话题03北京冬奥会
(一)
On the evening of February 4, when the last two torchbearers(火炬手)ran to the center of the Bird’s Nest with the “flying” torch, the whole audience was silent and attracted attention.
The stage appeared slowly and the torch was gently put into the base. At this time, the “flying” began to change into a butterfly, and the crystal clear display screen turned into a “snowflake”, holding the flame(火焰)in the air.
In the history of the Olympic Games, the lighting ways of the main torch have been creative. But the main torch of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games is still displayed in an unexpected way in front of hundreds of millions of audiences around the world--- low fire, screen display and dancing in the air. With the support of science and technology, the main torch of the Winter Olympic Games put ice and fire together perfectly!
Three inventions create a fantastic main torch. “The biggest creation in the Research and Design of the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is the low fire design, video display and the complete form over the Bird’s Nest by the controlling system, which is fantastic in the 100-year history of the Olympic Games.” Liu Yue, the technical director of the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, said in an interview with the science and technology daily.
Why use low fire design It is to better show the idea of green, low-carbon(低碳)and sustainable development. The Olympic torch before was always using fire with huge energy waste. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games used green energy—hydrogen(氢气)as fuel.
On the evening of February 4, the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics was successfully lit. Liu Yue, who experienced the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics from birth to appear amazingly, can’t hide his pride and joy. At this time, he and his team members finished their task and successfully made a difference to the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has created the highest viewing rate in the history of the Winter Olympics.
It utilized some of China’s newest achievements in science and technology. Here are some of the different technologies used in Beijing.
Venues(场馆) The Games’ venues have undergone many innovations (创新). One major one is the world’s first venue that shifted from a swimming center to a curling sheet (冰壶场): the National Aquatics Center. Formerly known as “Water Cube”, as it hosted the swimming and diving competitions in the 2008 Summer Olympics, the center is now called the “Ice Cube”, set to host curling competitions. Following the Games, the venue will continue to be used for both winter and summer sports, switching between the two depending on the season.
Robots A series of different kinds of robots were deployed to help visitors and athletes. Some machines were also used to enforce social distancing requirements related to COVID-19. Robots were also transporting equipment, cleaning surfaces and preparing and carrying food to limit human-to-human contact. “Smart” waste containers were also used, as well as machines that could make and serve alcoholic drinks and coffee.
Hydrogen-fueled vehicles (氢燃料汽车) Zhangjiakou put into use 655 hydrogen-fueled vehicles for transportation and logistics (物流)support services during the games. A hydrogen-fueled vehicle can be refueled quickly, and realize a low temperature start of -30℃. Each vehicle travelling 10,000 km can reduce carbon dioxide emission by about 11. 8 tons. “First, our hydrogen vehicles are environmentally friendly and energy saving. Second, it’s safer. Third, it’s suitable for cold areas, ” said a bus driver in Zhangjiakou.
Super High-Speed 4K Camera System The super high-speed 4K camera system, or called “4K cheetah” developed by the China Media Group over the past five years, was used for broadcasting the speed skating events. During the speed skating competition, the speed of athletes can reach 15 to 18 meters per second, which is about 50 kilometres per hour, and some athletes can even reach 70 kilometres per hour, which requires a real-time synchronization(同步)of the speed of broadcast equipment. With this equipment, referees could identify all of athletes’ movements with their naked eyes.
1．The underlined word “shifted” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．developed B．changed C．destroyed D．disappeared
2．What technology was used to help make sure the required social distance
A．Robots. B．Venues.
C．Hydrogen-fueled vehicles. D．4K Camera System.
3．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A．All of the cleaning, serving and cooking were done by machines.
B．A hydrogen-fueled bus might stop working at a low temperature.
C．Referees could see the movements of the athletes through “4K cheetah”.
D．The “Ice Cube” will continue to be used for winter sports all the year round.
4．What is the main purpose of the article
A．To tell us the importance of science and technology.
B．To show the world how advanced China has become.
C．To encourage students to volunteer in the next Olympic Games.
D．To introduce some technologies used at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了北京冬奥会期间使用的四种高科技.
1．词义猜测题.根据“a swimming center to a curling sheet”和“Following the Games, the venue will continue to be used for both winter and summer sports, switching between the two depending on the season.”可知,原来在夏季比赛中用于跳水和游泳的水立方转换成了冰立方,用来进行冬季项目.所以shifted应该与changed同义,表示“转变、改变”,故选B.
2．细节理解题.根据“Some machines were also used to enforce social distancing requirements related to COVID-19.”可知,机器人被用来保持社交距离.故选A.
3．细节理解题.根据“The super high-speed 4K camera system, or called “4K cheetah” developed by the China Media Group over the past five years, was used for broadcasting the speed skating events.”和“With this equipment, referees could identify all of athletes’ movements with their naked eyes.”可知,裁判们使用4K cheetah来观察运动员的动作.故选C.
4．主旨大意题.通读全文可知,本文介绍了北京冬奥会期间使用的场馆、机器人等四项高科技,所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍北京冬奥会期间使用的高科技.故选D.

A wireless electronic thermometer(温度计)was developed by a Shenzhen-based high-tech company. It has played an important role in COVID-19 prevention for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
The intelligent product, independently made by Shenzhen Refresh Intelligent Technology Co. weighs only two grams. It can monitor surface body temperature every three seconds. It has helped provide a safe environment during competitions at the “Ice Cube.”
“As far as we know, there is no smaller thermometer than ours in the global market. Users can hardly feel the thermometer while wearing it,” said Wang Lei, the vice president and marketing director of Refresh.
“The wireless electronic thermometer is very small and comfortable to wear. It also has excellent temperature measurement accuracy (准确性). Our product was chosen because of its higher level of convenience and accuracy, compared with the infrared (红外线的) thermometer, ” Wang said.
The thermometer’s monitoring management system monitors the temperature of each staff and volunteer in real time for 24 hours at the “Ice Cube.” Abnormal body temperature will cause an alarm to work by sending messages to the management workers.
Wang said that the wireless thermometer is mainly developed for family users. For parents who are not with their sick children, they can know of the children’s body temperature changes at any time with the thermometer through the app.
