背景阅读
Opening Ceremony Welcomes Greener Winter Olympics

The opening ceremony of an Olympic Games, be it the Summer or Winter Games, is normally an extraordinary, intricately choreographed extravaganza, which attracts hundreds of millions of viewers on television across the world. It is also a spectacle, a majestic show, through which the host nation showcases its culture, history, traditions, and socioeconomic achievements.
The message of the opening ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games was peace, which was conveyed through the flying apsaras, the moving types, the Chinese paper scroll, the ancient Chinese drums, the Olympic rings and the colorful fireworks.
But the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games on the evening of Feb 4 was different, yet spectacular. The audiences were treated to a pared down ceremony, without the large-scale artistic performances that marked the 2008 opening ceremony, but it was no less symbolic — symbolic of a shared future for humankind.
In a bid to hold a simple, safe and yet spectacular Winter Games, the opening ceremony on Friday was not lengthy or marked with a large-scale performance. Even the number of performers — about 15,000 in 2008 — was down to 3,000, and the duration of the ceremony reduced to about 100 minutes because of the cold weather and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Olympic cauldron at the snowflake-themed ceremony was small, but the flames conveyed significant messages of greener Olympic Games.
The use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine vision, 5G and cloud broadcasting added to the novelty of the opening ceremony. The performances, carrying forward the theme of global peace and shared future for humankind, focused on environmental protection, and human health and physical fitness, highlighting the importance of sports to instill new confidence in the international community to contain the pandemic.
Through Friday's opening ceremony, people can clearly see China's pursuit of building a peaceful world, its reflection of the new Olympic motto of "Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together" and the Beijing Winter Games' motto of "together for a shared future".
By reducing the duration of the opening ceremony, China has adhered to the concept of "Green, Inclusive, Open and Clean" Beijing Winter Olympics. That the reduced duration also lowered the cost was an added bonus.
To reduce the carbon footprint of the Winter Games, all the Olympic venues are being run on clean energy — and after the Games they will be open for the public all year round and will stage high-level winter sports events. Also, during the preparations for the Games, all the work was done in an environmentally friendly manner. For example, about 70 percent of the materials used in the Games have been obtained through lease, including new sporting equipment, furniture in the Olympic village, technical devices, even bed sheets and quilt covers.
In line with Beijing 2022's concept of hosting a green Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, the medal podiums are made of recyclable and environmentally friendly materials. Hand-knitted bouquets, rather than real flowers, will be presented to the winners. The cashmere bouquets, in fact, will not only look like the real bouquets even after years but also honor the concept of sustainability.
More important, thrift, a traditional Chinese virtue, can help build a healthy social environment for China to realize its targets of peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and realizing carbon neutrality before 2060. All this make the 2022 Winter Games an important Olympics to focus on achieving carbon neutrality.
For China, holding a simple, safe and yet spectacular opening ceremony is not just a slogan, it's a philosophy, a way of life in the true sense of term.（From China Daily，2022-2-5）

开幕式欢迎更绿色的冬季奥运会
无论是夏季奥运会还是冬季奥运会，开幕式通常都是一场非凡的、精心编排的盛大表演，吸引着全球数亿电视观众。它也是一种奇观，一种庄严的表演，通过东道国展示其文化、历史、传统和社会经济成就。
北京2008年夏季奥运会开幕式的主题是“和平”，这一主题通过飞天、动人的字体、中国纸卷、古老的中国鼓、奥运五环和五彩缤纷的烟花等形式传达。
但2月4日晚举行的北京2022年冬奥会开幕式却与众不同，但却十分壮观。观众们观看了一个精简的仪式，没有像2008年开幕式那样的大型艺术表演，但它的象征意义丝毫不减——象征着人类共同的未来。
为了举办一届简单、安全、壮观的冬奥会，周五的开幕式既不冗长，也没有大型表演。由于天气寒冷和新型冠疫情，2008年约1.5万名表演者也减少到了3000名，演出时间也缩短到了100分钟左右。在以雪花为主题的开幕式上，奥运圣火很小，但圣火传递了绿色奥运的重要信息。
