问题 Beijing’s top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe, " a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.
Minutes before the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was announced in Moscow, the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result. Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. Song said the hotel was not taking reservations, but only noting down names of callers, because seven years was too far in advance. The hotel also may be used by the IOC and would then need to set aside rooms for IOC members, he said.
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. About 70 hotels will be designated to accommodate athletes and Olympic officials during the Games.
According to the second paragraph, the 50 to 60 booking phone calls are from those who______.

选项 A、did not know the result
B、wanted to gamble on the result
C、believed that Beijing would be the winner
D、are IOC members

答案C

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”，所以他们提前预订宾馆房间。其他选项内容属于错误信息或无关信息。
