　　The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.
　　参考译文
　　四年以后，奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行。由于将有大批的人到我们国家来，所以政府准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池。他们还将修筑一些新的道路和一条铁路专线。奥运会就在首都市郊举办，整个地区将被称作“奥林匹克城”。工人们将在今年年底前把新路铺好；到明年年底，他们将把新体育场建成。这些巨大的现代化建筑是由库尔特冈特设计的。大家都将急切地注视着新建筑的建成。我们都非常激动，盼望着奥运会的到来，因为在这个国家里还从未举办过奥运会。
　　【课文讲解】
　　1、The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time.
　　in four years' time 四年之后（in常与将来时连用表示“……时间之后”）

　　four years later 四年后
　　four years ago 四年前
　　2、As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an
　　immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. as/because 原因，as 是连词，引出原因状语从句，as 用于表示原因时通常位于句首，它所表明的原因对于讲话对象可能是已知的，因此没必要再予以强调。because 任何时候都可代替 as，来说明一种或几种原因，但 as则不一定总能代替because。because一般跟在主句后面，强调讲话的对象可能不知道的原因。
　　As you can't type the letter yourself, you'll have to ask Susan to do it for you.
　　Jim's trying to save more money because he wants to buy a car.
　　a large number of people = a great many people 大批的人

　　5、Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up.
　　as是连词，相当于while，当"当，正值"讲，引出时间状语从句，它引导的从句虽然表示将来的动作
　　但要用一般现在时，不能用 "…will go up"
　　be built强调建造；go up （建筑物）被兴建起来，拔地而起
　　Many new houses are going up in this district.
　　6、We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.
　　look forward to+n./pron./doing sth. (很高兴的)盼望，期待

　　【Key structures】

　　一般将来时除了可以用来预言将来发生的事以外，还可以表示"意愿"，如允诺、建议、请求、提议等。
　　The radio hasn't been mended yet. Never mind! I'll mend it for you. （允诺）
　　Will you open the door for me please! （请求）
　　Shall we go for a swim tomorrow? （建议）

　　I hope they'll have finished it in time for the journey.
　　I expect you will have changed your mind by tomorrow.
　　I will have finished it until/till tomorrow.
　　现在完成式 : 到现在某一点时间为止
　　过去完成式 : 到过去某一点时间为止