人工智能、机器视觉、5G和云广播等先进技术的使用，为开幕式增添了新意。这些表演弘扬了全球和平和人类共同命运的主题，重点关注环境保护、人类健康和身体健康，强调体育在向国际社会灌输遏制这一流行病的新信心方面的重要性。
通过周五的开幕式，人们可以清楚地看到中国对建设一个和平世界的追求，它反映了新的奥林匹克格言“更快、更高、更强- Together”和北京冬奥会的格言“共享未来”。
通过缩短开幕式时间，中国坚持“绿色、包容、开放、清洁”的理念。持续时间的缩短也降低了成本，这是一个额外的奖励。
为了减少冬奥会的碳足迹，所有的奥运场馆都将使用清洁能源，而且在奥运会结束后，这些场馆将全年向公众开放，并将举办高水平的冬季体育赛事。此外，在奥运会的筹备工作中，所有的工作都以环保的方式进行。例如，大约70%的奥运会材料是通过租赁获得的，包括新的体育器材、奥运村家具、技术设备，甚至床单和被罩。
根据北京2022年冬奥会举办绿色冬季奥运会和残奥会的理念，领奖台由可回收环保材料制成。获胜者将获得手工编织的花束，而不是真花。事实上，羊绒花束不仅看起来像真正的花束，而且还尊重可持续发展的理念。
更重要的是，节俭作为中国的传统美德，可以为中国实现2030年达到碳排放峰值、2060年实现碳中和的目标提供一个健康的社会环境。所有这些都使2022年冬奥会成为一届致力于实现碳中和的重要奥运会。
对中国来说，举办一场简单、安全、壮观的开幕式不仅仅是一句口号，而是一种哲学，一种真正意义上的生活方式。
Eileen Gu’s Unique Success Not a Textbook
（By Berlin Fang | chinadaily.com.cn | 2022-02-10）

With Eileen Gu winning the gold medal in the women's freestyle skiing big air competition at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, one of the factors that has drawn global attention is her education. Apart from skiing, the 18-year-old athlete has won admission to Stanford and has a successful career in modeling.
Eileen prompted the Chinese people into a deja vu "tiger mom" moment. Tiger parents are known for strict discipline, high expectations, and a focus on excellence. "Tiger mom" Amy Chua's daughters have given violin recitals at the Carnegie Hall, with one going to Harvard and another to Yale. One of her daughters clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the US Supreme Court.
Now, many parents in China attribute Eileen Gu's success to her mom. But parents trying to turn their children into another Eileen Gu may be dismayed to find the cut-and-paste function does not work in real life. Not to belittle the role of individual resolve and efforts, we should acknowledge that socioeconomic status and family resources play important roles in a person's development. We are not talking about Jack London who used sheer will power to blaze a trail with a pen and some paper. Sports take a lot more.
Having a child who plays tennis for the school's varsity team, I know how much sports can cost. Young athletes take private lessons, buy tennis shoes and rackets, entry fees to compete in tournaments, chipping in for snacks, all add up and become costly. In addition, rich families can afford to have a parent staying home to drive a child to sports events without having to worry about missing work and pay. No wonder rich school districts have better teams.
Yet all of these conditions are nothing compared with some other sports, say, freestyle skiing in half-pipe, slope-style or big air. Eileen was fortunate to have all the stars aligned in the direction of her success. Most of all she has a passion for skiing, an upbringing with a skier mom, and coaches who supported her.
For many Chinese parents, success stories like those of Eileen Gu, concert pianist Lang Lang, and Sophia and Louisa (children of Amy Chua) seem to suggest that pushing children to achieve success works. What they often fail to realize is that their parents have the financial, academic and social resources needed to ensure their children achieve success.
Lang Lang's parent is a musician. Amy Chua is a professor at Yale. Eileen Gu's mom Gu Yan attended Beijing University, earned her MBA at Stanford, is a skiing coach, and has a successful venture capital firm. Such parents can afford an elitist education for their children, and education which has both academic enrichment and extracurricular fulfillment.
But I don't mean to say the rest of the parents just need to lie flat and wallow in misery.
First, I encourage governments to focus on public education. If a family fails to provide the right conditions for their children to succeed achieving their goals, I hope the public education system can pick up. Let no potential Olympian stop dreaming due to their families' inability to pay for private lessons or practices. Governments, businesses and non-profit organizations, too, should do their bit to provide equitable educational opportunities for children.
Second, more universities should rethink the use of standardized tests as the main criterion for admission. To be sure, the pandemic is accelerating the demise of standardized tests as one of the many methods to assess applicants.
