What is the main purpose of ancient Olympic Games? [br]
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.
选项
A、Men competed naked.
B、Women were not allowed to watch them.
C、Modern people dislike the activities.
D、Modern people adapt many of them.
答案
C
解析
判断推理题。关于古希腊体育项目中哪个陈述不正确。选项A是明确信息, “古希腊年轻男子裸着身子参赛。”选项B是推理信息, “女性不允许参赛”,短文中也未提及。选项D听力中并未提及,只是说“Modern day spectators would be astonished if the athletes competed naked like the Ancient Greeks did.”现代的观众要是看到运动员像古希腊人一样赤裸着身子参赛的话会感到震惊的。
