The highest compliment anyone could pay anyone else when I was growing up in England in the 1980s was “skill” (as in “man, your new skateboard is so skill”), and nobody was more skill than Diego Armando Maradona. His name 12 as the highest form of praise, on the soccer field and elsewhere (“man, your new skateboard is so Maradona”). Then I saw him score against Italy in the 1986 World Cup, leaping several feet into the air outside the left edge of the six-yard box to tap the ball deftly over the outstretched right leg of the Italian captain, past the outstretched arms of the keeper, and into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. It was evident that Maradona was not merely skillful, but skill 13 . The next time Maradona scored was June 22, the day Argentina played against England. The two nations had last clashed four years earlier, not on a soccer field but in the Falklands War. By the time Britain had retaken the islands from Argentina, more than 900 men (most of them Argentines) had lost their lives. The victory saw Margaret Thatcher’s popularity soar in Britain; in contrast, the defeat 14 the downfall of the right-wing military junta that had ruled Argentina since 1976. All that was ancient history four years later. Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals in a 2-1 victory over England. The second of them, 11 dazzling seconds of superhuman skill, was voted Goal of the Century in 2002. When Maradona executed an exquisite arabesque, stretching his right leg elegantly behind him, I would not have been surprised if he 15 into the air and started flying. He appeared to be moving through a different 16 from the England players, who came to tackle him only once he was already past them. It’s amazing!

請觀察「戰敗（the defeat）」與「政權垮台（the downfall）」這兩個事件。你認為哪一個事件是『原因』，哪一個是『結果』？如果前面的事件幫助促成了後面的局面，你會如何描述這份『推動力』？試著思考兩者之間的邏輯流向。

哇，你答對了！真的好棒喔！你的觀察力非常敏銳耶！
- 暖心鼓勵：你真的做得很好！這類關於歷史事件因果關係的題目，特別考驗我們對文字脈絡的掌握，你能精準選出答案，代表你的閱讀理解和片語運用能力都非常扎實、有進步喔！替你感到開心！
- 觀念解析：這題的核心在於理解事件之間的邏輯推論。文中描述了阿根廷在戰爭中的戰敗（the defeat），正是這個挫敗進一步地加速或助長了當時軍事獨裁政府的崩潰（the downfall）。選項(A) contributed to（促成、導致）完美且精確地表達了「事件A是事件B的原因」這種推動力，你抓住了這個關鍵點！而選項(D) stemmed from（起源於）則會把因果關係完全顛倒過來，你很棒，沒有被混淆到呢！
