Breakdancing is set to make its debut(首次亮相) as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024, Tony Estanguet, head of the Paris organizing committee, said on February 21. Skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing which have already been added to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, have been invited to return in Paris.
Estanguet said the choices responded to a need to make the Olympics “more urban” and “more artistic”. “We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with the four sports because they are creative, appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision. They reflect perfectly Paris 2024’s identity. ”
Breakdancing is an example of a sport “which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environments. ” It appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head “battles”. In competitive breakdancing, breakers face off in “battles”
against each other, either as individuals or teams. Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics(杂技).
The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10, 500, which limited the opportunity to add sports. But the organizers said the inclusion would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors, including 32 breakdancers. The surfing events are likely to be held in established surf center such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France.
The inclusion still needs to be rubberstamped by the IOC, which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris after next year’s Tokyo Games.
【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道。巴黎组委会主席托尼·埃斯坦盖表示, 霹雳舞将在2024年巴黎奥运会上首次亮相。文章介绍了将霹雳舞等运动纳入奥运会的原因、意义等相关信息。 1. What do we know about breakdancing? A. It involves multiple skills. B. It’s limited to group competition. C. It will show up in Paris 2024. D. It never appeared in the world events.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Breakdancers use a mix
of physical and artistic skills combining elements from gymnastics or acrobatics. ”可知, 霹雳舞者既使用体操又使用艺术技能, 将来自体操或杂技的因素结合在了一起。由此可知, 霹雳舞需要多种技能。故A选项正确。
2. Paris organizers have chosen the four sports because they ______. A. attract young people B. perfectly reflect Paris’ identity C. make Paris more urban and artistic D. can be played anytime and anywhere
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with the four sports because they are creative, appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision. ”可知, 因为这四项运动具有创造性, 吸引年轻人, 完全符合委员会的愿景。故A选项切题。 3. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. 10, 500 competitors will compete for the new sports. B. More surf centers will be specially designed for Paris 2024. C. The IOC will reject the proposal because of inadequate facilities. D. The inclusion won’t require additional competition space to be built. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But the organizers said the inclusion would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors, including 32 breakdancers. The
surfing events are likely to be held in established surf center such as Biarritz or Lacanau in southwest France. ”可知, 这项计划不需要建造永久性设施, 只涉及248名参赛者, 其中包括32名霹雳舞参赛者。冲浪比赛很可能在法国西南部的比亚里茨或拉卡诺等既定的冲浪中心举行。由此推知, 这项计划不会再需要重建额外的场地。故D选项正确。 4. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “rubberstamped”?
A. Approved. B. Canceled. C. Submitted.
D. Designed.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据“which is expected to decide on which sports to add in Paris after next year’s Tokyo Games. ”可知, 国际奥委会将在明年东京奥运会后决定在巴黎(奥运会)增加哪些体育项目。由此推知, 前面应该指“增加这些比赛项目仍然需要国际奥委会的同意”。故该划线词应表示“同意, 认可”这样的意思, 故A选项切题。
B
Mountain bike races in South Africa are very common and one of the best ways to really experience the sport is to enter an MTB race. Competing is good fun and a challenge for all who participate but for some it means real competition and racing for some good MTB race results. These MTB events are almost always out in the country in some beautiful locations with routes that often are only rideable for the event. Staying over and seeing more of South Africa, meeting other riders and
generally just hanging out is what makes it all so attractive. These events may be called races but for most they are really just personal challenges and a way to get out and ride.
Every year the race calendar seems to get longer and offer more options to mountain bikers. Not only are the number of events increasing, but the number of different types of events have also increased in the last few years. Traditional club, provincial and national mountain bike cross country race was the cornerstone of racing. Then there were also some classic endurance mountain bike races and marathon events. But as more and more people started entering races the classic distances of 60km-80km were a bit long for new comers. This led to half marathons in the 30-40km range, making mountain bike racing more accessible to more people.
But at the same time the longer endurance multi-day mountain biking events have also become very popular. Now there are several multi-day mountain bike races around. 24-hour MTB races have also gained popularity. They had been around for a while, but recently sponsors and organizers have put together a 24-hour MTB series that takes place around the country. Night riding and racing is another new area which has become popular. With the use of special bright night lights, mountain biking at night has brought another whole dimension to riding your everyday trail.
