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.
In Para. 3, the word "athletes" means______.
选项
A、people who compete in the games
B、people who organize the games
C、people who watch the games
D、people who support the games
答案
A
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问第三段中的词athletes的含义是什么。如果知道此词是指运动员,则可以直接选出本题的正确答案A“参加比赛的人”。如果不知道,我们也可以通过上下文推断出来。文章指出,不过,有一点令运动会的举办者和参加者失望的是:国际奥委会一直不愿意将残疾人比赛项目纳入健全人奥林匹克运动会。也许还需要几年时间才能说服那些没有致残的幸运儿们,不应该将他们的残疾同胞排除在外。
