Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	从第一部分可知Marjorie Gestring参加了1936年和1948年这两届奥运会，这中间的两届因战争取消。
(2)	从Marjorie Gestring的介绍中…her comeback attempt for the 1948 Summer Olympics failed．这句可知她参加了1948年的奥运会，Bob Mathias 17岁时成为了奥运史上最年轻的男子田径项目冠军，他在仅训练四个月后获得了奥运十项全能运动的冠军，他在1952年退役，分别在1948年和1952年获得了两块奥运金牌，由此可知他第一块奥运金牌是在1948年奥运会上获得，故C正确。
(3)	伏明霞1978年出生，九岁时去北京训练，此时为1987年，距1992年五年，故选C。
(4)	将四位运动员作一比较，可知获奥运金牌数最多的是Ian Thorpe——五块，故选A。
