The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the worlds best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Romes Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the citys Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fans desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1, 1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7, 1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
本文从著名的罗马斗兽场开始介绍了世界上最大的几个体育竞技场及其基本情况。
1.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A. 104,944. B. 107,601.
C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
答案与解析 D 直接细节题。根据第一段最后一句“However, that was small fry compared with the citys Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.”可知,Circus Maximus可容纳250,000人。故选D。题干中的hold与原文accommodated是同义词。
2.Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?
