【答案】16.G17.E18.F19.B20.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。2024年巴黎奧運(yùn)會(huì)于8月11日落下帷幕，中國(guó)Z世代運(yùn)動(dòng)員在各個(gè)項(xiàng)目上的

才華令人印象深刻。然而，人們對(duì)奧林匹克精神真諦的看法已經(jīng)發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變。

【16題詳解】

空格前的句子“TheyembodiedtheOlympicmottoof"Faster,Higher,Stronger—Together”.（它們體現(xiàn)了“更快、

更高、更強(qiáng)”的奧林匹克格言。）”是說(shuō)中國(guó)Z世代運(yùn)動(dòng)員體現(xiàn)出的奧運(yùn)精神，但是下文說(shuō)的是人們對(duì)奧林

匹克精神真正精髓的看法發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變。所以，空格處的句子應(yīng)該和上文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，同時(shí)引出下文的變化，

所以，G項(xiàng)aYettherehasbeenashiftinperspectivesonthetrueessenceoftheOlympicspirit.（^ffij,人們對(duì)奧

林匹克精神真諦的看法已經(jīng)發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變。）”填入空格處，符合語(yǔ)境。故選G項(xiàng)。

【17題詳解】

空格前的句子“OnAug4,21-year-oldZhengQinwenmadehistoryforChinesetennisbywinningthefirstgold

medalinwomen'ssinglesforbothChinaandAsia.（8月4日，21歲的鄭欽文在女子單打比賽中為中國(guó)和亞洲贏

得了第一枚金牌，創(chuàng)造了中國(guó)網(wǎng)球的歷史。）”是說(shuō)鄭欽文創(chuàng)造了歷史，空格處的句子應(yīng)該是說(shuō)它的歷史意

義，所以，E項(xiàng)“Thisextraor
