Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs will be the fist player from Argentina to appear in the game. It has been impressive run for Manu Ginobili.

Argentina then beat Italy in the final to win the gold medal, which was the first-ever medal for Argentina in Olympic basketball.
The discount chain store Wal-Mart began as a small shop in the US state of Arkansas some 40 years ago. Today, it’s the largest private company in the world.
The business’ phenomenal growth is just one of its hallmarks. The statistics are startling: Wal-Mart has about 5,000 stores worldwide, and more than 1.5 million employees. In the fiscal year ending in January 2005, the company’s sales revenues amounted to $256 billion.

答案 C
解析 该题的重点仍然是对细节信息的听辨理解，尤其是对数字所传递信息的理解。文中“The statistics are startling”已有明显提示，此后出现的数字都是非常有意义的，它们主要用来说明“The business’ phenomenal growth is just one of its hallmarks.”其中，“phenomenal growth”可理解为“日新月异的进步”。本题选c。
