Section Ⅳ　Writing a sports story
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　Feeling a bit less stable （穩定的） than before？ Maybe you find yourself holding on to handrails （扶手） more when going down stairs？ As we get older， our balance gets worse. But how much does it matter？
　　A lot， it turns out. If your balance isn’t great， you’re more likely to fall. That can have serious results as we age， when bones often become weak. Research has also shown that balance is important for how long we will live.
　　A study of 1，702 people aged 51 to 75 found that people who couldn’t stand on one leg for ten seconds were nearly twice as likely to die in the next ten years. Falls could be one reason why， but that’s unlikely to be the whole story. Individuals who were in worse health were more likely to fail the ten-second test.
　　There are three parts to balance. The first is the visual system which shows us whether we’re losing balance. Then the vestibular system （前庭系統） in the inner ear sends information to our brain about the move of our head. The third one is our body’s ability to sense its location， movement and actions. People with ear problems that cause dizziness （眩暈）， or muscle weakness are more likely to have balance problems. If you suffer from dizziness， see your doctor to find out the reason. But there’s a lot you can do yourself to improve physical strength.
　　If you exercise， you’re ahead of the game. One study found that a group that did 32 weeks of aerobic exercise increased their ability to stand on one foot by 31 per cent. Otherwise， improve your balance by walking， cycling or climbing stairs — this will strengthen muscles in the lower body — or by practising yoga or tai chi.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　“Hello， hello！” called out a pleasant voice.
　　Andy Waters looked up and saw his new neighbour， Francis Frame.
　　“Hello， yourself，” he shouted cheerfully， as he fastened on his roller skates. “Want to go skating， Francis？”
　　“I can’t. I lost my roller skates last fall， and mother says she can’t afford to buy me another pair just now.”
　　Andy looked at his neighbour’s long legs. They were just the right kind， he thought， to make a fast skater.
　　“That’s hard luck， Francis， because if you had some roller skates， maybe you could be in our skating relay race （接力賽） next Saturday.”
　　“Oh！ Don’t I wish I had some skates！” cried Francis.
　　“I have to go for the training now but I can let you use my skates sometime when I am not using them.” Andy said bye to Francis.
　　When Andy skated slowly toward the end of the block， he thought about Francis Frame. Francis hadn’t lived in the block very long， and none of the other boys knew him. So the new boy was left to himself a great deal， and must often be very lonely.
　　“Yes，” said Andy to himself， “it certainly is a pity about Francis！ I ought to do something about it.”
　　As he skated to the vacant lot where they usually trained and raced， he met the captain of his team， a large boy called Buddy Bowers. “I stopped for a few moments to talk to my new neighbour，” said Andy. “Don’t you think we could use another boy on our team for the race？ That new boy， Francis Frame， I mean？”
　　“We just can’t do it. The other team wouldn’t let us take on an extra boy.” Buddy refused.
　　Soon the training began and Andy practiced very hard， for his heart was set on having his team win the race. Still， he couldn’t help knowing that his short legs kept him from being a fast skater. On the way home， Andy thought of a way to help his team win as well as help Francis Frame — he could pretend to be sick on the racing day and have Francis take his place！
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

2.D　推理判斷題。根據第三段第一句可推知，作者第三段講到研究結論是為了證明平衡的重要性。
3.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的People with ear problems ... have balance problems.可知，一個肌肉無力的老人可能有平衡問題，從而導致跌倒。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了沒有運動天賦的作者不畏艱辛，挑戰自我，最終成功完成了自己第一次馬拉松比賽的故事。

6.D　根據上文I didn’t do either well.和下文I was “not athletic”可知，作者兩項都沒有做好，老師告知他他不擅長運動。
7.A　根據下文可知，作者30多歲才開始跑步，并意識到跑步是一場與自己的戰斗。由此可知，“not athletic”這個看法一直困擾著他，使他無法擺脫“自己不擅長運動”這個觀點。stuck with無法擺脫。
8.B　下文running was not about competition or whether or not I was athletic， but a battle against my own body and mind是作者30多歲開始跑步時意識到的。
9.C　根據上文a battle against my own body and mind可知，作者認為跑步是一場與自己的身體和思想的戰斗，是對個人意志的考驗。
10.D　根據上文I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line可知，夢到自己甚至找不到終點線，作者理應是緊張的。

