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.
The first games for the disabled were held______after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.
选项
A、9 years
B、10 years
C、21 years
D、40 years
答案
A
解析
本题问在鲁德威格·格特曼爵士到达英国多少年之后第一次残疾人运动会召开。根据文章第一段中相关的内容,自1948年鲁德威格·格特曼爵士在英格兰的斯特克曼德威尔组织每年一度的残疾人运动会起,情况便开始起了变化。鲁德威格·格特曼爵士于1939年被纳粹德国驱逐到英格兰,受英国政府之命在伦敦附近的斯特克曼德威尔医院筹建外伤康复中心。他的外伤治疗设想包括残疾人的运动。我们可以算出本题的正确答案应是A“1948—1939=9年”。
