A sports meet was held in our school today and there was a lot of fun in it.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“You’ll have to be quicker off the line to beat Kendall on Friday,” Coach Dugan said. Kendall this, Kendall that. For weeks, I’d been hearing about how fast this kid was — Kerry Kendall from Wilson Middle School. I was tired of it.

Eric came close to me. “I heard that Kerry Kendall trains at a camp with Olympic coaches. Not only that — I heard he cheats. I heard he’ll do whatever it takes to win,” he said. That doesn’t mean he cheats, does it? I wondered.

“Let’s go, boys,” Coach said. When I heard his whistle (哨声), I ran rather hard toward the finish line. I crossed two full steps ahead of everyone else. That should satisfy him. Coach Dugan looked at his stop-watch and nodded. “Better, Alex. But let’s do it again.” And again and again. I couldn’t get any faster. Besides, Kendall trains with Olympic coaches! And he cheats. Why bother?

Practice was never easy, but lately Coach Dugan had been pushing us extra hard. He told us to work harder, because the extra effort marked the difference between a winner and a runner-up.

A gentle wind greeted me as I got out of Dad’s car and headed toward the track. My legs felt strong and ready. Ready? Coach had me more than ready.

Kids from every middle school crowded the infield. I was searching for Kendall. But I couldn’t see anyone extra tall, so I sat on the grass to stretch. “Are you Alex?” a voice asked. I looked up over my shoulder. A tall kid. Kerry Kendall. I nodded. Kendall then sat down next to me, starting to stretch, too. Was he trying to psych me out ( 震 慑 我) by warming up so close? I wouldn’t let that happen. I kept quiet and continued stretching. “Heard you’re fast,” he said. His leg muscles bulged (隆起) like he worked out plenty. “Save it for the race,” I said.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

After a minute, he asked, “Is it true you have a private trainer?”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When Kendall turned back, I saw the truth in his eyes.

10 . Please translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese or English. 请将下面篇章中的划线句子译成汉语或英语。想象一下在太平洋的巨浪里游4公里是什么样子的。 ________________Do you think you’d feel tired? How about a 180-kilometer road race on a bicycle in the heat of Hawaii? Tired again? 82. Then what about running a marathon in the same conditions? ________________What? Still tired? Now think what it feels like to do the swim, the bike race, and the marathon “back to back”, with no breaks in between, against the toughest and fittest athletes in the world. 如果你想知道这样一个竞赛是否存在, 让我告诉你——它的确存在。 ________________In an event that lasts at least nine hours, 1,500 competitors compete for the title: Ironman. Ironman is a version of the new sport of triathlon (三项全能运动) —a combination of swimming, cycling, and running that is rapidly growing in popularity. 第一届铁人竞赛是由美国人约翰·柯林斯 (John Collins) 在1977年想出来的。 ____________________In a Hawaiian beach bar, a group of friends were debating which of the local sporting events was the toughest, the four-kilometer swim, the 180-kilometer bike race, or the 42-kilometer marathon? ________________They couldn’t reach an agreement and so to settle the argument Collins suggested the unbelievable: why not try to do them all, one after another, on the same day? And so the Hawaiian Ironman triathlon, as the new event was known, was born.
