问题     With another dramatic fireworks display Sunday evening at the National Stadium here, the Beijing Olympics came to a dazzling close, ending two weeks of spectacular athletic performances during an Olympic competition.
    Unlike in the opening ceremony, with its orderly parade of countries and their athletes, the closing ceremony brought flag bearers congregating in the middle, and athletes filing in somewhat haphazardly and many dressed less formally.
    Beijing had staked everything on the Games, galvanizing the nation, spending billions to rebuild the ancient capital, erecting fantastic stadiums and producing the kind of opening and closing ceremonies that can only be created in China, with tens of thousands of performers dazzling a global television audience the vibrant displays of color and mass synchronization.
    The 29th Olympiad was supposed to be China’s coming out party, a show of its rising economic and political power and its reemergence as a global power. And in many ways it was. But the Games also turned into a dramatic show of this country’s athletic power, with China hauling in 51 gold medals, enough to top the gold medal tables and unseat the United States, which won 36.
选项
答案 随着星期天晚上在国家体育场上演的又一次扣人心弦的焰火腾空，北京奥运会进入了令人眼花缭乱的闭幕式，宣告为期两周蔚为壮观的奥运竞赛结束。 不像开幕式那样各国运动员按规定线路井然有序地列队入场，闭幕式的入场旗手簇拥在队伍中心，运动员鱼贯而入，比较随便，穿着不那么正式。 北京为承办这次奥运会竭尽全力，激发了全国热情。政府斥资数百亿元(数十亿美元)改造了古老的京城，修建了一座座美轮美奂的体育场馆，打造出精彩绝伦的开幕式、闭幕式。数万演员的团体操动作整齐划一、充满活力、五彩缤纷，令全球电视观众眼花缭乱——只有中国才能创作出这样的大手笔。 人们普遍认为第29届奥运会是中国展现实力的聚会，显示中国日益强大的经济和政治力量，重现全球大国的形象。在许多方面确实如此。但奥运会也生动展示了这个国家的体育实力：中国赢得51枚金牌，在金牌榜上独占鳌头，将获得36枚金牌的美国队拉下了金牌第一的宝座。
