When athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics collect their medals, they'll not only be wearing something that celebrates their sporting performance, but something that symbolizes lastingness. For both the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, organizers aim to make all of the gold, silver, and bronze medals out of used electronics. This strong message about how to make use of e-waste has gotten a lot of Japan involved.

Starting in April 2017, the Japanese Olympic Committee began collecting old laptops, digital cameras, smartphones, and other abandoned electronics. The initiative(倡议）has achieved great success. Already, the quantity needed for bronze medals has been met, and they're in the homestretch for silver and gold

medals, meaning the collection process can pack up at the end of March.

When looking just at the number of cell phones collected, the amount of waste is shocking. In a period of about 18 months, a little over 5 million smartphones were collected thanks to cooperation with NTT DOCOMO. Japan's largest mobile phone operator allowed the public to turn in phones at their shops, which counted a lot in the project’s success.

After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics underwent a smelting process to extract(提炼）all the gold, silver，and bronze elements. Thanks to this initiative, the worldwide struggle with e-waste will have a global platform. According to a study published by the United Nations University—44.7 million metric tons of

e-waste were made in 2016. Only 20% of that was actually recycled. Unfortunately, this figure is set to rise significantly in the coming years, moving to 52.2 million metric tons by 2021. So while the Tokyo Olympics initiative might be just a drop in the bucket, it’s a good start in showing what the public can do if they're made more aware of the issue.

8. What can be learnt about Tokyo Olympics initiative from the passage?

A. E-waste in the world is increasing significantly.

B. It is easy to get elements needed from the used electronics.

C. Only producers of electronics participated in the project.

D. NTT DOCOMO contributed to the success of the project.

9. Which can best replace the underlined word “homestretch” in Paragraph 2?

A. starting period

B. collection effort

C. final stage

D. hard search

10. What influence does the Tokyo Olympics initiative have?

A. It offers an effective method to solve the problem of e-waste.

B. It shows the power of advanced technology in daily life.

C. It saves the expense spent in making all the medals.

D. It encourages the public’s involvement in dealing with e-waste.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you're into sports, you've seen it happen. You've probably even experienced it:Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging clothes after an intense 90 minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round. 36 What's going on?

It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace style, and dignity.

You show good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the judges, and other officials. 37 Cheerleaders, fans,and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.

You've probably seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously a goal with a victory dance or constantly talk proudly about their abilities 38 This kind of behavior might make you feel tough to an opponent, but keep in mind that it can also cause you to lose the match. Plenty of games have been lost to penalties gathered from"unsportsmanlike conduct”

Everyone feels great when they win. Good sportsmanship takes maturity and courage when you work really hard at a sport, it's not easy to admit you made a bad play In competition as in life- you may not always win but you can learn something from losing, too.

It's pretty tough to lose. Sometimes it's hard to swallow your pride and walk on.

39

When you do lose-- and it will happen-- don't take it out on your opponent, blame the officials, or blame your team. Being proud of how you performed, or at least being aware of things you need to improve for next time, is the key. When it comes to losing, good sportsmanship means congratulating the winners willingly. 40

When you win, the trick is to be a gracious and generous winner. Good sportsmanship means being quietly proud of success, and letting victories speak for themselves.

A.But there's always the next match.

B.It seems like competitors in every event behave this way.

C.This is the exact opposite of what sportsmanship is all about.

D.But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field.

E.Some people define good sportsmanship as the"golden rule"of sports.

E.You're able to know how to work as part of a team to complete a project.

G.Also,it means accepting the game's outcome without complaint and without excuse
