24、mpics in Beijing, China over the last few days will have seen lots and lots of snow - man-made snow. Since the area gets little natural snow, this is the first time the Winter Olympics is taking place on almost 100% artificial snow.This years Winter Olympics are being held in Beijing, China, and in
25、two areas northwest of Beijing, Yangqing and Zhangjiakou. The areas get cold in the winter, but they dont get a lot of snow. Thats because theyre not far from the Gobi Desert, and are generally very dry. That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics there. China took water
26、from areservoirwhich helps supply Beijings drinking water and sent it to a nearby river. To carry the water to the mountains for making snow, the country ran miles and miles of pipes. China says making the snow took about 49,000 gallons (185,500 liters) of water. Outside experts say it probably took
27、 a lot more water than that. China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow. TechnoAlpin created artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics. For the snow in this years Olympics, TechnoAlpin laid over 40 miles (64 kilometers) of pipe and brought in hundreds of snow-makin
28、g machines. Even with all of those machines, making the snow for this years Games took seven weeks.Its useful to be able to make snow when nature doesnt provide enough. But artificial snow isnt the same as natural snow, which has more air and less water. An athlete used to natural snow might have to
29、 adjust their style on man-made snow.Still, the machines that make artificial snow are quite advanced. They can make several different kinds of snow depending on whats needed for each sport. For example, the snow they make for downhill skiing is different from the snow made for cross-country skiing.
30、A few athletes have complained about the snow at this years Olympics. Most others say its been just fine.In recent years, it has become more and more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events. Thats true even in places that used to have a lot of snow naturally. Some artificial snow was u
31、sed in the Winter Olympics in 2010 and 2014 because of warm weather. In the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, roughly 90% of the snow was man-made.As the world warms because of climate change, problems like this are expected to become far more common. Michael Mayr, who leads TechnoAlpin in Asi
32、a, says, “You could not have winter sports now without man-made snow.”12Why does the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics use artificial snow?ATo save energy.BTo keep athletes happy.CTo provide enough snow.DTo protect the environment.13To create the snow, China first has to_.Abuilt a reservoirBlay miles of
33、pipesCfind the source of waterDcarry the water to the mountains14TechnoAlpin was chosen to create the snow for_.Athe friendship between China and TechnoAlpinBthe request of the Olympic CommitteeCthe lack of snow making company DTechnoAlpins rich experience15What does the author mainly want to tell u

66、is fed by many small streams.”（这个湖被美丽的白雪皑皑的群山环绕，由许多小溪组成。）可知，西藏羊卓雍湖也被白雪皑皑的群山所环绕，由此可知，喀纳斯湖和羊卓雍湖的共同点是它们都被雪山环绕。故选C项。3细节理解题。根据“Erhai Lake, Yunnan”部分关键句“As the lake has a shape of an ear, it gets the name Erhai.（由于这个湖有耳朵的形状，所以得名洱海。）可知，洱海之所以有这个名字是因为它看起来像一只耳朵。故选A项。B篇【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了文森特梵高的个人经历以及导致他作为艺术家失败
67、的几点原因。4细节理解题。根据第一段中“He was unlucky to live only for 37 years and to discover his love for art at the age of 27. Therefore, he worked as an artist for only 10 years of his life. (不幸的是，他只活了37岁，并在27岁时发现了自己对艺术的热爱。因此，他一生中只有10年的时间是艺术家)”可知，文森特在27岁之前对艺术毫无爱好。故选A。5细节理解题。根据第三段中“Perhaps one of the reasons for h
68、is failure as an artist is his clumsy behavior when he suffered from mental illness. Another reason is his short-tempered nature and rudeness which most of the time brought him bloody fights with his fellow Gauguin that ended up with cutting off Vincents ears. Moreover, he was always dirty and not w
69、ell-dressed, which made people avoid dealing with him and buying his artistic works. Furthermore, his poor health gave more blows to his life and caused an early death to such a great artist.

70、购买他的艺术作品。此外，他的健康状况不佳给了他更多的打击，导致了这样一个伟大的艺术家的早逝)”可知，有四个理由可以说明文森特作为艺术家的失败。故选C。6细节理解题。根据第三段中“Moreover, he was always dirty and not well-dressed, which made people avoid dealing with him and buying his artistic works.(此外，他总是很脏，穿着不讲究，这使得人们避免与他打交道，购买他的艺术作品)”可知，人们不喜欢和文森特交易是因为他一团糟。故选A。7主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Although
71、Vincent painted 900 paintings and more than 1,100 drawings, his works remained unknown and unsold and his brother Theo supported him financially during his lifetime.(文森特虽然画了900多幅画和1100多幅素描，但他的作品一直默默无闻，没有出售，他的弟弟西奥在生前为他提供了资金支持)”以及最后一段“Vincent van Gogh is just an example of the talented people who fail
72、ed in their pursuit of glory.(文森特梵高只是有才华的人在追求荣耀时失败的一个例子)”并结合文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了文森特梵高的个人经历以及导致他作为艺术家失败的几点原因。由此可知，这个故事主要告诉我们在黑暗中播下的种子可能会在以后开花。故选B。C篇【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了音乐人Schmieder创建了一个由不同国家不同年龄的音乐家组成的团队，他们在一起合作交流，他们希望通过他们的音乐和友谊使世界更和平。8细节理解题。根据第二段“Eduard Schmieder is the programs conductor and musical director,

74、gh their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful.”（他们坐在一起，成为朋友，他说，通过他们的音乐和友谊，他们让世界变得更加和平。）可知，前文Schmieder提及一些音乐家们来自于交战国，是想以此表达音乐使世界更和谐。故选B。10词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句“Schmieder said they include winners of major music competitions.”（Schmieder说其中包括了一些重要音乐比赛的获奖者。）可知，参加这个项目的音乐家都是非常有才华，有成就的人。划

79、chnoAlpin in Asia, says, “You could not have winter sports now without man-made snow.”（随着全球因气候变化而变暖，预计像这样的问题将变得更加普遍。TechnoAlpin亚洲负责人迈克尔迈尔(Michael Mayr)表示:“如果没有人造雪，现在就不可能有冬季运动。”）可知，由于气候变化，天然雪不能满足冬奥会的用雪要求，所以人造雪成为了冬奥会的必需。故选C项。这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些方法来帮助我们用英语思考问题，锻炼我们大脑的英语思维能力。七选五：16F.
