答案:
16 A  此题是根据第一段的最后一部分编写的，基本上保持了最后一个分句，只是把。Asia（亚洲）改成了Asian countries（亚洲国家）。
17 A  此题是根据第三段的第一个句子编写的，只是用。as well as…重写这个句子。注意…as well as.强调的是前面部分，not only.but also…强调的是but also.引起的部分。

19 C  该题说的是：奥林匹克运动会以自行车比赛开始，原因是自行车比赛会吸引世界的注意。"奥林匹克运动会以自行车比赛开始"在第五段中是可以找到的，但是这样的安排是"自行车比赛会吸引世界的注意"文章并没有说。
20 B  该题说的是：第一届现代奥林匹克运动会是在三个世纪前举行的。倒数第三段的第～个句子是这么说的：位于奥林匹亚的、差不多在三世纪前最早用于举行奥林匹克运动会的古运动场将用于举行铅球比赛。这是最早举行奥林匹克运动会的地方，但不是举行第一届现代奥林匹克运动会的地方。该段的最后一句话还有进一步的提示。
