2.About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, 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 Stroke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sports 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 developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stroke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as die normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stroke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1, 604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.

    问答题
    The History of the Olympic Games  The first Olympic games at Olympia were held in 776 B.C. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 B.C. were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa.  The games were held every four years from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D. when they were abolished by the Christian Byzantine Emperor Theodosius I. The ancient Olympic Games lasted for 1,170 years. If the Modern Olympic games last that long, they will still be held in 3066 A.D.  The ancient Greeks were highly competitive and believed strongly in the concept of competition or contest. The ultimate Greek goal was to be the best. All aspects of life, especially athletics, were centered around this concept. It was therefore considered one of the greatest honors to win a victory at Olympia. The fact that the only prize given at Olympia was an olive wreath illustrated this point. The athletes competed for honour, not for material goods.  In ancient Greece, games were closely connected to the worship of the gods and heroes. Games were held as part of religious ceremonies in honour of deceased heroes. Games were also held in the context of many ancient fertility festivals. Later, the Olympic games began to be usurped by the prominent cult of Zeus, and eventually lost much of their religious character.  The Greek calendar was based on the conception of the four-year Olympiad. When Greek historians referred to dates, they most often referred to a year within the Olympiad that the event occurred. The winner of the state race in a given year had the Olympiad named in honour of him. The first Oympiad is therefore known as that of Koromikos of ELis, the winner of the state in 776 B.C.  Every four years for over 1,100 years, from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D., thousands of people ceased all warfare and flocked to a small sanctuary in north-western Greece for five days in the late summer for a single reason—to witness the Olympic Games. During that time, competitors from all over the Greek world competed in a number of athletic events and worshipped the gods at the sanctuary of Olympia. However, unlike modern Olympics, only free men who spoke Greek could compete and the games were always held at Olympia instead of moving around to different sites every time.  From the beginning, the games at Olympia served to strengthen the Greek sense of national unity. During the Hellenisitic period, Greeks who came to live in foreign surroundings such as Syria, Asia, and Egypt, strove to hold on to their own culture. One of the ways they did was to build athletic facilities and continue their athletic traditions. They organized competitions, and sent competitors from their towns to compete in the Panhellenic games. In the 2nd century A.D., Roman citizenship was extended to everyone within the Roman empire. After this point there were many competitors from outside of Greece, and the Olympic games became more internationalized. When the Greek government reinstated the games in 1896, this internationalized character of the competitions was preserved by Baron de Coubertin. Now, the Olympic games attract competitors from countries all over the world.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    奥运会的历史 第一届奥运会于公元前776年在奥林匹亚举行。学者们已经推断出公元前776年举行的运动会不是第一届运动会,但是它是被确定为每四年举行一次的运动会的第一届,当时伊里斯和比萨两座城市达成了和平协议。
    从公元前776年到公元393年奥运会每四年举行一次,后来被信奉基督教的拜占庭帝国的狄奥西多一世废除。古奥运会一直持续了l,170年。如果现代奥运会也能持续这么长时间的话,就可以一直延续到公元3066年。
    古希腊人极具竞争精神,坚信“竞争”或“比赛”。古希腊人最高的目标就是成为最棒的。生活的方方面面,尤其是体育,都是围绕着这一理念。因此,能在奥林匹亚赢得胜利被认为是最崇高的荣誉。奥林匹亚赛事的唯一奖品就是橄榄叶花环也充分地说明了这一点。竞赛者是为了荣誉而战,而不是为了获得物质利益。
    在古希腊,比赛与对神和英雄的崇拜紧密相关。比赛也被视为宗教仪式的一部分,以纪念逝去的英雄。同时,比赛也在很多庆丰收的节日里举行。后来,奥林匹亚运动开始被显赫的宙斯膜拜夺去了光环,并最终失去了它的宗教色彩。
    希腊的历法基于每四年一次的奥林匹亚运动会的理念。当希腊的历史学家提到日期的时候,他们通常会参考事件发生时所举办的那一届奥运会所在的年份。某一年奥林匹亚运动会的获胜者将赢得以他的名字来命名这届奥运会的殊荣。因此第一届奥运会又被称为伊里斯的考诺弥科斯运动会,他是公元前776年奥运会的获胜者。
    从公元前776年到公元393年的1,100多年里,成千上万的人停止所有的战争,蜂拥到希腊西北部的小神殿,在夏末举行为期五天的运动会,目的只有一个——观看奥林匹亚运动会。在比赛期间,来自希腊各地的竞赛者在一系列的比赛项目中角逐并膜拜奥林匹亚神殿里的神灵。然而,与现代奥林匹亚运动会有所不同的是,只有那些能说希腊话的自由人才能参加比赛,而且比赛只能在奥林匹亚举行,而不是每次在不同的地方举办。
    从最初开始,奥运会的目的就是加强希腊人的民族团结精神。在希腊化时期,那些在异国,例如叙利亚、亚洲和埃及居住的希腊人努力维持他们自身的文化。其中的一个办法就是兴建体育设施和继续发扬希腊的运动传统。他们组织比赛,并让镇上的参赛者参加泛希腊运动会。在公元2世纪,罗马帝国的公民身份的权利扩展到了每一位在罗马帝国境内的人。自那以后,很多希腊境外的人来参赛,因此,奥林匹亚运动会更加的国际化。当希腊政府在1896年重新恢复奥运会时,其国际化被巴仁·德·顾拜旦保留了下来。如今,奥运会吸引了世界上各个国家的参赛者。