Those schools that have not done so should follow. Standardized test scores have come to increasingly depend on a family's riches. Tests like SAT and ACT used to measure a person's intelligence and aptitude, but obviously smart people have figured out "test-taking strategies" that rich families can take advantage of through expensive remedial instruction.
In a sense, the "double reduction" policy back in China, which refers to restrictions on school homework and private training, may play a role in easing the education inequality caused by differences of family backgrounds.
And third, I encourage fellow parents to be aware of reality. Eileen Gu is one in a million. Just do the best you can for your own children in whatever way you can. Not every child has to perform at the Carnegie Hall or compete in the Olympics to be a happy person.
Besides, success is really overrated in terms of living a fulfilling and impactful life. My son, who plays tennis, has taught me that the reason for playing tennis is learning to succeed without being mean or to fail without losing hope. There is a lot of fun hitting balls, chewing the fat with coaches and fellow players, and occasionally winning a game or two at school or in a tournament.
And my daughter, who plays the violin, has taught me the joy of service as she played with her high school band Revolution Strings for schools, churches, nursing homes and at weddings. They have found love and joy in sports and music. Their joy and love are all the satisfaction I need as a parent.

谷爱凌的独特成功不是教科书
随着谷爱凌在北京2022年冬奥会女子自由式滑雪大型空中比赛中获得金牌，她的教育背景成为了全球关注的因素之一。除了滑雪，这位18岁的运动员还被斯坦福大学录取，并在模特界取得了成功。
谷爱凌让中国人进入了一种似曾相识的“虎妈”时刻。众所周知，虎父母纪律严明、期望高、追求卓越。“虎妈”蔡美儿(Amy Chua)的女儿曾在卡内基音乐厅(Carnegie Hall)举办小提琴独奏会，其中一个就读于哈佛大学，另一个就读于耶鲁大学。她的一个女儿是美国最高法院大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺(Brett Kavanaugh)的书吏。
如今，许多中国父母将谷爱凌的成功归功于她的母亲。但是，那些想把自己的孩子变成另一个谷爱凌的父母可能会沮丧地发现，剪贴功能在现实生活中不起作用。不要小看个人决心和努力的作用，我们应该承认社会经济地位和家庭资源在一个人的发展中发挥重要作用。我们谈论的不是杰克·伦敦(Jack London)，他完全依靠自己的意志力，用一支笔和几张纸开辟出一条道路。运动需要更多的时间。
我有一个在学校打网球的孩子，我知道运动的花费是多少。年轻的运动员参加私人课程，购买网球鞋和球拍，参加比赛的报名费，凑钱买零食，所有这些加起来都很昂贵。此外，富裕家庭可以负担得起父母在家开车送孩子去看体育比赛，而不必担心失去工作和收入。难怪富裕的学区有更好的球队。
然而，所有这些条件都无法与其他一些运动相比，比如自由式滑雪、斜坡式滑雪或高空滑雪。谷爱凌很幸运，所有的星星都对准了她成功的方向。最重要的是，她对滑雪充满了热情，她的母亲是一名滑雪运动员，她的教练也支持她。
对于许多中国父母来说，像谷爱凌、钢琴演奏家郎朗以及蔡美儿的孩子索菲亚和路易莎这样的成功故事似乎表明，推动孩子取得成功是成功的。他们往往没有意识到的是，他们的父母有财力、学术和社会资源，以确保他们的孩子取得成功。
郎朗的父母是一位音乐家。蔡美儿(Amy Chua)是耶鲁大学教授。谷爱凌的妈妈谷燕毕业于北京大学，在斯坦福大学获得MBA学位，是一名滑雪教练，并拥有一家成功的风险投资公司。这样的父母可以为他们的孩子提供精英教育，这种教育既有学术丰富又有课外实践。
但我的意思并不是说其他的父母只能平躺在痛苦中。
首先，我鼓励各国政府重视公共教育。如果一个家庭不能为他们的孩子提供合适的条件来实现他们的目标，我希望公共教育系统能够恢复。让任何潜在的奥运选手都不要因为他们的家庭无力支付私人课程或训练而放弃梦想。政府、企业和非营利组织也应该尽自己的一份力量，为儿童提供公平的教育机会。
第二，更多的大学应该重新考虑将标准化考试作为主要录取标准的使用。可以肯定的是，新冠疫情正在加速标准化考试作为评估申请者的众多方法之一的消亡。
那些没有这么做的学校应该效仿。标准化考试成绩越来越依赖于一个家庭的财富。像SAT和ACT这样的考试用来衡量一个人的智力和能力，但显然聪明人已经想出了“应试策略”，富裕家庭可以通过昂贵的补习教育利用这些策略。
从某种意义上说，中国的“双减”政策，即限制家庭作业和私人培训，可能会起到缓解家庭背景差异造成的教育不平等的作用。
第三，我鼓励同行的父母们意识到现实。谷爱凌是百里挑一的人。尽你所能为你的孩子做最好的事。不是每个孩子都要在卡内基音乐厅表演或参加奥运会才能成为一个快乐的人。
此外，就过充实而有影响力的生活而言，成功确实被高估了。我儿子打网球，他教我打网球的原因是学会成功而不卑鄙，失败而不失去希望。打球有很多乐趣，与教练和队友聊天，偶尔在学校或锦标赛中赢得一两场比赛。
我的女儿会拉小提琴，当她在高中的“革命弦乐”乐队为学校、教堂、养老院和婚礼演奏时，她教会了我服务的快乐。他们在体育和音乐中找到了爱和快乐。他们的快乐和爱，正是我作为父母所需要的。

Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. “It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide（CO2）cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant (制冷剂) like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
1. What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making?
