Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 24 to 28.
The word Olympic comes from the name of the town Olympia in Greece, where the ancient
Olympic games were always held. The first recorded Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C.; the
Games took place every fourth year after that date until they were abolished by a Roman emperor in
A.D. 394.
It was not until 1875, when archaeologists discovered the ruins of the Olympic Stadium in Greece,
that interest in the Games was renewed. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French scholar and educator,
Anh 12_Giữa HKII (21-22)_Mã đề thi: 164 Trang 3/4
proposed that the Games should be revived as an international competition to encourage both sport and
world peace.
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Like their classical predecessors,
the athletes were men only; women were admitted in to Games in 1900. Since that time, the Games
have been held at four-year intervals as in ancient Greece. However, since de Coubertin’s dreams of
world peace have not been realized, the two World Wars prevented those of 1916, 1940, and 1944
from being held.
The Olympic Games have been confined to amateur athletes despite a few recent exceptions. There
are pressures on the Olympic authorities to admit other professionals to the Games. Such a step would
damage the entire concept of the Olympics. The following words appear on the scoreboard at every
Olympic opening: “The most important thing is not to win but to take part.” In contrast, the aim of
every professional is to win.
Question 24: The passage mainly discusses _______.
A. the history of Olympic Games
B. the origin of the ancient Olympic Games
C. the father of modern Olympic Games
D. the rules of modern Olympic Games
Question 25: The world “held” in the first paragraph could be best replaced by _______.
A. hugged B. taken C. organized D. made
Question 26: The word “those”in paragraph 3 refers to “_______”.
A. Olympic Games B. intervals C. World Wars D. dreams
Question 27: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The word Olympic comes from the name of the town Olympia in Greece.
B. The first recorded Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C.
C. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.
D. Some of the modern Olympic Games were not held because of epidemics.
Question 28: According to the passage, some of the modern Olympic Games were not held because of
_______.
A. natural disasters B. wars C. epidemics D. financial problems
