内容简介

The Olympic Torch Since 776 B.C., when the Greek people held their first-ever Olympic Games, the Games were hosted every four years at the Olympia city. Back then, a long journey for the Olympic torch was made before the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games. The Greek people would light a cauldron of flames on the altar, a ritual devoted to Hera, the Greek Goddess of birth and marriage. The reintroduction of flame to the Olympics occurred at the Amsterdam 1928 Games, for which a cauldron was lit yet without a torch relay. The 1936 Berlin Summer Games held the first Olympic torch relay, which was not resumed in the Winter Olympics until in 1952. However, in that year the torch was lit not in Olympia, Greece, but in Norway, which was considered as the birthplace of skiing. Until the Innsbruck 1964 Winter Olympics in Austria, the Olympic flame was reignited at Olympia. The torch is originally an abstract concept of a designer or groups of designers. A couple of design groups hand in their drafts to the Olympic Committee in the hope that they would get the chance to create the torch. The group that wins the competition will come up with a design for a torch that has both aesthetic and practical value. After the torch is completed, it has to succeed in going through all sorts of severe weather conditions. The appearance of the modern Olympic torch is attributed to a Disney artist John Hench, who designed the torch for the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. His design laid a solid foundation for all the torches in the future. The long trip to the Olympic area is not completed by one single torch, but by thousands of them, so the torch has to be replicated many times. Approximately 10,000 to 15,000 torches are built to fit thousands of runners who take the torches through every section of the Olympic relay. Every single runner can choose to buy his or her torch as a treasurable souvenir when he or she finishes his or her part of the relay. The first torch in the modern Olympics (the 1936 Berlin Games) was made from a slender steel rod with a circular platform at the top and a circular hole in the middle to jet flames. The name of the runner was also inscribed on the platform as a token of thanks. In the earlier days, torches used everything from gunpowder to olive oil as fuels. Some torches adopted a combination of hexamine and naphthalene with a flammable fluid. However, these materials weren’t exactly the ideal fuel sources, and they could be quite hazardous sometimes. In the 1956 Olympics, the torch in the final relay was ignited by magnesium and aluminium, but some flaming pieces fell off and seared the runner’s arms. 《雅思阅读》适用对象： 初次接触剑桥雅思考试（学术类，A类）的考生；IELTS英语阅读基础薄弱的考生；不熟悉IELTS雅思阅读题型、缺乏阅读训练的考生；想要提高雅思阅读分数的考生；需要进行课堂教学或自测的雅思培训班师生。 推荐理由： 1. 雅思阅读基础入门，夯实词汇与语法两大基础，90篇机经真题阅读大题量训练； 2. 通过分析剑桥雅思真题题库以及机经阅读真题，总结出雅思阅读12类常考主题词汇，快速熟悉常考话题； 3. 精选30篇与真题同源的阅读文章，并提供核心词汇注释和全文翻译，进一步强化雅思阅读高频词汇，了解雅思阅读真题的行文逻辑； 4. 雅思阅读解题句常见的11类句法难点，结合真题实例逐个讲解，教你分析解题句的结构，了解句式转换的原理，识别同义替换； 5. 三大实战应试技巧和5种题型的解题策略，实战应对，冲刺高分； 6. 收集了90篇近年来的实考雅思阅读机经真题，进行精心校对，还原程度几乎与真题一样，配有全文翻译和详细解析，拆解至少1200个考点、精读了1200个解题句； 7. 书内扫码，即可观看知识点同步讲解课程，线上线下学习、随时随地随意切换。
