Olympics: how London put its permanent mark on the Games more
than a century ago
The running shorts were long, the swimming pool went green, and some of the winning athletes were
helped along both by friends and alcohol, yet London's first Olympics, held in 1908, set the template for
the modern international event. It was a Games hailed as a moment of hope for humanity – a hope soon to
be let down by the Great War – although it only came to England at the last minute because of a volcano in
Italy.
The IV Olympiad was to ___1___ been staged in Rome, but the eruption of Vesuvius in 1906 destroyed
large parts of Naples and the funds were ___2__to rebuild the city. Luckily a young British sportsman and
aristocrat, visiting Italy for a fencing competition, stepped forward and offered the services of his own
country.
That man was William Grenfell, Lord Desborough, and next month an exhibition at his former home,
Taplow Court, near Maidenhead, ___3___reveal how he and his freshly minted British Olympic Association
managed to find a site, build a stadium and organise the finance to host teams from 22 visiting nations
without much government help.
Desborough, who had become an MP at 25, was a former "double blue" in rowing and running at Oxford.
What is more, he had swum the rapids at Niagara twice and climbed the Matterhorn three times, to say
___4___of representing his country at fencing, or of chairing the Lawn Tennis Association and the MCC. He
was the original all-rounder.
___5__there was no Olympic torch at the 1908 Games, as the tradition did not start until 1928, on 10 July
this summer the 2012 torch will pass by Taplow Court en route to the London Games in tribute to his
sporting legacy.
Desborough's pioneering games, staged at the White City in west London, is often remembered for such
___6___ events as "motor boating" (which saw stately competition speeds of up to 19mph – or would
have done, if anything had been visible from the shore in Southampton), or the tug-of-war competition
(also a doubtful success, with the winning team of Liverpool policemen ___7__ by opponents for wearing
regulation steel-tipped boots).
And ___8__many of the established rules of international sport were laid down at the 1908 Games,
including the eccentric length of the standard marathon course (specially ___9__to finish by the royal box).
It was also the first Olympics to see national teams compete against each other for points and medals.
Great Britain and Ireland led the awards tables to the end, winning a total of 56 golds, but this sadly did not
go on to ___10__an Olympic convention.
3 / 20
The Games were held over six months, from April to October, with the main stadium events taking place
between 13 and 25 July in a structure put up by the master builder George Wimpey for £60,000 of
government money, ___11__with running and cycling tracks, a wrestling and gymnastics platform and a
100ft by 15ft "great bath". The stadium could hold 68,000 seated spectators, with standing room for
23,000 more.
___12___over the weather and the price of tickets were shared with the 2012 Games. The 1908 Olympics
eventually went down as the wettest in history, prompting the Observer to run a poem with these closing
lines:
But you, old sky, shall never ___13___,
Nor lose your boasted fame;
the beef of England's sons may alter,
Her climate is the same.
Whoever else is out of training,
One backs you as a cert,
For coming through the ruck
and raining
With one tremendous spurt!
The Taplow exhibition will show the impact of Desborough's family on the 1908 Games. His wife, Ettie, was
a renowned socialite, but also a fan of sport and cycling. Her two eldest sons, Julian and Billy, were keen
sportsmen at Eton and at Oxford and attended the Games throughout. Later, Julian ___14___to be
celebrated for his stirring war poem, Into Battle, published in 1915.
In 1910 Desborough said, with ___15___optimism: "In the Games in London were assembled some 2,000
young men… representative of the generation into whose hands the destinies of most of the nations of the
world are passing at this moment… and we hope that their meeting… may have a beneficial effect
hereafter on the cause of international peace." Five years later the Grenfell brothers died on active duty
within eight weeks of each other. A memorial sculpture was ___16____from the artist Sir Bertram
Mackennal and still stands in Taplow's grounds.
For the curator of the show, Angela Bolger, there is a nice connection between Desborough's thwarted
hopes for the Games and the current owners of his home, the SGI-UK, the Buddhist group which
___17___Taplow Court as a research centre for peace studies. "He was so concerned with the harnessing
of hope and of goodwill between nations," said Bolger this weekend.
Today international conferences are staged at Taplow Court, but during the Desboroughs' heyday it was a
bolthole for an artistic aristocratic set known as The Souls. The house was visited by royalty, too, by writers
such as HG Wells, and the dancer Isadora Duncan, who gave a performance on the lawn in Olympic year.
