Coubertin wanted to have a competition which was not just about victory, but which would increase the friendship between nations. He wanted athletes to do their best, remembering the motto of the ancient Olympics, 4tFasier-higher -Stronger".The first modem Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896, Two hundred and forty-five competitors came to the games, representing 14 countries and competing in only seven sports. These first modern Games were rather informal. One French runner wore gloves during his race, because he was running in front of royalty(皇室成员)!Some of the athletes entered the competition personally, because they were on holiday in Greece at the time and felt like joining in. One If these holiday makers even got two gold medals for playing tennis.The USA won the most gold medals in 1896, but the real hero of the Games was a Greek shepherd called Spiridon Louis. On the fifth and final day of the Games was the most important event, the marathon. Although the Americans had won all the other running events,Spiridon was determined to win in front of his fellow Greeks. He tried his best to get in front of all the other runners, and when he entered the Olympic playground, the 70,000 Greeks shouted loudly and cheered excitedly. Although Spiridon was very sick and tired he ran over the finish line. The whole of Greece was so proud of Spiridon that a tailor offered to give him all the clothing he needed, a restaurant owner offered to feed him, and a barber offered to cut his hair for as long as the barber lived!Since 1896, the Olympic Games have been held every four years with only three Games missed because of the two World Wars. The year 2000saw the 2711 Games, held in Sydney in Australia. Today, the Games are a huge, formal event. Nearly 10,000 athletes compete in the Summer Games, and nearly 2,000 more meet in the Winter Games. Now, thanks to television, the Olympic Games are watched by people all over the world. The American television network NBC paid $785 million for the US television rights to the Sydney games.阅读短文后,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项上,选出最佳选项46.

Many people love to eat shark meat. Some people wear belts made of shark skin. Many sharks get caught in fishing nets.What does this mean for sharks? Some kinds of sharks may die out in 10 years. That would be very bad. After all , these fish have been swimming around for 400 million years, that means sharks were around 100 million years before the dinosaurs.Sharks can help people in many ways. We can learn lessons from them.A shark's body can fight off sickness better that a person's body. So sharks may thach us about fighting sickness in people.Sharks keep other kinds of sea life at right level (水平面)by hunting them. If sharks were to die out, the food chain (链)would be in trouble.Many people are working to cut down on shark hunting. The U.S. and some other countries have put limits on shark catches. And scientists have put some kinds of sharks on a list of animals in danger.As one shark scientist says, “Sharks are here for a reason, not to attack men, women, and children.”阅读短文后,填写表格。
