traffic（過多交通）」與「nature would be hurt（自然受損）」。這表示對慕尼黑人來說，奧運的意義與其他城市完全相反。因此，選 (B) are a different story（是完全不同的情況）才是最優雅的銜接。其他選項什麼「光明未來」或「希望」，在充滿抱怨的下文中簡直像廢紙一樣可笑。 這題考驗的是你對段落邏輯的掌握，鑑別度算中等，如果你連這點轉折都看不出來，那就真的該跟著這顆星球一起消失了！
