the olympic games,______in 776B.C,did not include women players until 1912为什么选first played不是to be played
the olympic games,______in 776B.C,did not include women players until 1912为什么选first played不是to be played
考查的内容是过去分词作定语、动词不定式作定语的用法：1、过去分词做定语与其修饰词之间是动宾关系,且过去分词表示的动作已经完成,first played = which was first played in 776 B.C.所以应该填first played2、to be played 是动词不定式作定语,表示将要发生的动作,不符合题意.《Unit 3 Life in the future》
动词不定式的被动语态作定语时,往往有动作还未发生的意思.比如将要举行to be played
played 表示的是将来，first
played 表示的是已经过去的
通过后面的直到1912年都没有出现女子运动员，说明公元前776年是第一次举行的奥林匹克运动会。否则不合题意。
第一点：olympic games 可用 play 或 be played ，如果是hold 的话，就只能用be hold，而不能用主动形式。第二点：to be played 是将来被动式，句中已经说是776BC，已经是公元前776，所以应该是选first played
to be played 表示即将被举行的，而776B.C.是已经过去的时间了，所以要用过去分词played表示过去和完成。
to be played表将来
这是分词作定语。in 776BC是过去的时间，而且与被修饰词之间是被动关系。所以用过去分词作定语。而to be played 则表示将来被动。
动词不定式有一种将来意味
to be played 是将来时。
first playde 按题意来讲最合适，是“第一次举办是在公元776年”的意思，而to be played 这里是将来时的被动语态，应选第一个。几道英语题求助,有答案需要解释原因(B)134. Mr Green returned to his office two hours earlier than______.A．excepting

The Olympic Games
began over 2,700 years ago in Olympia, in southwest Greece. The Games were part of a religious festival. The Greek Olympics, thought to have begun in 776 BC, inspired the modern Olympic Games (begun in 1896) The Games were held in honour of , king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis. People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part.
The statue of Zeus
Visitors to Olympia stared in wonder as they entered the great
of . Inside was a huge statue of the king of the gods, sitting on a throne.
People called it one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The statue was covered in gold and ivory, and was six times bigger than a man. It was built about 435 BC, and no one who made the trip to Olympia missed seeing it.
You can read what the writer Pausanias wrote about it in the Writings section.
What was the Sacred Truce?
of Greece were often at war. This made travel between them dangerous. So messengers sent out from Elis announced a 'sacred truce' (peace) lasting one month before the Games began. This meant people could travel to Olympia in safety. The
were more important than wars because they were a religious festival.
The messengers went all over the Greek world, as the map shows.
Events at the Games
At the first one-day , the only event was a short sprint from one end of the stadium to the other. Gradually more events were added to make four days of competitions. They included wrestling, boxing, long jump, throwing the
and , and chariot racing. In the pentathlon, there were five events: running, wrestling, javelin, discus and long jump. One of the toughest events was the race for , men wearing armour and carrying .
Winners were given a wreath of leaves, and a hero's welcome back home. Winners might marry rich women, enjoy free meals, invitations to parties, and the best seats in the theatre.
The running track was much wider than a modern one. Twenty people could run at once.
Spectators
About 50,000 people could sit in the stadium. Away from the arena, most spectators had to find somewhere to pitch their tents or sleep rough, but important visitors and athletes had hotel rooms.
It was hot and overcrowded, and the water supply was poor, at first not even a proper drinking fountain. This didn't stop people coming though!
The Games ended with a feast. Lots of oxen were roasted in a giant barbecue. Traders came to do business, entertainers such as jugglers and acrobats performed, and
made speeches to the crowds.
The nastiest event?
Probably the
or all-in wrestling was the nastiest event.
There were hardly any rules. Biting and poking people's eyes were officially banned, but some competitors did both!
While it does not seem very sporting to us, all-in wrestling was very popular.
Boxing was tough too. The fighters wore leather gloves and a boxer was allowed to go on hitting his opponent even after he'd knocked him to the ground!
However, cheating was punished. Anyone caught cheating, trying to bribe an athlete for instance, had to pay for a bronze statue of , as a punishment.
Women at Olympia
Only men, boys and unmarried girls were allowed to attend the . Married women were not allowed into the Olympic Games. Any women caught sneaking in were punished!
Women could own horses in the chariot race though.
Unmarried women had their own festival at Olympia every four years. This was the Heraia, held in honour of Hera, wife of . Women could compete in running races, though only unmarried girls took part. Winners were awarded crowns of sacred olive branches, the same as men. As a rule Greek women did not go in for sport, unless they were .
The famous wrestler Milo was said to train by carrying a calf every day. As the calf grew heavier, his muscles got stronger.
Horse races involved lots of falling-off, because Greek riders had no stirrups. It was easier to drive a chariot.
At the first recorded Games in 776 BC, a man named Coroebus won the stadion or foot race.
The Olympic Games included competitions for trumpeters.
The Pankration allowed any moves, even strangling your opponent!
All the competitors at the Olympic Games were naked, except for perhaps a coating of oil.
Big sunhats were banned, because they blocked other spectators' view.
Quote from someone who saw the fight: "Once a wrestler broke his opponent's fingers at the beginning of the fight. He won."
One mother was so keen to see her son compete that she broke the no-women rule, and got in disguised as a man!
The running track was 183 m (200 yards) long. The Greeks called this measurement a stade - from which we get the word "stadium".
An athlete called Exinetos won the short sprint at two Olympics in a row. Back at home in Sicily he was met by 300 chariots each pulled by a pair of white horses.
