From green sporting venues (场馆)     1     (equip) with wind, photovoltaic and other clean energy sources to technological applications including driverless buses and digital torchbearers, green technology became one of the     2     (big) highlights of the 19th Asian Games, held from Sept. 23 to Oct. 8 in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province.

Through the Games, Hangzhou’s green and high-tech development concepts served as models for other cities in China, which also showed the country’s     3     (commit) to low carbon and innovation-driven development.

The 65 venues and related facilities of the Games realized 100 percent green electricity supply. At the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Aquatic Sports Arena, the intelligent light guide system can save 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year by introducing outdoor     4     (nature) light in to the arena through 210 tubes on the roof. At the Fuyang Water Sports Center,     5     variety of green plants made the arena’s greening rate reach 45 percent,     6     can collect carbon and release oxygen, and also make the arena warm in winter and cool in summer.

As Hangzhou     7     (be) one of China’s digital cities, intelligence became a major feature of the Games. The opening ceremony used 3D wire-guided technology in a large space     8     the first time, making the flame lighting ceremony the first digital lighting ceremony. with digital substantive integration. All venues     9     (cover) with 5G systems, new energy charging piles and intelligent management systems, while the tournament was broadcast in 4K ultra high definition,     10     (create) a new immersive viewing experience for viewers.

The Ontario Convention Center was filled with     1     (excite)on Saturday as hundreds of players competed in the 2023 US Open Table Tennis Championships. The tournament attracted players from around the world, among     2     were Wu Bohan and Zhang Yuwen. Representing Peking University,     3     Chinese pair will participate in a series of events to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of Ping-Pong Diplomacy.

When Dell Sweeris, now a 78-year-old, watched the intense action at the championship, fond memories     4     (come) flooding back. With a smile playing on his lips (嘴角), he reflected on how a simple game of ping-pong had once bridged political chasms (鸿沟)    5     brought nations closer together.

“I was so fortunate     6     (be) on the US national team in 1972 when the Chinese team came here,” Sweeris recalled. “They sent legends (传奇人物) here and I luckily traveled with them.”

While     7     (meet) some legendary players of the Ping-Pong Diplomacy era, Sweeris became friends with Liu Wei, a former world champion and now a professor at Peking University.

    8     the coach of the Peking University table tennis team, Liu said his team was on a mission to spread the spirit of Ping-Pong Diplomacy. “It is about the continuity of friendship,”she said. “It will     9    (pass) on to the next generation through the medium of table tennis. One of the driving forces behind this continuity is the     10     (share) love for this sport by the people of both China and the United States.”

Public art installation (装置) Starry Snow accompanied Beijing throughout the Beijing 2022 Games.     1     (consist) of eight large silver “snowflakes,” the installation makes its beauty go beyond the crystal-clear sparkles it gives off. Each of the eight sculptures looks     2     three-dimensional snowflakes. They were created by “weaving” (编织) together numerous rods made of special materials.

The project got its start in 2019 with an     3     (architecture) team at Tsinghua University, whose goal was to exhibit China’s     4     (independent) researched technological findings at the Games. “What we were most concerned about is     5     designs can interpret the Beijing Games’ unique technological theme,” Huang Weixin, the team’s head, told the media. They found inspiration for     6     (they) design from the traditional Chinese weaving technique of bamboo to make furniture.

“We also programed an algorithm (算法) to help us come up with more shapes beyond those     7     (find) in traditional way of weaving. So we have a large variety of shapes,” Huang noted. In the end, the team wove the rods into three-dimensional snowflakes that look different to depending on the angle at which they     8     (observe). Huang revealed that this ever-changing appearance was inspired by the Chinese design philosophy “bu yi, jingyi,”     9     refers to how the scenery changes as one     10     (walk) around.

The Water Cube made its mark in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and saw the glorious moments of many athletes. After Beijing’s     1     (successful) bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics in 2015, a brave and confident idea—to enable it to freely change from water to ice,     2     (put) forward by the capital of China.

Thus, the venue (场馆) would be     3     (benefit) to the public after Games by supplying richer cultural and sports services. After that, the venue would become     4     important heritage of the city and     5     can host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. After repeated efforts, the design team finally controlled the error range from within 50     6     within 2 millimeters. Ice is     7     “sensitive” that curling venues need no air flow, no direct sunlight, and no extra heat to be thrown into the ice.     8     (achieve) this goal, the design team made technical     9     (change) to the nearby environment. The changed “Ice Cube” are for water sports in spring, summer and autumn while for ice sports in winter.

After the Winter Olympics, it will be used for public ice sports training and experience,     10     helps to realize the dream of promoting winter sports among 300 million Chinese people.
