How were athletes of ancient Olympic Games rewarded by the event？
A．Some of them were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves.
B．Most of them, in fact, were richly rewarded with prize money by their countries.
C．The winner of foot race was honored by having holy olive leaves instead of prize money.
D．The winner of foot race was the most honorable one, for his name would be remembered for at least a year.
参考答案
正确答案：D
解析：文章第三段提到“On the last day of the Games，all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave hisname to the year of his victory．”意为“比赛的最后一天，所有获胜的运动员都将头戴神圣的橄榄叶花环作为荣誉的象征，获得最高荣誉的是在赛跑中获胜的运动员，大会将以他的名字命名这一年。”A项说，一些运动员获得圣洁的橄榄叶花环，未指明是比赛中的获胜者。B项说，一些运动员将得到本国的金钱作为奖励与题意不符。C项和D项都是叙述在赛跑中获胜的运动员的奖励问题，根据句义，D项是正确的说法。
