Typically the Games are awarded several years in advance,  (26)______ the winning city time to prepare for the Games. In selecting the  (27)______ of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, chief among them which city has, or promises to build, the best facilities, and which organizing committee seems most likely to  (28)______ the Games effectively.

   (37)______ the Games have been awarded, it is the responsibility of the local organizing committee to finance them.

选项 A、safe
B、risky
C、tempting
D、feasible

答案B

解析此处的考点是相容词的上下文辨析。这句话的意思是：举办奥运会可能冒经济风险(the Olympics can be financially risky)，文章最后一句谈到债台高筑(left with large debts)，引申了这一意思。risky adj．危险的，冒风险的，如：a risky business冒险生意。其他选项，选项A．safe安全，选项C．tempting诱惑的，选项D．feasible可行的，都不合题意，所以正确B。