4 / 20
While there were ___18___ under 2,000 male entrants in the games, 37 women also took part, competing
in archery, tennis, ice skating and yachting. Three weeks before the Games opened, a "monster meeting"
demanding votes for women took place in Hyde Park and the pressure applied by the suffragettes may
have resulted in Lord Desborough becoming a vocal ___19 ___for more "ladies' events" in future Olympics.
But the most controversial element of the 1908 games was the aggrieved attitude of the American team.
At the opening ceremony the American and Swedish flags were not flown and the Swedes stormed out of
the stadium, while the Americans launched an official protest and deliberately failed to dip their flag to the
royal box. American athletes also ___20__ complaints about the length of shorts and the presence of
coaches on the track. They also understandably questioned the decision to give a gold medal to test
cricketer Johnny Douglas in the middleweight boxing division. A final verdict on a split decision was called
by the ___21___, Douglas's own father.
Olympic history was made in the 400m when the Americans refused to take part in a re-run and Wyndham
Halswelle had to take to the track alone. He ___22__ the only British athlete to have the full collection of
gold, silver and bronze medals. He was killed in 1915 by a sniper at Neuve Chapelle.
The ___23___ finale of the games was the marathon and this, too, made Olympic history. The favourite,
Canadian Tom Longboat, collapsed at 19 miles after sipping champagne along the course, which started
near Taplow at Windsor Castle. An Italian confectioner called Dorando Pietri then led the race all the way
into the stadium, where he also succumbed to heat exhaustion, hastened perhaps by the brandy he used
to refresh himself. He collapsed five times on the track and was helped across the line by supporters.
___24___ another official complaint, Pietri was disqualified and an American runner, Johnny Hayes, was
given the gold.
The Observer had looked forward to the marathon with the robust ___25____ of the times. "If the weather
is fine, the finish of this Homeric struggle ought to be a magnificent scene. Whether the United Kingdom
wins it or not, enough has been done to show that the complaints about the physical decadence of the
Mother Country are for the most part clotted nonsense."

Oliver Goldsmith The Deserted Village (1770)
Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering blooms delayed;
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please:
How often have I loitered o'er thy green,
Where humble happiness endeared each scene;
How often have I paused on every charm,
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm,
The never-failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that topped the neighbouring hill;
The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers made.

closed and locked. Preceding me with the light, he led me through the place I had already
seen from without, into a small sitting-room behind, in which was another door opening into
a kind of closet, where I saw a little bed that a fairy might have slept in: it looked so very small

Lexis (7 points)
In this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (c. 1595) Juliet is waiting for Romeo to join her at
night and consummate their marriage:
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,
Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner
As Phaeton would whip you to the west,
And bring in cloudy night immediately.
Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,
That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo
Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen.
Lovers can see to do their amorous rites
By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,
It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,
Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,
And learn me how to lose a winning match,
Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:
Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks,
With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold,
Think true love acted simple modesty.
Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night;
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.
14) "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds/Towards Phoebus' lodging". What in simple everyday modern
English does this mean? (one sentence) (1 point)
15) Give one example of classical references. (1 points)
16) Juliet could be said to be using hyperbole. Give an example of a hyperbolic image and explain its
meaning in everyday modern English (do not use lines 1-2).(1 points)
Juliet's words are excited; they tumble out. However her ideas and expressions are held together through
lexical associations and lexical links:
Come, civil night,
Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,
And learn me how to lose a winning match,
Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:
17) In Shakespeare's day "civil" in this context (see civil night) meant "solemn". Which word is closest in
meaning to "solemn" in these four lines? (1 point)
18) Why is the "matron" described as "sober-suited"? (1 point)
19) Juliet asks this "matron" to teach her how to lose a "winning match". Why would losing mean winning
here? (2 points)

Olympics: how London put its permanent mark on the Games more
than a century ago
The running shorts were long, the swimming pool went green, and some of the winning athletes were
helped along both by friends and alcohol, yet London's first Olympics, held in 1908, set the template for
the modern international event. It was a Games hailed as a moment of hope for humanity a hope soon to
be let down by the Great War although it only came to England at the last minute because of a volcano in
Italy.
The IV Olympiad was to ___1___ been staged in Rome, but the eruption of Vesuvius in 1906 destroyed
large parts of Naples and the funds were ___2__to rebuild the city. Luckily a young British sportsman and
aristocrat, visiting Italy for a fencing competition, stepped forward and offered the services of his own
country.
