The Japanese have ordered the highest security levels for the event; they are also worried about the threat of terrorist attacks. [分析] 语义的理解和判断。 根据原文England football fans are expected to travel to Japan for this summer's World Cup 可判断日本是今年世界杯的举办国；又根据The Japanese have ordered the highest security levels for the event 可推断日本为这次赛事采取了严密的安全措施；再根据they are also worried about the threat of terrorist attacks可判断其之所以采取严密的安全措施，是因为日本害怕在赛事期间遭受恐怖主义者的袭击。由此可见，题干“为防止恐怖袭击，今年世界杯的举办国日本为赛事的进行加强了安全措施”的说法与原文相符，因此是正确的。 [解题关键] 注意同义词或短语的替换，是解题的关键。如本题题干中for fear that和 ordered the highest security levels分别与原文worried about和tightened the security同义。
