“Green Games” became a calling card for the 19th Asian Games, which were held from Sept 23 to Oct 8 in Hangzhou and five other cities in Zhejiang.
To make the Games the world’s first waste-free sporting event, green energy sources were used at all 56 competition venues (场馆).
Some of the renewable (可再生的) electricity used at the venues was photovoltaic energy (光伏能源), transmitted (传输) from areas such as Qinghai and Gansu. Another source was wind power which was made in areas including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
A digital management platform was also started to help achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和) during the Asian Games. On the platform, digital technologies were used for managing carbon emissions (排放) from venues in the six cities where the Games were held. The technologies included data collection and emissions reduction (减排) and evaluation.
Among all of the Games’ 56 competition venues, just 12 were newly built. The rest were existing facilities (设施) repaired as part of the organizers’ mission of sustainability (持续性).
The Shangcheng Sports Centre Stadium, the venue used for soccer events at the Games, was first built in 2019. During the venue’s renovation, its solar-film ceiling and spectator (观众) seating – both of which had been used for 14 years but remained in good condition – were kept after being scientifically assessed (评估). This helped to reduce building costs by nearly 8 million yuan.
The race track of Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre’s velodrome (自行车赛场) was covered with 374 interchangeable components (部件) which can continue to be used after the competition ended.
Zhejiang also improved public entry to the venues and hosted sports events in them. During the one-year delay (推迟) of the Games due to the pandemic, the venues were put aside but still kept in use. Since May 2022, all of the available venues have received 10 million visits, allowing the public to experience the world-class facilities.
These venues will continue to be used for sports and public fitness after the Games. Venue owners and operators have developed post-games plans for 51 venues.
19.What kind of renewable energy sources were used at the competition venues?
A.Solar energy and wind power.
B.Hydroelectric power and geothermal energy.
C.Biomass and tidal energy.
D.Nuclear power and natural gas.
20.What was the goal of the 19th Asian Games in terms of waste management?
A.To use green energy sources at all competition venues.
B.To achieve carbon neutrality during the Games.
C.To repair and renovate existing facilities.
D.To reduce building costs for venues.
21.How many of the competition venues were newly built for the 19th Asian Games?
A.12. B.56. C.51. D.The article does not mention it.

A.They were newly built and modern.
