• 第2页：答案

　　本文介绍了传承千年的奥林匹克运动的起源与发展。作为一项古老的运动，奥林匹克运动起先只是为了纪念宙斯，并且只有上等的男性才能参赛。运动发展到今天，提出了“更快、更高、更远”的口号，人人平等的新竞赛为人们认识世界、了解世界打开了新窗口。
　　1．C细节题。文章第一段第二旬提到：the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished，即以往的比赛规则对外国选手是不利的(against)，C项put foreign participants in a disadvantageous position(将外国选手置于一个无优势的地位)与原文属同义转换，故选c。
　　2．A推断题。文章第一段第六句指出：奥林匹克运动在当时是不允许奴隶、妇女以及那些玷污名誉的人参加的。由此可推断只有上等社会的男性(male)。有资格参加比赛，故选A。
　　3．A细节题。文章首段最后一句提到“the exact sequence of events uncertain”，即当时比赛项目的准确顺序(sequence)是不确定的，言外之意就是说当时还没有制定明确的比赛顺序，故选A。
　　4．B细节题。第二段第四句指出：当时的得奖结果与现在的标准相比较有没有差距对我们来说是不得而知的(have no means of telling)，经过数千年的历史，我们很难再见当时的比赛记录(record)，故选B。
　　5．B细节题。原文第三段最后一句提到主办国需要提供大量设备，包括大型运动场、游泳池、运动员的膳宿，参赛国则需向本国运动员支付花销费用，故运动员的费用来源于(out of)参赛国，故选B。
