PassageOne
46.答案：B)getsmorethanhalfvotes
点睛解析：此题答案在第一段倒数第二句。关键词是majority，表示的是超过一半以上的大多数，而不是most，排除A项。正确答案是B。C项和D项提到的bestfacilities和paysfortelevisionrights是IOC的考虑因素，但不是决定性因素，且最高级的说法也不正确。
47.答案：C)It'sfamousinLatinAmerica.
点睛解析：墨西哥城的例子，是在第二段第二句话之后，即IOC会考虑世界上没有举办过奥运会的地区，由此可推断，是与墨西哥城所处的地理位置有关；第三句直接指出了topopularizetheOlympicsinLatinAmericapartially，可知，原因是它是拉美城市，正确答案是C。