A. The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B. The quality of the ice will be affected.
C. The ice surface will be more consistent.
D. It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
2. Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?
A. It’s the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B. CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C. CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D. CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
3. What is Gao’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?
A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Favourable.
4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B. Beneath Olympic Ice.
C. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
D. The Structure of Ice.
【答案】BCDB
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北京冬奥会在制冰的原料和技术上的精益求精。
1. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.”（这些杂质不适合水结冰时形成规则的六边形冰结构。水越纯净，冰面越稳定。）可知，制冰用水中有杂质，冰的质量会受到影响。故选B项。
2. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.”（作为大气的一种成分，二氧化碳不会破坏臭氧层。虽然二氧化碳是一种温室气体，但其温室效应远低于其他人造制冷剂。冬奥会场馆在制冰过程中采用二氧化碳代替氟利昂作为制冷剂，这将大大减少二氧化碳的排放。）可知，二氧化碳冷却技术被应用于冬奥会是因为二氧化碳比氟利昂更加环保。故选C项。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way”（我们相信，这些技术创新将以更令人印象深刻的方式将北京2022年冬奥会带给世界各地的观众。）可知，高波对于二氧化碳用于制冰持有支持态度。故选D项。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.”（2021年1月，北京冬奥会标志性场地“冰带”的制冰工作已经完成。）以及文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了北京冬奥会在制冰的原料和技术上的精益求精，所以“Beneath Olympic Ice”（冬奥会滑冰场的秘密）可以作为文章标题。故选B项。

Chinese athletes were highlighted by a series of inspirational wins in the International Ski Federation’s World Cup circuit recently. China’s Gu Ailing, a Chinese freestyle talent, made history by becoming the first ever back-to-back freeski World Cup winner in two different events at the same venue after claiming the slopestyle title in Calgary, Canada, on Feb.15, 2020. The day before, Gu had stormed to her first Cup gold in the halfpipe competition.
Gu again thrilled the crowds on Feb.15 in the slopestyle with another impressive display of technical riding, landing a string of difficult tricks, including a massive right 900° twist with a tail grab in her second run that earned her 89.18 points to dominate the 18-strong field.
“Honestly, my mind is blown,” Gu told the FIS website after the competition. “Coming in I didn’t have any expectations. I try not to take anything for granted. Honestly, I could not have expected two wins from these events.”
“I really just came in trying to do my best and ski the way I knew I could. Skiing my best is really the best part of this, and being rewarded for it just makes it even better.”
Born to a Chinese mother and an American father in San Francisco, US, Gu, better known as Eileen in the States, completed a naturalization process last June to represent China in international competitions.
Now she has her sights set on doing her mother’s home country proud at the 2022 Beijing Games.
A talented skier who has won many national junior titles in the US, Gu became a hit last month after winning two golds and a silver — in halfpipe, Big Air and slopestyle — at her first appearance in Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland.
With Gu now on board in freeski, China’s snow sports team, which also features world-class aerial skiers and halfpipe snowboarders, is determined to challenge Western dominance on the snow in 2022.
