every four years,except three times,when there were wars.The modern Olympic games have many foot races and field sports programs.The longest race in the games is calledmarathon.Before the start of the

Games will start on July 23,2021 because of the ongoing COVID-19.The Olympics will still be called Tokyo 2020.Japan,the host country of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games,has promised to hold the most innovative(创新的)Games ever organized.On July 24,2019,the Olympic Committee(奥委会)expressed its first bright idea medals(奖牌)were made from old phones and other electronics.The idea was first introduced in 2016 by a group of young Japanese students.They wanted to raise awareness(意识)of the serious electronic waste produced by the countrys tech-loving people who change their electronics very often.Japanese people threw away 650,000 tons of electronics every year,only about 100,000 tons of which are recycled.To help the environment and raise the awareness,the Olympic Committee started the Everyones Medal program in February 2017.The program encouraged people to drop off used electronics at specific location bins set up by Japans Environmental Sanitation Center.It seems to be hard to gather the 8 tons of materials needed to make the 5,000 Olympic and Paralympic medals.However,they had nothing to worry about.By the time the collection ended in March 2019,around 79,000 tons of used cellphones and other small electronics had been collected.In total,the program got 32 kilos of gold,3,500 kilos of silver,and 2,200 kilos of bronze 一 more than enough to make every medal.The Olympic Committee hopes the Tokyo 2020 medals will help raise awareness of the alarming increase in electronic waste 一 not just in Japan but worldwide 一 and cause people to rethink whether they need to change their electronics unnecessarily.As Kohei Uchimura,who got three Olympic gold medals,said:Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic medals will be made out of peoples thoughts for avoiding waste.I think there is an important message in this for the future.Though Japan is the first Olympic host country to make all the medals using metals from used electronics,it is not the first to think of the idea.Brazil made about 30%of the silver and bronze medals for the 2016 Summer Olympics from recycled materials.30.The Tokyo Olympic Games will _.A.start on July 23,2020 B.be called Tokyo 2021 C.be put off till

location bins 32.Which is the right order of the following events?the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games.Japanese students introduced the idea.the Olympic Committee expressed a bright idea.the collection of the used electronics.A.B.C.D.33.According to the passage,we can infer(推测)that _.A.all Japanese people have no awareness of electronic waste B.the Everyones Medal program has not finished yet C.the electronic waste is increasing around the world D.Japan is the first country to think of the idea 34.This passage is mainly about_.A.Japan is the host country of the 2020 Summer Olympics B.Japan will make medals from used electronics to help the environment C.the Olympic Committee started the Everyones Medal program D.Brazil made medals for the 2016 Summer Olympics from recycled materials 二、完型填空 On Tuesday,Japan and the International Olympic Committee(IOC)announced a piece of news.The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are 35 until 2021 because of the coronavirus(新冠病毒).This is 36 third time the Olympics have been postponed(推迟)in the 124-year history of the Games.The move is very disappointing for many 37 who have been preparing for this summer for years.The news itself is also not

we all need to do the right thing.”This is the first time the Olympics have ever been delayed.But in the 43 ,they have been canceled three times-once during World War and twice during World War.The
