For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps. Environmentalists screamed "Disaster!" Thus warned, the Norwegians have adopted "green" advice and avoided great blots on the landscape. The speed-skating rink was built to look like an overturned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary. Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient. The bobsled run is built out of wood, not metal and hidden among trees. No wonder the president of the International Olympic Committee has called these the first "Green Games."
Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation. During construction, builders were threatened with $7,500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily. Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides. Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in turn, to pigs. Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests.
Environmentalists have declared partial victory: though Coca-Cola’s plan to decorate the town with banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes. Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories. Bullets will be plucked from biathlon targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water. And these tricks won’t be forgotten. Embarrassed by environmental protests, the I. O. C. claims that green awareness is now entrenched—along with sport and culture—as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter.
Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in part on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace. Aspiring host cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the ’88 Games. After that, who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement? [br] In which area did the environmentalists fail in Lillehammer?
选项
A、Energy.
B、Smoking.
C、Housing.
D、Advertising.
答案
D
解析
推断题。根据文章第二段:“…biogas produced by rotting vegetation…Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in…”,以及第三段第一句,“Environmentalists have declared partial victory:though Coca Cola’s plan to decorate the town with banners has been scaled back,there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes.”,(环保主义者称他们取得了部分胜利,因为尽管可口可乐试图用标语装饰该城的计划被取消了,但还是有许许多多迎合绿色倡导者口味的广告牌。),第三段第二句说“…athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories,”可见,D 为正确答案。
