The Olympic Games originated in 776 B.C.in Olympia, a small town in Greece.Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope.Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the god Zeus.The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges.There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors.They were banned in 394 A.D.by Emperor Theodosius, after they became profeional circuses and carnivals. The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics.Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete. The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch.In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jee Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens for the feat of having won four gold medals.In the 1972 Munich Games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists.The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations.In 1980, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games.The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviet. 47.According to the paage, the first Olympic Games were held as _.48.The reward to winners in the first Olympic Games was _. 49.The Roman Emperor changed the form of Olympic Games from sports events to _. 50.From the paage, we can infer that Hitlers refusal to congratulate Jee Owens was an indication of _. 51.The purpose of those athletes whose countries boycotted the 1980 Games was to _. Section B Directions: There are two paages in this section.Each paage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Paage One If women are mercilely exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the drees they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability.They are only interested in outward appearance (外表) and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dre on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy (反复无常) and instability?
