About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stroke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sports for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year,1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings things developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stroke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.
Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stroke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1,604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stroke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can´ t enjoy sports. One small source of dis-appointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been theunwilling-ness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able bodies. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough
not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
The first games for the disabled were held__________after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

A.50 years
B.21 years
C.9 years
D.4 years

参考译文
50年前,人们还未听说过残疾人做运动这一概念。然而,当Ludwig Guttmann于l984年在英国曼德维尔举行年度残疾人运动会之时,这个局面得到了好转。Ludwig Guttmann——1939年从纳粹德国流放到英国,曾被英国政府任命在伦敦附近的Stroke Mandeville医院设立伤员救助中心。他救助伤员的概念还包含了残疾人运动。
在第一次残疾人运动会中,只有两队伤残士兵参加。次年,1949年,有5个队参加。从此以后,残疾人运动会就开始迅速发展起来了,现在,每年都会有别的国家的队员来到Stroke Mandeville。1960年在罗马举行了首届残奥会。现在,每隔四年就举行一次残奥会,如有可能,它还会与奥运会在同一地点举行,即使两者是分开举行与组织的。其余每年的残疾人运动会均在Stroke Mandeville举行。在1984年的轮椅奥运会上,来自40多个国家的1,604名轮椅选手参加了。不幸的是,这些都是在StrokeMandeville举行的,而不是在当年奥运会的举办城市——洛杉矶和其他奥运城市举办的。
残奥会在增进国际友谊与国际共识上扮演着重要角色,同时也证明着:残疾并不说明不能享受运动带来的乐趣。然而,有一件令残奥会组织者们和运动员们稍为失望的是:国际奥委会不愿意将残疾人运动会并列到常规奥运会中去。也许还需要些许时间,才能让那些万幸没有致残的人们认识到:那些残疾选手们不应被排除在外。
答案及解析
这道题的答案在第一段的第二、三句话。考生不要被文中多个年代所迷惑,只要直接在第二段找到第一次残疾人运动会的年代与Sir Ludwig Guttmann到英国的年代就可以了。
