问题 The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Every four years，a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport．As many as 6，1300 people take part in over 20 sports．For the winners,there are gold medals and slory．But there is honor，too，for all who compete，win or lose.That is in spirit of the Olympics--to take part is what matters．
The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action．The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track．The custom is for the Greek team to march in first．For it was in Greece that the Olympics began．The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last．
The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors．The judges and officials also take an oath．After the sportsmen march out of the stadium，the host country puts on a wonderful display．
The competitions begin the next day．There are usually more than twenty sports in the.Games．The rule is that there must be at least fifteen．The main events aye in track and field，but it is a few days before these sports start．Each day the.competitors take part in a different sport-riding，shooting，swimming，and cross—country running．Points aye gained for each,event．Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams．
More and more women are taking part in the games．They first competed in 1900，in tennis and golf，which are no longer held in the Olympics．Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912．But it was not until 1 928 that there were any track and field events for women．Now．they compete in
all but half a dozen of the sports．In horse riding，shooting，and boat racing，they may compete in the same events as the men．
Which of the following is a long-established practice in the opening ceremony?
选项 A、Runners enter the stadium with torches．
B、Each team puts on a wonderful display．
C、The Greek team marches in first．
D、Sportsmen and sportswomen were magnificent clothes．
答案C
解析 由文章第二段第三句话“The custom is for the Greek team to march in first．”可知，一个历史悠久的习俗是在奥运会开幕式上希腊队走在最前面。