    Practice 4  The Olympic Games are an international multi-sport event subdivided into summer and winter games. They are each held every four years. Until 1992, they were both held in the same year. Since then, they have been separated two years apart.  There are more than 20 Summer Olympics sports, including swimming, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, boxing, weight-lifting, yachting, cycling and equestrian events. Skiing, ice-skating and ice hockey are among the 7 Winter Game sports. A competitor must be the citizen of the country he or she represents. No more than three entries from any country are permitted in each event (4 in the winter games). Only one team per country is allowed in a team sport.  There are many myths surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. The most popular legend describes that Heracles was the creator of the Olympic Games and built the Olympic stadium and surrounding buildings as an honor to his father, Zeus after completing his 12 labors. According to that legend, he walked in a straight line for 400 strides and called this distance a “stadium” that later also became a distance calculation unit. This is also why a modem stadium is 400 meters in circumference length (1 stadium = 400 meters).  From then on, the Olympic Games were quickly becoming more and more important throughout ancient Greece, reaching their zenith in the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The Olympics were of fundamental religious importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honoring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia famous for his legendary chariot race, in whose honor the games were held. The number of events increased to 20, and the celebration was spread over several days. Winners of the events were greatly admired and were immortalized in poems and statues. The Games were held every four years, and the period between two celebrations became known as an “Olympiad’’. The Greeks used Olympiads as one of their methods to count years. The most famous Olympic athlete lived in these times: the 6th century BC wrestler, Milo Croton, is the only athlete in history to win a victory in six Olympics.  The Games gradually declined in importance after the Romans gained power in Greece. After Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the religion of the Empire and banned pagan rites, the Olympic Games were outlawed as a pagan festival in 393 AD.  In 1894, a French noble man, Pierrde, called a meeting in Paris that led to the first modern Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896. Thirteen nations sent a total of 285 men, and the Games were revived. Since then the Olympics have been held in different cities of the world once every four years, with the exception of war years 1916, 1940 and 1944. Women first competed in 1912. In 1924 the Winter Olympics were instituted at Chamonix, France.

    正确答案: 参考译文
    奥运会是具有多竞技项目的国际性体育赛事,分为夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会,每隔四年举行一次。在1992年之前,夏季和冬季奥运会是同年召开的,自1992年以后,则改为相隔两年召开。
    夏季奥运会有20多个体育比赛项目,包括游泳、篮球、足球、体操、拳击、举重、帆船、自行车、马术等。滑雪、滑冰和冰球是冬季奥运会7个项目中的3项。比赛者必须是他或她所代表的国家的公民。一个国家参加任何一项比赛的选手不能超过3名(冬奥会不超过4名),并且只能派一个代表队参加团体体育比赛项目。
    围绕着古代奥运会的起源有着许多神话传说,在最流行的传说中,赫拉克勒斯是奥运会的缔造者,为了表示对希腊主神、他的父亲宙斯的崇敬,在完成12项英雄业绩后,他建了奥林匹克体育场及其周围的建筑。根据传说,赫拉克勒斯大步直行400步,然后把这一行走的距离称作“斯塔德”,后来它便成了距离的计算单位,这也是为什么现代体育场周长为400米(1斯塔德=400米)。
    从那时起,在整个古希腊,奥运会很快变得越来越重要,在公元前五、六世纪达到了鼎盛时期。奥运会有着非常重要的宗教意义,竞赛前后都要敬献祭品,举办仪式,敬奉希腊主神宙斯(他的巨大的塑像矗立在奥林匹亚)和珀罗普斯这位神圣的英雄以及奥林匹亚神话般的国王,这位国王是以传奇般的双轮马车赛而闻名于世,奥林匹克运动会就是为纪念他而举办的。奥运会比赛项目增加到20项,庆贺仪式要延续数日。人们高度赞誉比赛获胜者,并为他们塑像吟诗,使之名垂千古。奥运会每四年举办一次,两次奥运会之间的时间被称作奥林匹尔德,这是希腊人以前用作计算年代的方法之一。那个时代最著名的奥林匹克运动员是公元前六世纪摔跤运动员米勒科偌顿,他是历史上唯一一位在6届奥运会上赢得比赛的选手。
    罗马人在统治希腊以后,奥运会的重要性便逐渐下降,到皇帝狄奥多西一世立基督教为国教并取缔异教仪式后,奥运会便在公元393年被视为并教徒的节日而遭禁止。
    1894年,一位名叫皮尔狄的法国贵族在巴黎召集了一次会议,这次会议使得第一届现代奥运会于1896年在雅典举行。13个国家派出285人参加了比赛,因此奥运会得以复苏。此后,除了1916年、1940年以及1944年等战争年代以外,奥运会在世界的不同城市每四年举行一次。妇女第一次参加比赛是在1912年。冬季奥运会1924年在法国的尚莫尼克斯举行。
