What is the main purpose of ancient Olympic Games?
To trace the origins of the modern Olympic Games we must travel back nearly 3,000 years in time to Ancient Greece, when young men proved their physical prowess and fighting skills by competing in sporting activities. But the ancient Olympic Games were not solely about sporting endeavour; they were also used as an opportunity for the Greeks to honour their gods, particularly Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, whose massive statue stood in the Valley of Olympia.
Many of the sports practised by the Ancient Greeks still exist in an adapted form today, including wrestling, boxing, running, jumping and throwing contests. But there are important differences. Modern day spectators would be astonished if the athletes competed naked like the Ancient Greeks did.
Although the Olympic Games fell into decline after Greece was conquered by the Roman Empire in 146 B.C., the spirit of the games did not die away altogether. International interest grew, and in 1894 a French aristocrat called Pierre de Coubertin hosted a congress at the Sor-bonne University in Paris in order to suggest a new modern Olympic Games. De Coubertin’s ideas were met with international approval and the first Olympic Games of the modern age took place in Athens in 1896.
Since then the Olympics have gone from strength to strength, with competitors from all over the world taking part, and billions more watching on television.

解析
细节题。古代奥林匹克运动会的主要目的是敬神。此题的信息点位于转折连词but后“But the ancient Olympic Games were not solely about sporting endeavour;they were also used as an opportunity for the Greeks to honour their gods,particularly Zeus,the king of the Greek gods,whose massive statue stood in the Valley of Olympia.”古代的奥林匹克运动会不仅是运动,同时也是敬神的一种形式,尤其是敬宙斯——古希腊众神之首,其伟大的雕像屹立于奥林匹亚山谷之中。句子的重点是转折连词后的信息。
