The PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics ran from 9 to 25 February. As the next host city of the Winter Olympics, Beijing presented a show for the handover ceremony. Beijing's eight - minute show at the closing ceremony of PyeongChang 2018 demonstrated a confident and modern China and extended China's warm welcome to the whole world in a high - tech way, said Zhang Yimou, chief director of the show.
“Modern China is not the same as it used to be ten years ago. We have held the Olympics and told the world our history of five thousand years. This time at PyeongChang 2018, we prefer to present to the world the new achievements of contemporary China rather than repeat the story long before,” said Zhang.
“The show has combined high technology and traditional performance together. In order to highlight winter sports, we have adopted the gestures of skating and skiing. Our performers are not the traditional dancers or singers, but they can manage both winter sports and performances,” added Zhang.
One of the biggest challenges both performers and high - tech equipment needed to overcome was the extreme temperature. The closing ceremony of PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics was held in the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium, which is an outdoor stadium, and the temperature was freezing cold during the Games.

答案： 4. B 词义猜测题。demonstrate 意为“展示”。B 项 showed 最合适，为正确选项。A 项 achieved（取得）、C 项 repeated（重说）、D项 challenged（向……挑战），均不符合语境。5. C 细节理解题。由最后一段可知，表演者和高科技设备在直播表演当天需经受极端温度的考验，C 项正确。由第三段第一句可知，A 项错误。B、D 项在文中未提及。因此选 C。6. C 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可知，A 项正确。由第二段第二句可知，B 项正确。由第一段最后一句可知，张艺谋只是在平昌冬奥会闭幕式中导演了“北京八分钟”的表演，并不是导演了平昌冬奥会的开幕式表演，C项错误。由第一段第二句可知，D 项正确。因此选 C。7. A 归纳概括题。A 项较全面地概括了本文的主要内容。B、C、D 项均只片面地概括了文中的部分内容。因此选 A。
