【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍的是关于奥运会的事情。在1896年，第一届现代奥林匹克运动会在雅典举行，在那之后，很多国家都举行过奥运会。举办奥运会的国家都会设计一个会徽，在2004年，奥运会回到了它的家乡—雅典。2008年，北京也成功地举行了奥运会。

1.from then on 是一个固定的短语，意思是从那以后；such as 例如，表示举例。successfully 是一个副词，意思是成功地；在这个句子中出现了很多国家的名字，这些都是举行过奥运会的国家。

2.根据短文第一段中When a country hosted the Olympic Games, they always made an emblem可知，当一个国家举行奥运会的时候，他们总是会制作一个会徽。故答案为They always made an emblem。

3.根据短文第一段中After more than a hundred years, the Games returned to its hometown in the year of 2004可知，100多年以后，奥运会才于2004年回到了它的家乡。故应该填More than a hundred years。

4.根据短文第二段中In 2008, Beijing hosted the Olympics. Its emblem is “Jing”. It means the capital of China可知，在2008年，北京举行了奥运会，它的会徽是京。这个会徽的意思是的代表中国的首都北京。故这个问题的答案是肯定的。
