雅思阅读材料：伦敦奥运会开幕式（双语）

　　出席奥运会开幕式的政要包括美国第一夫人米歇尔?奥巴马和英国首相卡梅伦。开幕式定于伦敦当地时间晚上9点开始。博伊尔和其他人此前已向卡梅伦简要介绍了开幕式演出的情况。卡梅伦说，我认为演出的一两个瞬间将令观众感到震撼。

　　The first set is a pastoral scene: a cricket match, meadows covered in real grass and live animals-including some 70 sheep, a dozen horses and an assortment of geese and other farmyard stock. Later are expected to be tributes to the industrial revolution and Britains state health-care system-as well as the nations future in a digital age. Even the royal family gets a look-in with an expected prerecorded segment inside Buckingham Palace. A spokeswoman for the queen declined to comment.

　　开幕式演出的第一幕是田园风光：板球比赛，真草铺就的草地以及活生生的动物，其中包括大约70只羊，12匹马，各式各样的鹅及其它家养牲畜。预计接下来的几幕分别是工业革命、英国的国家医疗保健体系以及英国数字时代的未来等。预计英国王室也会出镜，开幕式上会播放在白金汉宫提前录好的一些片段。英国女王的发言人拒绝置评。

　　Music also will play a prominent role, from composer Edward ElgarNimrod to two pieces written by electronic band Underworld, who made their breakthrough after their song Born Slippy was used in Mr. BoyleTrainspotting. The final act is expected to involve former Beatles member Paul McCartney leading a singalong.
