Question

BRISBANE—Australian Olympic chief John Coates has said Greek athlete Katerina Thanou should not be awarded the Sydney Olympics 100 metres gold medal handed back by Marion Jones.

Jones, who this week admitted to steroid（類固醇）use in the build up to the Sydney Games, has returned the three gold medals and two bronzes she won in 2000.

But Thanou, the silver medalist in Sydney, was herself banned for two years after she failed to appear for a drug test at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

“I’d like to think that Katerina Thanou would not be awarded the gold medal,” Coates told the Australian Associated Press on Tuesday, “but there may be some legal difficulties for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to overcome in order to reach that conclusion.”

Jamaica’s Tayna Lawrence won the 100m bronze medal in Sydney behind Jones and Thanou.

Coates also said he expected the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to hand back the medals won by the women's 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams.

Two of Jones’s team mates in the 4x100m team which finished third in Sydney, Torri Edwards and Chryste Gaines, have also served doping（興奮劑）bans.

The U.S. women’s 4x100m relay team won the gold medal ahead of Jamaica and Russia.

“On the relays, it’s my expectation that the United States Olympic Committee will be required to also hand back the medals won by the other ladies who competed with Jones in the two relays,” Coates said.

“That is normal practice.”

The United States Olympic Committee (USCO) has publicly apologized to the organizers and competitors of the 2000 Sydney Games and the Australian public for Jones’s actions.

As part of the USOC’s apology, president Peter Ueberroth promised that the U.S. would send a clean team to next year’s Beijing Olympics.

1. 本文為一片體育新聞報(bào)道。新聞的標(biāo)題一般出自于文章的首段或首句，后面的敘述都是圍繞首段或首句的內(nèi)容展開(kāi)論述的。根據(jù)首段內(nèi)容可知，本文應(yīng)是圍繞“塔努不應(yīng)得到悉尼奧運(yùn)會(huì)百米金牌”這一話題展開(kāi)論述的。

2. 本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文中第三內(nèi)容可知塔努在悉尼奧運(yùn)會(huì)尚沒(méi)有參加藥檢，故不應(yīng)該得到瓊斯退還的金牌。

3. 本題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知瓊斯在悉尼奧運(yùn)會(huì)上得了3金2銅，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第四段可知B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，即美國(guó)奧委會(huì)還沒(méi)有退還悉尼奧運(yùn)會(huì)上獲得的接力賽金牌；根據(jù)第一、三段可知C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；文中倒數(shù)第四段最后一句表明D項(xiàng)敘述正確。

4. 本題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文中第六、八段可知正確答案為C項(xiàng)。

5. 本題為推理判斷題。A項(xiàng)為錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)；B、C兩項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有提到；根據(jù)文中最后一段可知D項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
