【导语】本文是一篇说明文。2024年巴黎奥运会于8月11日落下帷幕，中国Z世代运动员在各个项目上的

才华令人印象深刻。然而，人们对奥林匹克精神真谛的看法已经发生了转变。

【16题详解】

空格前的句子“TheyembodiedtheOlympicmottoof"Faster,Higher,Stronger—Together”.（它们体现了“更快、

更高、更强”的奥林匹克格言。）”是说中国Z世代运动员体现出的奥运精神，但是下文说的是人们对奥林

匹克精神真正精髓的看法发生了转变。所以，空格处的句子应该和上文是转折关系，同时引出下文的变化，

所以，G项aYettherehasbeenashiftinperspectivesonthetrueessenceoftheOlympicspirit.（^ffij,人们对奥

林匹克精神真谛的看法已经发生了转变。）”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。
