But in many cases, efficiently utilizing (利用) the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics. London, Britain The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3,000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas. Beijing, China Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia’s largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history. New York, America The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It’s not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government. Helsinki, Finland Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre. 1．Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums? A．To boost national pride. B．To earn international reputation. C．To increase financial returns. D．To reduce environmental impacts. 2．Which city applied its sports venue to housing improvement? A．Beijing. B．London. C．Helsinki. D．New York. 3．How does the present Olympic Village in Lake Placid differ from the others? A．It has been remodeled into a prison. B．It features cultural exhibitions. C．It is equipped with advanced facilities. D．It allows commercial activities. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个采取不同的方法来充分利用他们的奥运建筑的城市。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But in many cases, efficiently utilizing (利用) the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country.(但在许多情况下，有效利用赛后场馆，使持续的经济效益最大化，是主办国的主要考虑因素之一。)”可知，组织者试图重新利用他们的奥运场馆来增加经济回报。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据London, Britain部分的“The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3, 000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate.(伦敦夏季奥运会奥运村被改造成3000套高端公寓，入住率接近95%。)”可知，伦敦将其体育场馆用于住房改善。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据New York, America部分的“The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution.(位于普莱西德湖的奥运村现在不再欢迎运动员，而是作为联邦惩教所关押着罪犯。)”可知，现在位于普莱西德湖的奥运村与其他奥运村的不同之处在于它被改造成了一座监狱。故选A。 Passage 2 (23-24高三上·广东潮州·期末) Eggs-perimenting with eggs What can you do with eggs other than eat them? Naked Eggs What does an egg look like without its shell? You may be picturing the white and yolk in a bowl after cracking it, but that isn’t the only way to remove the shell. Materials: an egg, white vinegar, a bowl, a spoon Directions: Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg. Walking on Eggshells Can Eggs hold the weight of your entire body? Materials: six cartons (硬纸盒) of eggs, a garbage bag Directions: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the cartons of eggs into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction— either all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. Make sure your foot is as flat as possible and that you are distributing your weight evenly. If you’re careful, you will succeed. Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess. 1．In the first experiment, what causes the eggshell to dissolve? A．Vinegar. B．Water. C．Bubbles. D．Residue 2．What makes the eggs strong enough to walk across? A．The position of eggs. B．The number of eggs. C．The weight of eggs. D．The distribution of eggs. 3．What was the author’s purpose in writing this text? A．To persuade readers to use eggs in new ways. B．To entertain readers with funny use for eggs. C．To tell readers some ways to experiment with eggs. D．To inspire readers to conduct experiments carefully. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了两个用鸡蛋做实验的方法。 1．细节理解题。根据Naked Eggs下的Directions：“Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg. (在碗中加入一杯醋。将鸡蛋加入碗中，等待至少24小时。当你一天后检查它时，你会注意到鸡蛋上有一些气泡和水中的残留物。用勺子轻轻地把鸡蛋从碗里舀出来。倒出旧醋，加入一杯新醋。将鸡蛋放回碗中，再等24小时。当你这次取出鸡蛋时，蛋壳应该完全溶解了。剩下的将是蛋的成分（蛋黄和蛋清）。)” 可知在第一个实验中，是醋导致蛋壳溶解，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据Walking on Eggshells下的“Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess.（鸡蛋实际上非常结实。鸡蛋顶部和底部的拱形形状可以使压力均匀地分布在鸡蛋上。如果你把鸡蛋放在它们的侧面，你可能会得到一团黏糊糊的东西。）” 可知是鸡蛋的分布让这些蛋足够结实，可以走过去，故选D。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，可知文章主要讲述两个用鸡蛋做实验的方法，所以目的就是告诉我们鸡蛋除了吃，还可以用来做实验以及具体的实验方法，故选C。 主题05 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 (24-25高三上·广东深圳罗湖区·期末) Qatar offers a diverse mix of attractions, from peaceful nature spots to lively city centers.

But in many cases, efficiently utilizing (利用) the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics. London, Britain The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3,000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas. Beijing, China Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia’s largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history. New York, America The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It’s not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government. Helsinki, Finland Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre. 1．Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums?

Naked Eggs What does an egg look like without its shell? You may be picturing the white and yolk in a bowl after cracking it, but that isn’t the only way to remove the shell. Materials: an egg, white vinegar, a bowl, a spoon Directions: Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg. Walking on Eggshells Can Eggs hold the weight of your entire body? Materials: six cartons (硬纸盒) of eggs, a garbage bag Directions: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the cartons of eggs into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction— either all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. Make sure your foot is as flat as possible and that you are distributing your weight evenly. If you’re careful, you will succeed. Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess. 1．In the first experiment, what causes the eggshell to dissolve? A．Vinegar. B．Water. C．Bubbles. D．Residue 2．What makes the eggs strong enough to walk across? A．The position of eggs. B．The number of eggs. C．The weight of eggs.
