1. Understanding the Mock Exam Structure | 理解模拟考试结构
The typical Year 8 CIE PE mock paper is worth 40 marks in total and is completed in 45 minutes. Section A carries 15 marks and uses multiple-choice and short-answer questions that test factual recall, while Section B carries the remaining 25 marks and uses structured questions that require application and explanation.
Year 8 CIE 体育模拟卷通常共 40 分，考试时间为 45 分钟。A 卷占 15 分，以选择题和简答题为主，考查事实性记忆；B 卷占其余 25 分，以结构化问题为主，要求运用知识并作出解释。
A simple pacing rule is one mark per minute. If you finish Section A in about 15 minutes, you leave roughly 30 minutes for Section B, which is where the extended answers and most of the marks are located.
一个简单的配速原则是"一分钟一分"。如果你用约 15 分钟完成 A 卷，就能为 B 卷留出大约 30 分钟，而长答案与大部分分数都在 B 卷中。
- Section A (15 marks): multiple choice, one-word answers, labelling diagrams, definitions.
- Section B (25 marks): describe, explain, compare, suggest and evaluate questions worth 2 to 6 marks each.
- Total: 40 marks in 45 minutes, no calculator, no dictionary.
- A 卷（15 分）：选择题、单词作答、标注图示、下定义。
- B 卷（25 分）：describe、explain、compare、suggest、evaluate 类问题，每题 2 至 6 分。
- 合计：45 分钟完成 40 分，不可使用计算器或词典。
| Section | Question types | Marks | Suggested time |
| A | Multiple choice, short answer, recall | 15 | 15 minutes |
| B | Structured, explanation, application | 25 | 30 minutes |
| Total | Whole paper | 40 | 45 minutes |
Before you write anything, read the whole paper once. Questions later in Section B sometimes give you clues for earlier definitions, and knowing where the 6-mark questions sit stops you from running out of time at the end.
动笔之前先把整份试卷通读一遍。B 卷后面的题目有时会为前面的定义题提供线索，而提前知道 6 分大题的位置，可以避免最后时间不够。
2. Command Words and Mark Allocation | 指令词与分值分配
Most lost marks in Year 8 PE come from misreading the command word rather than from not knowing the content. State, name and identify need only a short answer; describe needs detail about what happens; explain needs a reason linked to the point with because or so that.
Year 8 体育中大部分失分并非因为不会知识，而是因为看错了指令词。state、name、identify 只需要简短答案；describe 需要说明发生了什么细节；explain 则需要用 because 或 so that 把原因与要点连接起来。
As a general guide, one clear point earns one mark. A 2-mark explain question therefore needs two linked ideas, not one long sentence and not two unrelated facts.
一般来说，一个明确的要点对应一分。因此一道 2 分的 explain 题需要两个相互关联的观点，而不是一句很长的句子，也不是两个互不相干的事实。
| Command word | What the examiner wants | Typical marks |
| State / Name / Identify | One word or short phrase, no reason | 1 |
| Describe | Say what happens, step by step | 1-2 |
| Explain | Point plus cause, using because / so that | 2-3 |
| Suggest | Apply knowledge to a new sporting situation | 2-4 |
| Compare / Evaluate | Both sides, then a judgement | 4-6 |
A common error is writing a bullet list when the question says explain. Lists usually score zero on explain questions because no cause has been given, even if every term you used is correct.
最常见的错误是：题目要求 explain，考生却写成了一串要点列表。explain 题中这样通常得零分，因为并没有给出原因，哪怕你写的每个术语都是对的。
3. The Skeletal System: Bones and Functions | 骨骼系统：骨与功能
Skeletal system questions usually appear in Section A as labelling tasks and in Section B as explain questions about protection or movement. You must be able to name bones using the correct anatomical terms rather than everyday words such as arm bone or leg bone.
骨骼系统题目通常以标注题的形式出现在 A 卷，也会以关于保护或运动的 explain 题出现在 B 卷。你必须用正确的解剖学术语写出骨名，而不能用"胳膊的骨头""腿的骨头"这类日常说法。
The skeleton has five main functions: support, protection, movement, blood cell production and mineral storage. Blood cell production and mineral storage are the two functions students most often forget.
骨骼有五大功能：支撑、保护、运动、造血和储存矿物质。其中造 blood 细胞与储存矿物质是学生最容易漏掉的两项功能。
- Cranium: protects the brain.
