believed that Beijing would be the winner

题目：According to the second paragraph, the 50 to 60 booking phone calls are from those who ______.

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“...，the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result.” gambling on the result在这里的意思是“算定了北京会赢”，所以他们提前预定宾馆房间。其他选项内容属于错误信息或无关信息。

[单选题]Mrs. White is different from her friends who were ______.

not always hopeful

解析：解析：本题题干上的信号词为different和friends，依据句为“Unlike her friends， however，she never lost heart.”其中lose heart =lose hope。此句意为“她从来都是满怀希望，而她的朋友与她不同，并不是经常满怀希望”。

[单选题]Mary: What are you working on? Susan: I'm doing some embroidery. Mary: ______ Susan: I don't do very much, just for very special occasions.

I didn't know you did needlework.

解析：解析：选项A中，Mary对Susan会刺绣表示意外，这与Susan的对答“我不常做，只是在特殊时候做一做。”语义相连。对于B的应答应该是礼貌地表示谢意，若选C或D，Susan的回答则显得答非所问。

[单选题]We can infer by this label that ______.

the medicine could cause some people to feel nervous

解析：解析：B和C选项的内容与原文不符，属于错误信息；D选项内容也不正确，这种药为tablet意思为“药片”，本身并不是液体。A选项的内容可以由短文的最后一个句子“Reduce dosage if nervousness，restlessness，or sleeplessness occurs.”所确认。

[单选题]In Beijing there are ______ hotels with stars at present.

about 400

解析：解析：本题的关键是找到这些选项中的数字在文中出现的地方，然后逐一对照确认即可。其依据句为“Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels，34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings.”可以看出，D选项内容是2008年的数字，A和B选项是五星和四星级宾馆的数字，而此题要求所有星级的宾馆总数。所以，答案是将不同星级宾馆数字相加，总数大约400(20+30+338)。

stood a village

解析：解析：客人对主人招待的饭菜有好评，主人一般会客气地说声“谢谢”或表示“很高兴受到好评”。A．Thank you．Don't mention it．后一部分不符合习惯，属于画蛇添足； B．You're welcome．一般用于回答别人的致谢；C．Not so delicious，I'm afraid．符合汉语习惯，在英语中则显得过于自谦。
