Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时7′)
Beijing，with co-host Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei Province，won the bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics.Winning the bid will benefit the capital as well as its residents，so the below are something to be expected from the Winter Olympic Games.
Blue skies
Efforts to control pollution ahead of the 2008 Games dramatically improved the air quality in Beijing，at least for a while.Once again，expectations are high that staging the Winter Olympic Games will push Beijing to reduce pollution and improve the air quality more effectively.
Beijing began implementing a five-year plan from 2013 that cost 130 billion U．S.dollars to upgrade heating systems，cut car emissions and close heavy-polluting plants.Such efforts will not only be made in Beijing but in neighboring Hebei and Tianjin as well，as suggested by a development action plan to integrate (结合) the three places.Hopefully，blue skies will become a regular feature even after the Games.
Transportation
Although Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Games，Chongli county of Zhangjiakou
in Hebei will host some of the snow events.
The capital region is likely to benefit from investments in infrastructure (基础设施)，including the Beijing-Zhangjiakou intercity railways，expansion of Beijing subway systems，upgraded highway networks and another regional airport.
Winter sports
Beijing’s vision is to develop a winter sports market for more than 300 million people in northern China.
With a rich legacy left by the summer Olympics，China plans to reuse 11 of 12 venues built for the 2008 Olympics and only needs to build a new rink for speed skating，effectively easing possible problems of facilities being left idle after the Games. Transformation
On the back of the Winter Olympics，the Beijing municipal government is looking at fostering sports-related industry as a new growth driver to power its economy.
The goal is to integrate the Winter Games with sustainable development plans for the wider region，focusing on clean energy，green technology，and improvement in ecology and air quality.
Tourism
The country’s plans to develop a winter sports industry will enhance Zhangjiakou’s reputation as a tourist destination by upgrading its transportation system and facilities，such as hotels and restaurants.

Ⅲ.任务型阅读(建议用时13′)
Adversity (逆境) is an important part of the human condition.If you have a passion for life，you have to accept every aspect of life，including adversity.Throughout your life，you’ll be faced with all kinds of challenges.Some are going to be more difficult than others.The key is to learn how to appreciate the process of overcoming adversity in your life.
You will meet with failures，breakups and personal losses.Although these events don’t “physically” hurt you，they will test your mental and emotional strength.You should understand that adversity is part of life.You should also understand that pain and suffering cannot be avoided
in life.Overcoming adversity is easily done with an enlightened (开明的) attitude.
It is also necessary to establish external sources of support in order to overcome adversity.When you face a difficult challenge，be modest enough to admit that you might need help.On many occasions overcoming adversity requires teamwork.Let your loved ones — your friends and family — assist you when you cannot deal with the situation by yourself.Your willingness to work with others is a sign of personal development.
Make sure that your personal development is achieved with an attitude of optimism.Overcoming adversity is made more difficult by the presence of self-doubt.A positive attitude will help you win more battles in your war against adversity.
Adversity is the enemy that you can’t see，but you know it is there when you are struck with fear.Whatever happens，don’t panic.As long as you remain calm，you will find a way.Fearful situations are actually good for your personal growth.When you get used to the fear，and when you can act intelligently even when you are afraid，overcoming adversity is going to be much easier.
Overcoming adversity is like being in a boxing match without judges.You are going to lose if you don’t get up after being knocked down.But if you keep getting up，you can’t be defeated.Life can beat you up and knock you down，but as long as you can get back on your feet，you can overcome anything.In your own personal growth，teach yourself to get up after every fall.
A large number of people who have achieved great success have turned overcoming adversity into an art，which is no doubt worth learning.However，most of what you’ll learn with regard to defeating this invisible enemy is going to be learned through what happened to you personally.Just make sure that you’re ready to learn the lessons that life is about to teach you.
