4.Was the London Olympics a success?Many people hold different opinions.However,one thing is certain,London could win a gold medal for hosting the"greenest"Games ever,BBC News reported.
Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction,waste and transport.But things had to be different in London.
What is most impressive is that London considered the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas.2 million tons of polluted soils were removed and 200 old factory buildings were torn down,according to sustainablebusiness.com.But that's not all.99 percent of the debris(废瓦砾)were reused to build the Olympic Park.
As well as using recycled materials,all gymnasiums were built with green building techniques.The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built,which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed.Also,the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent.
The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise.Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater.In this way,about 30-40 percent less water was used in total.Waste food package were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy.
As one of the best connected places in Europe,London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport.For example,it had trains deliver half of the building materials,instead of cars,which greatly reduced carbon emissions(排放).
The clean anti-doping result also added to the greenness of the Games.Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing,which is why the IOC President,Jacques Rogge,has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games.

点评 考查政治经济类阅读.归纳概括题 的做法:
适合这类题型的阅读理解通常具体反映在文章的题目或一段短文的小标题上;很多文章从一开头就直接说出观点,表达中心思想.所以对于这类题型,一定要提示学生注意主题句和主题段,绝大多数的短文类似于语文的老三段,注意段与段之间的联系,注意隐藏的中心思想,准确了解文章结构,把握句与句之间的关系,注重逻辑关系,把握住文章的脉络即可.
