2024-2025学年山东省乳山市银滩高级中学高三上学期1月月考英语试题 二、阅读理解 A What happens to old Olympics stadiums after the medals have all been awarded Here are four host cities taking a different approach, repurposing their Olympics structures for less sporty uses. Los Angeles, California The Grand Olympic Auditorium was constructed in 1924, and after the Games it continued to host boxing and wrestling matches. The building even served as the film set for parts of Rocky. The venue was so well known around Hollywood — hosting greats like Cassius Clay, Rage Againstthe Machine, Andre the Giant and Little Richard.
