新素材·冬奥会 The Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, which took place from February 6th to 22nd, were special because they were co-hosted by two cities for the first time in Winter Olympic history.
The competition sites were spread across four locations: Milan, Valtellina, Val di Fiemme, and Cortina. Travelling between these places usually took more than five hours one way, as they were 250 to 400 kilometres apart. Because of this, “it was almost impossible to bring athletes from the mountains to the city for the opening ceremony,” Andrea Varnier, the CEO of the Milano-Cortina organizing committee, said.
▲ Apart from the main event in Milan, there were smaller ceremonies and athlete parades in other Olympic locations. Two cauldrons were lit at the same time—one at Milan’s Arco della Pace and the other at Cortina’s Piazza Angelo Dibona, the organizing committee said.
Varnier said that the competition sites were spread out to make use of the already-built ones so they would not be wasted after the Games. Sustainability(可持续性) was a key goal of the Winter Olympics. Even though travelling between the competition sites was difficult, the advantages made it all worth it.
There were 16 sports disciplines and 116 medal events. Ski mountaineering became an Olympic sport for the first time. In this event, athletes first skied uphill, then carried their skis while climbing. At the top, they took the skins off their skis and raced downhill to the finish line.
During the Games, athletes from all over the world competed and celebrated unity and the Olympic spirit. It was an event to remember, showing how the Olympics can adapt and innovate.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2026年米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会的特别之处，包括首次由两个城市共同举办、开幕式的安排、可持续性目标、新增的项目等。
1. C 补全文章题。第二段介绍比赛场地分散在四个地方且相距甚远，很难将运动员从山区带到城市参加开幕式，下文具体介绍开幕式的安排：除了米兰，其他地点也有小型仪式和运动员游行，C项“这就是为什么开幕式不只在单个城市举行。”承接上文，解释开幕式为何以分散的形式进行，引出下文对多地分散仪式的具体介绍。故选 C。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第四段“Varnier said that the competition sites were spread out to make use of the already-built ones so they would not be wasted after the Games.”可知分散使用比赛场地，利用已经建成的场地，避免赛后废弃。故选 B。
