According to the experts, what will make the stadi

22、um safer?2. When is the passage mainly about?The Beijing National Stadium, also known as the birds nest will be the main track and field stadium for the 2019 Summer Olympics and will be host to the Opening and Closing ceremonies. In 2019 Government officials engaged architects worldwide in a design

23、competition. Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron collaborated with ArupSport and China Architecture Design & Research Group to win the competition. The stadium will seat as many as 100,000 spectators during the Olympics, but this will be reduced to 80,000 after the games. It

24、 has replaced the original intended venue of the Guangzhou Olympic Stadium. The stadium is 330 meters long by 220 meters wide, and is 69.2 meters tall. The 250,000 square meter gross floor area stadium is to be built with 36 km of unwrapped steel, with a combined weight of 45,000 tons. The stadium w

25、ill cost up to 3.5 billion yuan 422,873,850 USD/ 325,395,593 EUR. The ground was broken in December 2019, and construction started in March 2019, but was halted by the high construction cost in August 2019.In the new design, the roof of the stadium had been omitted from the design. Experts say that

26、this will make the stadium safer, whilst reducing construction costs. The construction of the Olympic buildings will continue once again in the beginning of 2019.In depth. The stadiums appearance is one of synergy, with no distinction made between the facade and the superstructure. The structural el

27、ements mutually support each other and converge into a grid-like formation - almost like a birds nest with its interwoven twigs. The spatial effect of the stadium is novel and radical, yet simple and of an almost archaic immediacy, thus creating a unique historical landmark for the Olympics of 2019.

28、The stadium was conceived as a large collective vessel, which makes a distinctive and unmistakable impression both from a distance and when seen from up close. It meets all the functional and technical requirements of an Olympic National Stadium, but without communicating the insistent sameness of t

29、echnocratic architecture dominated by large spans and digital screens.Visitors walk through this formation and enter the spacious ambulatory that runs full circle around the stands. From there, one can survey the circulation of the entire area including the stairs that access the three tiers of the

30、stands. Functioning like an arcade or a concourse, the lobby is a covered urban space with restaurants and stores that invite visitors to stroll around. Just as birds stuff the spaces between the woven twigs of their nests with a soft filler, the spaces in the structure of the stadium will be filled

31、 with inflated ETFE cushions. Originally, on the roof, the cushions were to be mounted on the outside of the structure to make the roof completely weatherproof, but the roof has been omitted from the design in 2019.While the rain was to be collected for rainwater recuperation, the sunlight was to fi

32、lter through the translucent roof, providing the lawn with essential ultraviolet radiation. On the facade, the inflated cushions will be mounted on the inside of the structure where necessary, e.g. to provide wind protection. Since all of the facilities - restaurants, suites, shops and restrooms - a

33、re all self-contained units, it is possible to do largely without a solid, enclosed facade. This allows for natural ventilation of the stadium, which is the most important aspect of the stadiums sustainable design.The sliding roof was an integral part of the stadium structure. When it was to be clos

34、ed, it would have converted the stadium into a covered arena; however, the sliding roof was eliminated in an effort to cut costs and increase overall safety of the radical new structure.【主题阅读3】Questions before you read:1. What is the benefit of playing catch with Dad?2. Why the game was a

35、reflection of our relationship?When I was young, it wasnt the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring. It was baseball. I loved everything about the game the crack of a bat, the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass, even watching the games on our old black-and-whi

36、te TV. Yet looking back now, nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual 老规矩 of playing catch with my dad.Dad was never much of a baseball fan, but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air, he would grab his old mitt 棒球手套 and head out to the yard w

37、ith me just the same. There was something beneficial about playing catch with him, the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air, and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting. We may have been 50 feet apart, but the flight of that ball connected us, forming as strong a relationship as any f

38、ather-son talk ever could have. I was never the star of my Little League team, yet Dad never cared about that. Every year, he would be out there, waiting to field any false throw I sent his way. As I grew older, I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship that even if a problem did

39、nt involve a glove and a ball, Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction. His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me not only to my love of baseball but also to my life. Ive often heard it said that “the devil is in the details. Now I realize that in

40、my relationship with my father, love was in the details. Questions after you read:True or False:1. When the author was young, he didnt care much about the company of his father.2. The authors father practiced catching baseball with him on warm spring days, having a father-son conversation

41、with him3. We can learn from the passage that the authors father always stood by him whenever he was in trouble. 4. The passage mainly about the authors sweet memory of his fathers love for him. ADaredevil climber Alain Robert, known as the French Spiderman, stood strong winds and rain to climb the

42、worlds tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101, Saturday. Robert, dressed in red rain jacket, tights and climbing shoes, climbed up ropes hung down the side of the 101-storey, 1,667-foot office tower, reaching the top in around four hours. “It was a very big moment and I felt a lot of satisfaction though I w

43、as so tired and nearly all of my muscles were painful. I felt completely eased. said Robert after taking the ride down in one of the towers lifts, the worlds fastest. Several hundred on-lookers and shoppers gathered at the base of the tower watching and cheering Roberts progress through live picture

44、s on a large television screen. At times he disappeared from view as clouds passed by the top of the tower surrounding the upper stories. The 42-year-old Frenchman has covered scores of well-known structures around the world including the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Towerwithout permission

45、or any safety equipment or ropes. This time Robert was wearing a harness 背带 fastened to safety ropes for the entire climb. He used the ropes to pull himself up most of the way, using his hands and feet to climb up the walls for only short sections. He said that the management had requested he wear t

46、he ropes and safety equipment, which had also become necessary due to the rain making the windows and frames very slippery. Robert said he would not carry his pity the next time. 1.

50、duces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze 热潮.Since Beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed a

51、stonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski

52、resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.Beijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private cars. This

53、 has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capitals suburbs, which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.The problem i

54、s making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.The ski resort where Mr. Wei work

55、s cost nearly $4m to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same
