答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．A;5．D;6．C;7．A;8．B;9．D;10．A;11．C;12．B;13．A;14．D;15．C;16．B;17．A;18．C;19．A;20．D;
解析：

(1)

根据上下文，前面说过去在4分钟内进行一英里赛跑是不可能的，接着语气一转根据gradually though…看出这个比赛的时间的所提高民。

(2)

根据上文，现在在4分钟内跑完一英里成为有可能了，和前面的impossible呼应。

(3)

一个英格兰选手，不能选player，游戏者，运动员，指出赛运动员。

(4)

根据上文，他想突破这个障碍，要在4分钟内跑完一英里，要向这个目标努力。

(5)

这个目标值得去付出努力

(6)

开始进行一系列的训练

(7)

allow sb．sth．允许自己休息2分钟，其他三项明显意思上和这个语境不符。

(8)

根据后面的4∶04可以看出这里是61秒

(9)

他似乎无法把时间降到60秒，其他选项意思不符。

(10)

最后他和朋友们去爬山了，从训练停滞不前的状况中解脱出来出去散心。

(11)

前面出去爬山当然是他自己做的决定

(12)

cost sb．Sth．使某人花费、付出，这里意思是如果他扭伤踝骨，就会花去好几个星期的宝贵的训练时间来治疗。

(13)

爬山是在训练过程中的停歇，所以用brea。作名词意思是间隙、停歇、短期假日。这个题容易出错，原因是想不到这个词作名词的用法。

(14)

爬山回来后，重新开始训练

(15)

比赛的日子来临了

(16)

根据上问可以看出做出这个决定很不容易，很艰难的决定。

(17)

是去为了这个目标，为了创这个记录跑，还是等待下一次比赛呢?

(18)

前面说关键是天气不好，刮很大风，影响跑步，所以这里是和天气有关系，是不是要等到下一次比赛，天气好点的时候去比赛呢?

(19)

如果等待，那就会失去现在最佳的身体和心理状态。

(20)

他成功了，当然是正确的决定了。
