【解析】

短文大意：短文介紹了2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的吉祥物和倫敦為奧運(yùn)會(huì)所做的準(zhǔn)備工作。

【1】題意：倫敦舉辦過幾屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)?考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)The city became the first in history to host the Olympic Games three times.可知倫敦是歷史上第一個(gè)三次舉辦奧運(yùn)會(huì)的城市，故選C。

【2】題意：2012年夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)吉祥物的名字來自哪里?考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)The London 2012 Olympic mascots, which are named after two small English towns, are Wenlock and Mandeville. 2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)吉祥物以兩個(gè)英國小鎮(zhèn)文洛克和曼德維爾命名，可知選A。

【3】題意：下列哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)是不正確的?考查細(xì)節(jié)判斷。A. 倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)開幕式于7月27日舉行。B. 奧林匹克體育場在倫敦南部開放。C. 這個(gè)體育場能容納8萬人。D. 有4萬多人參加了這個(gè)儀式。根據(jù)On May 5, the Olympic Stadium opened in east London. 5月5日奧林匹克體育場在倫敦東部開放，可知The Olympic Stadium opened in south London說法錯(cuò)誤，故選B。

本文內(nèi)容淺顯易懂，各個(gè)小題都能在文中找到適當(dāng)依據(jù)。只要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，注意前后聯(lián)系，就能順利完成閱讀。文章所設(shè)試題主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解，做題關(guān)鍵是找出原文的根據(jù)，認(rèn)真核查小題和原文的異同。
