In ancient Greece, athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations The Olympic athletic festival, held every four years in honour of Zeus, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C
The Games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator Slaves, women
and dishonoured people were not allowed to compete Records show that the evening of the third day
was devoted to sacrificial offerings to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of the full moon, was set aside as a holy day On the sixth and last day all the victors were crowned with holy garlands of wild olive from a sacred wood So great was the honour that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately had no means of telling
After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were abolished in A D 394
because of their pagan origin It was a great many years before there was another such international athletic
gathering The Greek institution was brought back into existence in 1896 and the first small meeting took place in Athens After the 1908 London Olympics, success was re-established and nations sent their best representatives
Today, the Games are held in different countries in turn The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes' expenses Athletic contests are still the main feature, but now many more sports are represented, women compete, the ancient pentathlon, for example, has been modified into a more comprehensive test, and the marathonraces, initiated in 1896, are now a celebrated event
The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the
sun's rays It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium The torch symbolizes the continuation
of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe,
but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests
By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still
extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component
of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable
to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron

A The advantages of using wood in the colonies

B They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard
C They had little or no economic value
D They covered the entire continent
Question 46: The word "abundant" in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _-.
A redundant B sufficient C insufficient D plentiful
Question 47: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern
cities
A rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce
B was much higher than it was in Britain
C was slightly higher than in previous years
D decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood
Question 48:What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the
passage?
A They were more expensive than American houses
B They were generally built with imported materials
C They were typically smaller than homes in North America
D They were usually built from materials other than wood
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds?
Question 50: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?
A It led to advances in technology
B It was less expensive than wood smelting
C It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting
D It stimulated the demand for wood
