2024年浙江成人高考高起点《英语》备考习题和答案（15）

Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:

Although we do not know the exact origin of the earliest Olympic games,we do know that the ancient Greeks had a festival in which athletes(运动员)competed in sports.On the opening day of the festival,perhaps 30,000 visitors crowded the streets.There were no sports on this day and the athletes took a sacred oath(神圣的誓言).They promised to play fair in the sports,a promise that is part of the oath Olympic athletes take today.

On the second morning of the festival,young athletes ran out onto the field.The first event will be a foot race 607 feet in length.In the evening,after the sports,the visitors to Olympia would enjoy food,songs and speeches.They also did some business.At Olympia,keen minds(学者)from all over Greece exchanged ideas.Philosophers argued before the public.Poets recited their poems.

This celebration was held every four years and was open to all men and boys who spoke Greek as their native language.The competition itself consisted of a single race and it was over in one day.

The Olympic games came into being in 776 BC(before the Christ)and were most popular around the fifth century BC.At that time,the winner of a game received neither gold nor silver but a simple crown of olive leaves(橄榄叶)--the highest honor a Greek could win.His family and his city were prouder of his victory than of winning a war.His name and achievement were carved on stone.

The first of the modern Olympics took place in the same country as the original festivals:two hundred eighty-five athletes from thirteen countries competed in Athens in 1890.Today over ten thousand athletes from over one hundred seventy countries and regions compete---every four years in a different city of the world.
