Unit2 The United Kingdom单元检测 (人教版必修5) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2014·石家庄高中毕业班教学质量检测)The London 2012 Olympic Games are being praised as a sporting and logistical(后勤方面的)success，but the influence on economy is far less certain.Some London tourist attractions，businesses and hotels reported that their business actually fell during the Games.But as Olly Barratt reports from London，the overall UK economy is looking for long-term results. Throwing an Olympic-sized party like this costs the UK almost 15 billion dollars.But while spectators went to East London’s Olympic Park，central London has been much quieter than normal.Arthur Rason，a central London stallholder，said，“Am I taking less？Yeah，I’m taking less.There’s no question about it.” Restaurants were among businesses that reported lower takings than normal at this time of year.And one tourism trade association says a survey of its members found the Games had had a negative influence all over the UK.But during the recent recession(不景气)，British officials still insist the Games were worth it.Boris Johnson，Mayor of London said，“I think it’s been an amazing display of what you can do if you plan and work for years and years on a project.And I think it’s a great advertisement for British engineering and British industry.” The government hopes the Games will be a great help to the British brand worldwide，and they are also an opportunity to sweet-talk potential investors from all over the world.And a fall in takings for some attractions should not have come as a surprise. 【文章大意】　 本文是对2012年伦敦奥林匹克运动会的评判。它在运动和后勤方面是成功的，但是就经济来说它的带动作用不明显。 1．Where is the London’s Olympic Park located?