12.D　根據下文I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again可知，作者累得氣喘吁吁，受傷的腳踝也疼得厲害。
13.B　根據上文the once injured ankle hurt badly可知，作者不顧疼痛，在跑道上走了一會兒，然后又跑了起來。
14.C　根據下文I could see my wife可知，作者應是在接近23英里的時候，看到了妻子。
15.A　根據上文waving并結合常識可知，妻子應是在向作者揮手示意。
16.C　根據語境可知，作者參加馬拉松比賽，應是凌晨4點起床訓練，且結合上文She is my biggest fan.可知，作者的妻子是支持作者的行為的，因此并不介意凌晨的鬧鐘。
17.B　根據上文可知，作者的妻子是他最大的粉絲，支持他跑步，因此推斷，作者的妻子從來不質問他在跑步上的花費。
18.A　根據上文And I got a medal.可知，作者得到了獎牌，這次馬拉松比賽使自己擺脫了“不擅長運動”的標簽，現在可以稱呼自己為“馬拉松勝利者”了。
Ⅲ.
　　Thinking of this， he raced to the home of his new neighbour.Andy found Francis in Francis’ garden. He excitedly told Francis the news and handed him his roller skates. But Francis didn’t like the idea， which he thought was wrong. Andy patiently said to him， “You have the most important long legs of speed skaters， and my short legs can’t resist this difficulty no matter how hard I try.Only you can make our team win the championship！” Francis took his advice and began to train hard.
　　Finally came the racing day， and Andy and Francis showed up together.He said to Francis， “Come on， my friend！ Don’t be afraid. You can make it！” Francis turned to Andy and smiled， but still felt nervous inside. The game started. Francis was on his way. Andy kept cheering him on in the audience， hoping to win the first place. Finally， when the race drew to a close， Francis reached the finish line first. Andy shouted. “Francis， you are the best.” The two hugged and smiled happily after the game.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　Feeling a bit less stable （穩定的） than before？ Maybe you find
yourself holding on to handrails （扶手） more when going down stairs？
As we get older， our balance gets worse. But how much does it matter？
　　A lot， it turns out. If your balance isn’t great， you’re more
likely to fall. That can have serious results as we age， when bones often
become weak. Research has also shown that balance is important for how
long we will live.
　　A study of 1，702 people aged 51 to 75 found that people who
couldn’t stand on one leg for ten seconds were nearly twice as likely to
die in the next ten years. Falls could be one reason why， but that’s
unlikely to be the whole story. Individuals who were in worse health were
more likely to fail the ten-second test.
　　There are three parts to balance. The first is the visual system which
shows us whether we’re losing balance. Then the vestibular system （前
庭系統） in the inner ear sends information to our brain about the move of
our head. The third one is our body’s ability to sense its location，
movement and actions. People with ear problems that cause dizziness
（眩暈）， or muscle weakness are more likely to have balance
problems. If you suffer from dizziness， see your doctor to find out the
reason. But there’s a lot you can do yourself to improve physical
strength.
　　If you exercise， you’re ahead of the game. One study found that a
group that did 32 weeks of aerobic exercise increased their ability to stand
on one foot by 31 per cent. Otherwise， improve your balance by
walking， cycling or climbing stairs — this will strengthen muscles in the
lower body — or by practising yoga or tai chi.

Ⅲ.讀后續寫

成一篇完整的短文。
　　“Hello， hello！” called out a pleasant voice.
　　Andy Waters looked up and saw his new neighbour， Francis Frame.
　　“Hello， yourself，” he shouted cheerfully， as he fastened on his
roller skates. “Want to go skating， Francis？”
　　“I can’t. I lost my roller skates last fall， and mother says she
can’t afford to buy me another pair just now.”
　　Andy looked at his neighbour’s long legs. They were just the right
kind， he thought， to make a fast skater.
　　“That’s hard luck， Francis， because if you had some roller
skates， maybe you could be in our skating relay race （接力賽） next
Saturday.”
　　“Oh！ Don’t I wish I had some skates！” cried Francis.
　　“I have to go for the training now but I can let you use my skates
sometime when I am not using them.” Andy said bye to Francis.
　　When Andy skated slowly toward the end of the block， he thought
about Francis Frame. Francis hadn’t lived in the block very long， and
none of the other boys knew him. So the new boy was left to himself a
great deal， and must often be very lonely.
　　“Yes，” said Andy to himself， “it certainly is a pity about
Francis！ I ought to do something about it.”
　　As he skated to the vacant lot where they usually trained and raced，
he met the captain of his team， a large boy called Buddy Bowers. “I
stopped for a few moments to talk to my new neighbour，” said Andy.
“Don’t you think we could use another boy on our team for the race？
That new boy， Francis Frame， I mean？”
　　“We just can’t do it. The other team wouldn’t let us take on an
extra boy.” Buddy refused.
　　Soon the training began and Andy practiced very hard， for his heart
was set on having his team win the race. Still， he couldn’t help
knowing that his short legs kept him from being a fast skater. On the way
home， Andy thought of a way to help his team win as well as help
Francis Frame — he could pretend to be sick on the racing day and have
Francis take his place！
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　Thinking of this， he raced to the home of his new neighbour.
　　Finally came the racing day， and Andy and Francis showed up
together. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　Thinking of this， he raced to the home of his new neighbour.Andy
found Francis in Francis’ garden. He excitedly told Francis the news and
handed him his roller skates. But Francis didn’t like the idea， which he
thought was wrong. Andy patiently said to him， “You have the most
important long legs of speed skaters， and my short legs can’t resist this
difficulty no matter how hard I try.Only you can make our team win the
championship！” Francis took his advice and began to train hard.
　　Finally came the racing day， and Andy and Francis showed up
together.He said to Francis， “Come on， my friend！ Don’t be
afraid. You can make it！” Francis turned to Andy and smiled， but still
felt nervous inside. The game started. Francis was on his way. Andy kept
cheering him on in the audience， hoping to win the first place. Finally，
when the race drew to a close， Francis reached the finish line first. Andy
shouted. “Francis， you are the best.” The two hugged and smiled
happily after the game.
謝謝觀看！
