问题     From the start of the modern Olympics, male athletes of every race, religion, and nationality have been allowed to participate.
    No women competed in 1896. A few female golfers and tennis players were allowed to take part in the 1900 Games. Female gymnasts and track-and-field athletes first competed at the 1928 Games. Women’s Olympic sports have grown hugely since then. Today women make up about half of the total number of competitors.
    This has not been the only change. Figure skating was part of the Summer Games of 1908 and 1920, and ice hockey was played in 1920. They then became part of the Winter Olympics, which was first held in 1924 in France.
    Although founded to help world peace, the modern Olympic Games sometimes become a stage for political arguments. The most controversial Olympics were the Berlin Games of 1936. Under the rule of the Nazis, German Jewish athletes were banned from the German team.
    The Olympic Games were interrupted twice during the First and Second World Wars. The event was not held in 1916, 1940 and 1944.
选项
答案     自现代奥运会诞生之日起，各种族、宗教、民族的男性运动员均被允许参赛。
    1896年奥运会尚无女性选手参赛。1900年奥运会则开始有部分女性高尔夫球选手和网球选手获准参赛。而到了1928年奥运会，女性体操和田径运动员首次出现在比赛场上。此后，奥林匹克运动在女性中发展壮大。如今，女选手大约占据了参赛选手总人数的半边天。
    奥运会的变化还不仅限于此。例如，花样滑冰成为1908年和1920年夏季奥运会的运动项目，此外，1920年的比赛项目中增加了冰球项目。这些项目随后成为冬季奥运会的竞赛项目。首届冬季奥运会于1924年在法国举行。
    举办现代奥运会的初衷在于促进世界和平，但有时它却沦为一个政治纷争的舞台。1936年的柏林奥运会最受争议。当时的德国处于纳粹的统治下，在德国的犹太运动员被禁止代表德国队参赛。
    在第一次和第二次世界大战期间，奥运会曾被迫两度停办。1916年，1940年和1944年未举行奥运会。
