问题 According to the speaker, the first modern Olympic Games were held as an international competition.
  
The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete.
The economic slump is the biggest problem facing Americans today. Despite all the talks about deficit spending, oil prices, unemployment, and the impending depression, Americans continue to spend large sums of money on goods which are frivolous and damaging to the country.

选项

答案B

解析 1)中心句和支持性细节的关系。材料中第一句是中心句,概括了当今美国面临的最大问题是经济疲软。后面的内容具体说明了这一点。2)根据原文中词汇的色彩,可作出正确推断。如原文中自始至终使用了带有贬义色彩的词,如:slump,deficit,unemployment,depression,frivolous,damaging等,由此可判断,美国的经济不会在短期内recover“恢复”。
