2021年上半年全國英語等級考試一級閱讀理解第一篇

Sport is very popular in England. In other words, lots of English people like the idea of sport. A lot watch sport on TV. But the number of people who take part in sport is quite small. On the whole, English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.

The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters (支持者) of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions (級別) of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!

Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to get a ball through a net; tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent (對手) can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.

Actually, that is not quite true. Athletics(田徑) isn’t played with a ball, nor horseracing. Perhaps that is why they are not as popular as football!

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army(軍隊) came north from England to make a war(戰(zhàn)爭)on Scotland. The Scots loved their country very much. They wanted to drive the Romans out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It seemed(好像)that the Romans would win. One night，the leader(指揮者)of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight，my men,"he said. "Tomorrow we will have one more battle(戰(zhàn)役). We must win or we will die."

They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they got to the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，make sure not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(薊). He cried out and his sudden cry woke(喚醒) the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The battle was hard but it did not last long. In the end, the Scots drove out the Romans and saved their country.

The thistle is not a beautiful plant(植物). It has needles(針)all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.