- Ribs and sternum: protect the heart and lungs.
- Vertebral column: protects the spinal cord and allows bending.
- Pelvis: protects the bladder and supports the upper body.
- Long bones (femur, humerus, tibia): act as levers for movement.
- 颅骨（cranium）：保护脑。
- 肋骨与胸骨：保护心脏和肺。
- 脊柱（vertebral column）：保护脊髓，并允许身体弯曲。
- 骨盆（pelvis）：保护膀胱，并支撑上半身。
- 长骨（股骨、肱骨、胫骨）：作为运动的杠杆。
Learn the paired bones as well as the main ones: radius and ulna in the forearm, tibia and fibula in the lower leg, carpals and tarsals in the hand and foot. A 3-mark explain about a tennis serve often expects humerus, radius, ulna and the shoulder joint to be named correctly.
除主要骨名外，还要记住成对出现的骨：前臂的桡骨与尺骨、小腿的胫骨与腓骨、手部的腕骨与足部的跗骨。一道关于网球发球的 3 分 explain 题，往往要求正确写出肱骨、桡骨、尺骨以及肩关节。
4. Joints and Movement Types | 关节与运动类型
A joint is where two or more bones meet. Year 8 papers usually ask you to classify joints as fixed (immovable), slightly movable or freely movable (synovial), and then to link a named joint to a named movement.
关节是两块或两块以上骨头相接的部位。Year 8 的试卷通常要求你把关节分为不动关节、微动关节和可动关节（滑膜关节），然后把某个具体关节与某个具体动作联系起来。
For synovial joints you should know the structure and the job of each part: cartilage reduces friction, synovial fluid lubricates, the synovial membrane produces the fluid, the joint capsule holds the bones together, and ligaments join bone to bone.
对于滑膜关节，你需要掌握各结构及其作用：关节软骨减少摩擦，滑液起润滑作用，滑膜分泌滑液，关节囊把骨连接在一起，韧带把骨与骨相连。
| Joint | Type | Main movements |
| Shoulder | Ball and socket | Flexion, extension, abduction, rotation, circumduction |
| Elbow | Hinge | Flexion, extension |
| Hip | Ball and socket | Flexion, extension, abduction, rotation |
| Knee | Hinge | Flexion, extension |
| Ankle | Hinge | Plantar flexion, dorsiflexion |
Movement vocabulary is worth memorising precisely: flexion decreases the angle at a joint, extension increases it, abduction moves a limb away from the midline, adduction brings it back, and rotation turns a bone around its own axis.
动作术语必须精确记忆：屈（flexion）减小关节角度，伸（extension）增大角度，外展（abduction）使肢体远离身体中线，内收（adduction）使其回到中线，旋（rotation）是骨绕自身轴转动。
When a question asks for the movement at a joint, name both the joint and the movement. "The knee flexes" scores the mark; "the leg bends" usually does not.
当题目问某关节的动作时，要同时写出关节名称和动作名称。"膝关节屈曲（the knee flexes）"能得分，"腿弯了"通常不得分。
5. Muscular System and Antagonistic Pairs | 肌肉系统与拮抗肌
Muscles work in antagonistic pairs: while one contracts and shortens, the other relaxes and lengthens. Muscles can only pull, never push, which is exactly why a pair is needed to reverse a movement.
肌肉以拮抗肌对的形式工作：一块收缩变短时，另一块舒张变长。肌肉只能产生拉力，不能产生推力，这正是需要成对肌肉来还原动作的原因。
You should be able to name the major muscles and their location: deltoid at the shoulder, pectorals at the chest, abdominals at the front of the trunk, trapezius and latissimus dorsi at the back, biceps and triceps in the upper arm, quadriceps and hamstrings in the thigh, and gastrocnemius in the calf.
你需要能说出主要肌肉及其位置：肩部的三角肌、胸部的胸肌、躯干前部的腹肌、背部的斜方肌与背阔肌、上臂的肱二头肌与肱三头肌、大腿的股四头肌与腘绳肌、小腿的腓肠肌。
| Movement | Agonist (prime mover) | Antagonist |
| Elbow flexion | Biceps brachii | Triceps brachii |
| Elbow extension | Triceps brachii | Biceps brachii |
| Knee flexion | Hamstrings | Quadriceps |
| Knee extension | Quadriceps | Hamstrings |
| Plantar flexion at ankle | Gastrocnemius | Tibialis anterior |
A full-mark answer about a sporting action follows a fixed pattern: name the agonist, name the antagonist, state that the agonist contracts while the antagonist relaxes, name the joint, and name the resulting movement. Missing any one of these parts usually costs a mark.
