24、】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者看到了一位身残志坚的女运动员跑完 了马拉松，并由此受到鼓舞：一想起那位女运动员，再难的事情也变得容易了。 1B我的工作是在救护车里跟在运动员后面以防他们有人需要救治。 2D根据第四段第一句中的 “we were already watching our last runner”可知，救 护车跟在最后一名运动员后面。 3C根据后文可知，前面的运动员跑得很快，都“消失了”，因此“我”的目光被最 后一名的妇女吸引。run 跑；separate 分开；disappear 消失；appear 出现，似乎。 4B根据后文可知，这位妇女几乎都不能走，所以可以判断她的腿有残疾
25、。 5D最后，她成为“我”视线中唯一的一名运动员了。quickly 快速地；unluckily 不幸 地；naturally 自然地；finally 最后。 6C根据上下文可知，她一边以坚定的意志向前“跑”，“我”一边心生敬佩，注视 着她。 7C根据生活常识可知，人们去那里是为了给运动员加油助威的，所以应是加油助威 的人群早已经回家了。cheering 意为“喝彩的”。tired 疲倦的；waiting 等待的；impatient 不 耐烦的。 8 B本句是一个倒装句。 主语是 “a lone man”， 谓语是 “waited”，“standing straight and ever so
26、proud”是伴随状语。 9C他紧握着系在一根柱子上的带子的另一端(以便让这位女运动员冲线)。hold 意为 “握着”，符合句意。 10B根据生活常识可知，带子应是系在一根柱子上。keep 保持；tie 拴，系；connect 连接；lead 带领。 11D根据后文的描述可知，从那一天，那位女运动员成为激励“我”人生的一部分。 12D这位妇女参赛的目的不是为击败其他运动员或者获奖。beat sb.意为“打败某 人”。follow 跟随；hope 希望；encourage 鼓励。 13 A她是去完成她所开始的事情。 由后面的 “set out (开始)”可知， 这里应用 finish。 14D当
27、我认为事情太难的时候，我就会想起最后的运动员。 15C“我”意识到再难的事也变得容易了。 .语法填空 My dad is an enthusiastic (狂热的) runner who 1._(great) influenced me when I was young.So I was very sporty before the age of 14.However， when my family moved， my new school didnt pay much attention 2._ sports and had no afterschool activities like fo

31、 2to考查介词。句意：然而，当我搬家时，我的新学校不太重视体育运动，也没有像 足球或跑步这样的课外活动。pay attention to 意为“重视”，该短语是固定短语，所以填 to。 3stopped考查时态。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以填 stopped。 4healthy考查形容词。句意：我看起来很健康。该空作 was 后的表语，用形容词，所 以填 healthy。 5To help考查不定式。句意：为了帮助自己重新恢复体形，我决定开展一种运动。 文中表示“为了”，作目的状语，用不定式，所以填 To help。 6decision考查名词。该空作 made 的宾语，用名词，
32、所以填 decision。 7that/which考查定语从句。先行词是 “a swimming pool”，关系词在从句中作宾语， 指物，所以填 that/which。 8relaxing考查形容词。句意：我发现在游泳池里游泳令人很放松。 “find sb.adj.” 这是一个固定结构，v.ed 修饰人，v.ing 修饰物，这里修饰物，所以填 relaxing。 9an考查冠词。句意：我每周游泳三次，每次一小时。文中泛指“一小时”，hour 以元音音素开头，所以填不定冠词 an。 10fitter考查比较级。句意：我希望我很快就能开始感受到定期锻炼的好处，而且会 比以前更健康。根据 than before 可知用比较级，所以填 fitter。
