On July 8, 2026, during the break of the FIFA World Cup in the US, a reporter visited the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. The park was built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, but it has a painful memory: a terrorist bomb exploded there during the 1996 Olympics, killing 2 people and injuring 111 others.
Thirty years later, the park has been turned into the official FIFA Fan Festival site for the 2026 World Cup. There are giant screens showing matches, colorful World Cup-themed decorations, and fans from all over the world gathering here to cheer for their favorite teams.
The park does not hide its painful past. There is a “Teardrop Monument” in the park to remember the victims of the 1996 bombing. The monument is shaped like a huge teardrop, with 111 small stones on it to stand for the 111 injured people. Not far from the monument stands a statue of Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, watching over the park quietly.
Thirty years ago, this place was filled with pain and fear. But now, it is full of laughter and joy. The reporter wrote in his article: “Sports is the best medicine to heal wounds. The World Cup held here sends a clear message: darkness can leave scars, but it can never destroy people’s love for beauty and peace.”

D篇(改编自中华网)
The 2026 Milan Winter Olympics gave us many unforgettable moments, but few of them are about winning gold medals. What touched people most was the spirit behind the players' efforts.
Su Yiming, the Chinese snowboarding star, competed in the men's slopestyle event. He had ankle and shoulder injuries before the competition, but he still chose to try the highest difficulty trick in his final run. He finished third and got a bronze medal. "This is my best performance ever," he said with a big smile. "I enjoyed every minute on the snow, and that's more important than the color of the medal."
Another warm moment happened in the women's 10km cross-country skiing race. After American skier Jessie Diggins crossed the finish line, she didn't celebrate her win immediately. She turned around and ran to support Bella Bah, a skier from Iran who finished last. The two skiers hugged each other, even though they didn't speak the same language. This hug was called "the warmest 5 seconds of the Olympics" by many people.
A post-game survey shows that 72% of Chinese viewers think "the efforts and attitude of athletes are more important than medals". This is a big change from 20 years ago, when most people only cared about how many gold medals China got. "We are starting to understand the true meaning of sports," said a sports expert. "Sports are not about beating others. They are about becoming a better person, and about respecting and supporting each other."

B. Most people still think gold medals are the most important.
C. Chinese people's understanding of sports has changed.
D. 20 years ago people didn't care about the Olympics at all.
19. Which of the following would the sports expert agree with?

The 2026 Milan Winter Olympics was not only a stage for young players to show their skills, but also a place where veteran athletes wrote stories of love and persistence.
33-year-old Chinese short track speed skater Fan Kexin took part in her fourth Winter Olympics. After she qualified for the next round of the women’s 500m event, she cried in the interview. “I have been training in short track speed skating for over 20 years. I got up at 4 a.m. every day for training, and spent months recovering from injuries. The gold medal is a goal, but what matters more is what this sport has taught me: how to face failure and stand up again,” she said.
35-year-old Italian skater Arianna Fontana competed in her sixth Winter Olympics. Although she didn’t win a gold medal in the women’s 500m event, the audience gave her warm applause. “The most precious thing is not the medal, but my family cheering for me in the stands, and my teammates going through all the difficulties with me,” she said.
40-year-old Austrian snowboarder Benjamin Karl won the gold medal in the men’s parallel giant slalom, becoming the oldest skiing champion in Winter Olympics history. “Age is just a number. As long as you love the sport, you can keep challenging yourself,” he said.

On July 8, 2026, during the break of the FIFA World Cup in the US, a reporter visited the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta.

The 2026 Milan Winter Olympics gave us many unforgettable moments, but few of them are about winning gold medals. What touched people most was the spirit behind the players' efforts.
Su Yiming, the Chinese snowboarding star, competed in the men's slopestyle event. He had ankle and shoulder injuries before the competition, but he still chose to try the highest difficulty trick in his final run. He finished third and got a bronze medal. "This is my best performance ever," he said with a big smile. "I enjoyed every minute on the snow, and that's more important than the color of the medal."
Another warm moment happened in the women's 10km cross-country skiing race. After American skier Jessie Diggins crossed the finish line, she didn't celebrate her win immediately. She turned around and ran to support Bella Bah, a skier from Iran who finished last. The two skiers hugged each other, even though they didn't speak the same language. This hug was called "the warmest 5 seconds of the Olympics" by many people.
A post-game survey shows that 72% of Chinese viewers think "the efforts and attitude of athletes are more important than medals". This is a big change from 20 years ago, when most people only cared about how many gold medals China got. "We are starting to understand the true meaning of sports," said a sports expert.
