Question

7．Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming （花样游泳） have received an unexpected change to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake．
The London 2012 Organizing Committee （Locog） confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10，000 tickets．
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful．The changes need no additional cost．It has also offered to return any discrepancy （差额） if the new tickets cost less than the originals．Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets．
Locog said the error occurred in the summer，between the first and second round of ticket sales，when a member of staff made a mistake，entering"20，000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10，000 remaining tickets．The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers，and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas．
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky，changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals，and in around 200 cases the hottest of all，the men's 100m final．Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event，August 5．

解答 36．A．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段"and in around 200 cases the hottest of all，the men's 100m final"，可知有200人很幸运能看男子百米决赛，由于售票的失误；故选A．
37．D．细节理解题．根据文章第四段"It has also offered to return any discrepancy （差额） if the new tickets cost less than the originals"，可知伦敦奥运会为了补救提议无需补换票的差价进行免费换票；故选D．
38．A．词义推断题．此句句意为Locog说，更换为奥运会中一些未售出的座位的门票和它所做的一切都是在弥补错误，为了那些买了票的球迷；可推断it指的是Locog；故选A．
39．B．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"The London 2012 Organizing Committee （Locog） confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10，000 tickets"，可知奥运会的票被超卖了10000张，因此有10000人需要换票；故选B．
40．C．细节理解题．根据最后一段"Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event，August 5"，．Locog说，决定授予百米决赛票是因为其中的花样游泳比赛是在同一天下午举行，8月5日；故选C．
