答案 The Impact of the World Expo on Economic Prosperity [1] The World Expo 2010 was held from May 1st, 2010 to Oct. 31st, 2010 in Shanghai. As with the Beijing Olympics, it represents a [2] landmark and signature event for China on the world stage and [3] has a profound influence on the cultural integration in the city, economic boom in the city, innovation of science and technology in the city and remodeling of communities in the city. Besides, it also [4] helps fuel an explosion of development in the city’s image, facilities, and environment. [5] However, of all the influences that the World Expo has left in the city, its impact on economic prosperity is the strongest one. [6]To begin with, as the world’s highest level of exhibition activity, the World Expo has attracted tens of millions of visitors from home and abroad, which [7] is much helpful in irritating the city’s tourism to grow. Then, with more and more people coming and visiting and staying in the city, catering, entertainment, business and shopping in the city are profited tremendously. According to the World Tourism Organization, during the Expo, direct tourism income of Shanghai has reached 15 billion Yuan while the relevant industry revenue has grown by 4.3 billion Yuan. [6] Secondly, the massive construction of the Expo Site has [8] lured in a great number of investors and created lots of jobs for people in the city. As is known to all, in order to host the World Expo, Shanghai needs to further improve the city’s infrastructures. As a result, a large amount of investment rushed in to improve Shanghai’s roads, transportation, telecommunications, electricity and water supply and other infrastructure facilities, which at the same time offered massive job opportunities for people. Then, as investment increases and unemployment decreases, economy in the city develops better and faster. [6]Last but not least, the World Expo is also the highest level of science and technology exposition, on which many high-tech and innovative achievements, such as new types of cars, energy saving devices and environmental friendly materials, are exhibited and appreciated. Therefore, we have every reason to believe that after the Expo, many achievements will be commercialized and applied, and eventually provide a new profit growth point for the city or even for the whole nation. [9]To sum up, I am not exaggerating the influence of the World Expo on flourishing the economy in the city. It is true that the Expo lasts only for a short period, but if we integrate it with sustainable development, its impact on economic development will be [10] far-reaching.
解析 [1]首句引入世博会的话题。
[2]“里程碑”，选词恰当。
[3]“对…有深远的影响”，选词地道。
[4]“有助于…的迅速发展”。其中fuel在此用作动词，本意为“给…加燃料”，explosion本意为“爆炸”，两个词的运用形象生动。
[5]转折提出文章的观点。
[6]从三方面给出具体的细节支持观点，思路清晰。
[7]“对…很有用”。
[8]lure in“吸引”，相当于attract，选词地道。
[9]承上启下，开始总结观点。
[10]与第一段的profound同义，避免了用词重复。
