问题     40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Gutt-mann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
    In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 Wheelchair Olympic Games, 1 064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
    The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwill-ingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded. [br] From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is______.
选项 A、in favor of holding the games for the disabled
B、against holding the games for the disabled
C、a disabled person who once took part in the games
D、one of the organizers of the games for the disabled
答案 A
解析 本题问从文章中我们可以得出结论，作者的观点是什么。根据文章最后一段的内容，这次运动会取得了巨大成功，它增进了国际友谊和了解，向世人证明，残疾并不意味着不能享受运动。不过，有一点令运动会的举办者和参加者失望的是：国际奥委会一直不愿意将残疾人比赛项目纳入健全人奥林匹克运动会。也许还需要几年时间才能说服那些没有致残的幸运儿们，不应该将他们的残疾同胞排除在外。由此我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是A“作者是赞同为残疾人举办运动会的”。
