The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called Olympiads dating from 776 BC.

　　1. Approximately how many years ago did these games originate

　　A) 776 years B) 2, 277 years

　　C) 1, 205 years D) 2, 766 years

　　A) Winners placed olive wreaths on their own heads.

　　B) The games were held in Greece every four years.

　　C) Battles were interrupted to participate in the games.

　　D) Poems glorified the winners in song.

　　第一题问的是奥林匹克运动会的起源, 是个时间问题。在文中迅速查找, 发现一个日期：776 B.C.与选择项一一对比根据题目的要求, 做一个简单推算。得出答案D. 第二题略为复杂, 询问四个选择项中的各细节哪一个与原文不符。A中的主要内容与Winners有关, 迅速在文中查找与winners有关的句子, 文中说到：winners were greatly honored by having 01ive Wreaths placed on their heads..., 也就是说, 他人为获胜者戴上橄榄枝叶圈, 并不是获胜者自己为自己戴上, 由此可以断定A is not true.

　　例6：1991年6月的四级试题,第31题,) According to the passage the Jarvik-7 artificial heart proved to be_____