关于体育动作的满分答案有固定套路：写出主动肌、写出拮抗肌、说明主动肌收缩而拮抗肌舒张、写出关节名称、写出由此产生的动作。缺少其中任何一项，通常都会丢一分。
6. Muscular Contraction and Movement Analysis | 肌肉收缩与动作分析
Contraction is described in two main ways. Isotonic contraction changes the length of the muscle and produces movement, while isometric contraction produces tension without changing length, as in a held plank or a wall sit.
肌肉收缩主要有两种描述方式。等张收缩（isotonic）改变肌肉长度并产生动作；等长收缩（isometric）产生张力但不改变长度，例如保持平板支撑或靠墙静蹲。
Isotonic contraction is further split into concentric, where the muscle shortens under tension, and eccentric, where the muscle lengthens under tension while still working. In a bicep curl the upward phase is concentric for the biceps and the lowering phase is eccentric.
等张收缩又可细分为向心收缩（concentric，肌肉在张力下变短）和离心收缩（eccentric，肌肉在张力下被拉长但仍在工作）。在哑铃弯举中，上举阶段肱二头肌为向心收缩，下放阶段为离心收缩。
When you analyse a movement, work through it in order: joint, agonist, contraction type, movement produced. This four-step chain is easy to mark and hard to get wrong under exam pressure.
分析动作时按顺序推进：关节 → 主动肌 → 收缩类型 → 产生的动作。这条四步链条便于评分，在考试压力下也不容易出错。
A model sentence reads: "During the upward phase of a bicep curl, the biceps brachii contracts concentrically at the elbow joint, causing flexion, while the triceps brachii relaxes as the antagonist." Note the use of while to show the antagonistic pair clearly.
一句范例答案可以这样写："在哑铃弯举的上举阶段，肱二头肌在肘关节处进行向心收缩，产生屈肘动作，同时拮抗肌肱三头肌舒张。"注意用 while 清楚体现拮抗肌关系。
7. Fitness Principles: Components of Fitness | 体能原则：体适能组成
Components of fitness questions ask you to define a component and then match it to a sport. The examiner is checking whether you can justify your choice rather than simply list components.
体适能组成类题目要求你先定义某一素质，再把它与某项运动对应起来。考官考查的是你能否为自己的选择给出理由，而不是简单罗列名词。
Health-related components include cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition. Skill-related components include speed, agility, balance, coordination, power and reaction time.
与健康相关的素质包括心肺耐力、肌肉力量、肌肉耐力、柔韧性和体成分；与技能相关的素质包括速度、灵敏、平衡、协调、爆发力和反应时。
- Cardiovascular endurance: marathon running, cross-country.
- Muscular strength: shot put, rugby scrum.
- Flexibility: gymnastics, swimming butterfly.
- Agility: badminton, football dribbling.
- Balance: gymnastics beam, cycling.
- Reaction time: sprint start, cricket batting.
- 心肺耐力：马拉松、越野跑。
- 肌肉力量：推铅球、橄榄球争球。
- 柔韧性：体操、蝶泳。
- 灵敏：羽毛球、足球带球。
- 平衡：体操平衡木、自行车。
- 反应时：短跑起跑、板球击球。
For a 3-mark question, use the structure: name the component, define it accurately, then apply it to the named sport in one sentence. Application sentences earn the highest marks because they show understanding rather than memory.
面对 3 分题，可用这样的结构：写出素质名称、准确定义、再用一句话把它应用到题目指定的运动中。应用类句子得分最高，因为它体现的是理解而非背诵。
8. Fitness Testing and Data Interpretation | 体适能测试与数据解读
Fitness testing questions combine practical knowledge with simple data handling. You should know which test measures which component, and be able to compare a result against a norm table and comment on it.
体适能测试题把实践知识与简单数据处理结合起来。你需要知道哪项测试测量哪项素质，并能把结果与常模表比较后作出评价。