That man was William Grenfell, Lord Desborough, and next month an exhibition at his former home,
Taplow Court, near Maidenhead, ___3___reveal how he and his freshly minted British Olympic Association
managed to find a site, build a stadium and organise the finance to host teams from 22 visiting nations
without much government help.
Desborough, who had become an MP at 25, was a former "double blue" in rowing and running at Oxford.
What is more, he had swum the rapids at Niagara twice and climbed the Matterhorn three times, to say
___4___of representing his country at fencing, or of chairing the Lawn Tennis Association and the MCC. He
was the original all-rounder.
___5__there was no Olympic torch at the 1908 Games, as the tradition did not start until 1928, on 10 July
this summer the 2012 torch will pass by Taplow Court en route to the London Games in tribute to his
sporting legacy.
Desborough's pioneering games, staged at the White City in west London, is often remembered for such
___6___ events as "motor boating" (which saw stately competition speeds of up to 19mph or would
have done, if anything had been visible from the shore in Southampton), or the tug-of-war competition
(also a doubtful success, with the winning team of Liverpool policemen ___7__ by opponents for wearing
regulation steel-tipped boots).
And ___8__many of the established rules of international sport were laid down at the 1908 Games,
including the eccentric length of the standard marathon course (specially ___9__to finish by the royal box).
It was also the first Olympics to see national teams compete against each other for points and medals.
Great Britain and Ireland led the awards tables to the end, winning a total of 56 golds, but this sadly did not
go on to ___10__an Olympic convention.
3 / 20
The Games were held over six months, from April to October, with the main stadium events taking place
between 13 and 25 July in a structure put up by the master builder George Wimpey for £60,000 of
government money, ___11__with running and cycling tracks, a wrestling and gymnastics platform and a
100ft by 15ft "great bath". The stadium could hold 68,000 seated spectators, with standing room for
23,000 more.
___12___over the weather and the price of tickets were shared with the 2012 Games. The 1908 Olympics
eventually went down as the wettest in history, prompting the Observer to run a poem with these closing
lines:
But you, old sky, shall never ___13___,
Nor lose your boasted fame;
the beef of England's sons may alter,
Her climate is the same.
Whoever else is out of training,
One backs you as a cert,
For coming through the ruck
and raining
With one tremendous spurt!
The Taplow exhibition will show the impact of Desborough's family on the 1908 Games. His wife, Ettie, was
a renowned socialite, but also a fan of sport and cycling. Her two eldest sons, Julian and Billy, were keen
sportsmen at Eton and at Oxford and attended the Games throughout. Later, Julian ___14___to be
celebrated for his stirring war poem, Into Battle, published in 1915.
In 1910 Desborough said, with ___15___optimism: "In the Games in London were assembled some 2,000
he nations of the
hereafter on the cause of international peace." Five years later the Grenfell brothers died on active duty
within eight weeks of each other. A memorial sculpture was ___16____from the artist Sir Bertram
Mackennal and still stands in Taplow's grounds.
For the curator of the show, Angela Bolger, there is a nice connection between Desborough's thwarted
hopes for the Games and the current owners of his home, the SGI-UK, the Buddhist group which
___17___Taplow Court as a research centre for peace studies. "He was so concerned with the harnessing
of hope and of goodwill between nations," said Bolger this weekend.
Today international conferences are staged at Taplow Court, but during the Desboroughs' heyday it was a
bolthole for an artistic aristocratic set known as The Souls. The house was visited by royalty, too, by writers
such as HG Wells, and the dancer Isadora Duncan, who gave a performance on the lawn in Olympic year.
4 / 20
While there were ___18___ under 2,000 male entrants in the games, 37 women also took part, competing
in archery, tennis, ice skating and yachting. Three weeks before the Games opened, a "monster meeting"
demanding votes for women took place in Hyde Park and the pressure applied by the suffragettes may
have resulted in Lord Desborough becoming a vocal ___19 ___for more "ladies' events" in future Olympics.
But the most controversial element of the 1908 games was the aggrieved attitude of the American team.
At the opening ceremony the American and Swedish flags were not flown and the Swedes stormed out of
the stadium, while the Americans launched an official protest and deliberately failed to dip their flag to the
royal box. American athletes also ___20__ complaints about the length of shorts and the presence of
coaches on the track. They also understandably questioned the decision to give a gold medal to test
cricketer Johnny Douglas in the middleweight boxing division. A final verdict on a split decision was called
by the ___21___, Douglas's own father.
