阅读原文片段

Hosting a major international sports event such as the World Cup is often seen as a mark of national status, but the economic and social impacts are widely debated.Supporters argue that the event brings long-term benefits. The construction of stadiums, transport networks and accommodation creates thousands of jobs in the host region, many of which remain after the tournament ends. Improved infrastructure, such as new subway lines and upgraded airports, improves the quality of life for local residents for decades. In addition, global media exposure boosts tourism and attracts foreign investment in the years following the event.However, critics point out that the high costs often outweigh the benefits. Host governments typically spend billions of dollars on stadiums that are rarely used after the World Cup, placing a heavy burden on public finances. In some cases, local communities are displaced to make way for new construction, and the money spent on the event could have been used for healthcare, education and poverty relief.Research also suggests that the social impact is mixed. While the event brings a sense of national pride and brings people together, it can also lead to increased traffic congestion, higher living costs and temporary rises in crime rates in host cities.

题目：判断正误（TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN）

1. All jobs created by World Cup construction disappear after the tournament.
2. Improved transport infrastructure has lasting value for local people.
3. Most host countries spend less money than they originally planned.
4. Some local residents have to leave their homes for event-related construction.

答案 + 解析

1. FALSE原文提到 “many of which remain after the tournament ends”，说明很多岗位会保留，并非全部消失，与题干表述相反。

2. TRUE原文 “Improved infrastructure... improves the quality of life for local residents for decades”，与题干 “lasting value” 对应，表述一致。

3. NOT GIVEN原文只提到花费高昂、增加财政负担，并未提及是否低于预算，属于未提及信息。

4. TRUE原文 “local communities are displaced to make way for new construction”，与题干 “leave their homes” 为同义替换，表述正确。

核心同义替换

• long-term benefits = lasting value
