40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Gutt-mann, 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 Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport 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 have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 Wheelchair Olympic Games, 1 064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwill-ingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in______.
选项
A、Los Angeles
B、Rome
C、London
D、New York
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问除了在斯特克曼德威尔外,残疾人运动会还在什么地方举办过。根据文章第二段相关的内容,1960年,第一届残疾人奥林匹克运动会在罗马城举行,用的是通常的奥林匹克运动会的同一场地。现在,残疾人奥运会每4年举办一次,如有可能,便使用通常的奥林匹克运动会的同一场地,但它们是分别进行组织的。在其他年份,残疾人奥运会仍在斯特克曼德威尔举行。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“曾在罗马举办过”。