Olympic history was made in the 400m when the Americans refused to take part in a re-run and Wyndham
Halswelle had to take to the track alone. He ___22__ the only British athlete to have the full collection of
gold, silver and bronze medals. He was killed in 1915 by a sniper at Neuve Chapelle.
The ___23___ finale of the games was the marathon and this, too, made Olympic history. The favourite,
Canadian Tom Longboat, collapsed at 19 miles after sipping champagne along the course, which started
near Taplow at Windsor Castle. An Italian confectioner called Dorando Pietri then led the race all the way
into the stadium, where he also succumbed to heat exhaustion, hastened perhaps by the brandy he used
to refresh himself. He collapsed five times on the track and was helped across the line by supporters.
___24___ another official complaint, Pietri was disqualified and an American runner, Johnny Hayes, was
given the gold.
The Observer had looked forward to the marathon with the robust ___25____ of the times. "If the weather
is fine, the finish of this Homeric struggle ought to be a magnificent scene. Whether the United Kingdom
wins it or not, enough has been done to show that the complaints about the physical decadence of the
Mother Country are for the most part clotted nonsense."

Sound (10 points)
Oliver Goldsmith The Deserted Village (1770)
Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering blooms delayed;
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please:
How often have I loitered o'er thy green,
Where humble happiness endeared each scene;
How often have I paused on every charm,
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm,
The never-failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that topped the neighbouring hill;
The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers made.
1) In this excerpt from The Deserted Village most lines keep to a regular metre. What metre is used? (1
point)

Grammar (8 points)
Here is D.H. Lawrence's description of a father looking at a new-born child in his novel The Rainbow (1915):
But he waited for the dread of these days to pass; he saw the joy coming. He saw the lovely,
creamy, cool little ear of the baby, a bit of dark hair rubbed to a bronze floss, like bronze dust.
8) Write out the words of the long modifier we encounter in this passage. (1 point)
9) What effect is created by this long modifier? What emotion or emotions are suggested here? (2 points)
The following excerpt is taken from the opening chapter of Charles Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop (1841):
The old man kissed her; then turned to me and begged me to walk in. I did so. The door was
closed and locked. Preceding me with the light, he led me through the place I had already
seen from without, into a small sitting-room behind, in which was another door opening into
a kind of closet, where I saw a little bed that a fairy might have slept in: it looked so very small
and was so prettily arranged. The child took a candle and tripped into this little room.
10) A critic might say that we have redundant modifiers in this passage. What does that mean? (answer in
one sentence) (1 points)
11) In his analysis of this passage, Hebron says that we have "fairytale types rather than living characters"
in this excerpt. Why might the characters be seen as "types"? (2 points)
Here is an excerpt from the contemporary crime writer James Ellroy's novel The Cold Six Thousand (2001):
Littell leaned on his car. The façade expanded. He got the sun. He got Arden Smith's car. He
got the U-Haul.
He borrowed a Bureau car. He ran Arden Smith. She came back clean. He got her vehicle
stats. He nailed her Chevy.
She felt dirty. She saw the hit. She ran from the PD. That U-Haul said RUNNER.
12) This kind of writing is very stylistically marked. What technical term do linguists use to describe these
kinds of sentences? (1 point)
13) What do these kinds of sentences force the reader to do? (1 point)
7 / 20
Lexis (7 points)
In this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (c. 1595) Juliet is waiting for Romeo to join her at
night and consummate their marriage:
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,
Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner
As Phaeton would whip you to the west,
And bring in cloudy night immediately.
Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,
That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo
Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen.
Lovers can see to do their amorous rites
By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,
It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,
Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,
And learn me how to lose a winning match,
Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:
Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks,
With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold,
Think true love acted simple modesty.
Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night;
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.
14) "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds/Towards Phoebus' lodging". What in simple everyday modern
English does this mean? (one sentence) (1 point)
15) Give one example of classical references. (1 points)
16) Juliet could be said to be using hyperbole. Give an example of a hyperbolic image and explain its
meaning in everyday modern English (do not use lines 1-2).(1 points)
Juliet's words are excited; they tumble out. However her ideas and expressions are held together through
lexical associations and lexical links:
Come, civil night,
Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,
And learn me how to lose a winning match,
Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:
17) In Shakespeare's day "civil" in this context (see civil night) meant "solemn". Which word is closest in
meaning to "solemn" in these four lines? (1 point)
18) Why is the "matron" described as "sober-suited"? (1 point)
19) Juliet asks this "matron" to teach her how to lose a "winning match". Why would losing mean winning
here? (2 points)
