05 2002年冬奥会将在盐湖城举行

ANNCR: 
(Start at 1'05")The Two-Thousand-Two Winter Olympic Games will begin in February of next year. They will be held in and around Salt Lake City, the (2)capital of the western American state of Utah. Shep O'Neal tells us about one of the main sports areas built for the winter games. 
HOST: 
The Utah Olympic Park is high in the Wasatch Mountains, about forty kilometers east of Salt Lake. It is about two-thousand-two-hundred meters above sea level. The (3)mountains receive an (4)average of seven- and-one-half meters of snow each winter. 
The Utah Olympic Park (5)extends over one-hundred-fifty hectares of land. The Park has five areas for ski jump (6)competitions. In warm weather, (7)skiers train on (8)special man-made jumps. 
An Olympic-size track has been built for bobsleigh and (9)luge competitions. It is one of only three such tracks in North America. The track is close to the ground and has fifteen turns. Its path is (10)similar in shape to the land. 
The Utah Olympic Park will hold four major (11)events during the Two-Thousand-Two Winter Games. They are the Nordic skiing, (12)bobsleigh, luge, and (13)skeleton competitions. The skeleton event has not been seen at the Olympics since Nineteen-Forty-Eight. Officials expect it to be extremely popular next year. Athletes competing in the skeleton slide down the track on a luge sled. But they lie on their stomachs instead of their backs. 
The Utah Olympic Park can hold about twenty-thousand people to watch the ski jumping event. It can hold about fifteen-thousand people to see the other events. The Utah Olympic Park already is used for national and international competitions. It also (14)operates as a (15)training center for the competitors. And, young people who wish to join the United States national teams train there. 
The Utah Olympic Park is open to the (16)public during the summer and winter months. Everyone is welcome to watch the athletes train and compete against each other. Visitors also can try some of the Olympic sports. This includes going down one of the ski jumps or riding on the bobsleigh or luge track.
