What is Anthony Horowitz famous for?
The character of Sherlock Holmes was originally created by the Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle, who featured him in four novels and more than 50 short stories. After his death, his son Adrian wrote several stories featuring the famous Victorian detective, but critics say he was never that popular. But it’s the first time that the Arthur Conan Doyle estate has officially asked an author to write a new novel. He has been named as Anthony Horowitz and is best known for his Alex Rider children’s series.
Qatar won the right to host the World Cup in 2022 despite its scorching temperatures, which often exceed 40 degrees Celsius. The super-rich Gulf state promised to install solar-powered cooling systems in the stadiums, and fan zones. But Peter Velappan, who led the development of Asian football for three decades, until he left the AFC in 2006, has suggested a different solution. He said no one would want to play in those conditions and has strongly recommended that FIFA reschedule the tournament for January or February.
选项
A、Financial difficulties.
B、Very high temperatures.
C、The disapproval of the AFC.
D、The shortage of water.
答案
B
解析
新闻的首句提到“尽管卡塔尔灼热的气温经常超过40度,但是卡塔尔赢得了2022年世界杯的举办权”,而且后文中主要是围绕如何解决高温这一问题展开的,由此可知高温是卡塔尔面临的主要难题。
