完形填空

　　It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn't healed(痊愈) from a(n) 1 injury. I had 2 whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000-meter run.

　　“Ready…set…” The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell farther and farther behind.

　　“Hooray!” shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.

　　“Maybe I should 7 ,” I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn't be worth it, 11 my foot did heal.

　　When I finished, I heard a cheer－ 12 than the one I'd heard earlier, I turned around and 13 , the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys.”

　　I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me. “Wow, you've got courage!” one of them told me.

　　“Courage? I just 15 a race!” I thought.

　　“I would have given up on the first lap,” said another girl. “We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?”

　　Suddenly I regained 16 . I decided to 17 track next year. I realized strength and courage aren't always 18 in medals and victories, but in the 19 we overcome(战胜). The strongest people are not always the people who win, 20 the people who don't give up when they lose.

Answer 1

答案：C;D;C;B;A;A;B;D;C;C;A;D;B;B;D;B;D;A;B;D
解析：

1．C　　以前(早些时候)受伤未愈。 　　2．D　　(参赛前)曾怀疑能否参加比赛。根据从句的whether or not可知。 　　3．C　　ready此处作状语，表伴随。由下文可知。 　　4．B　　别人跑在自己的前面。由下句的状语从句可知。 　　5．A　　自己被越落越远，感到惭愧。 　　6．A　　“Hooray”正是人群的欢呼声和为运动员加油的喊声，cheer最佳。 　　7．B　　根据下句“I decided to keep going”可知此时作者想要终止比赛而退场弃权，而不是减速(A)，继续(C)或加速(D)。 　　8．D　　表转折，前面的想法和后面的决定是转折关系。 　　9．C　　在脚伤和落后带来的痛苦中向前跑着。 　　10．C　　因为痛苦而不想参加明年的竞赛(赛跑)。race是“赛车、赛跑”等速度赛。attend是及物动词，不需要空后的in。 　　11．A　　接上句的放弃明年参赛机会的决定，可知参赛太不值(不划算)，就算是脚伤好了也不划算，选A项表让步。 　　12．D　　自己跑完全程后，全场的欢呼更响了，后文可知为作者的坚韧和勇气而欢呼，应更响亮。 　　13．B　　根据下文“they must be cheering for the boys”句中的“must”，可知作者误认为人们在为即将开赛的男孩子们欢呼，而不是为跑在最后的自己欢呼，作者对此确信无疑。 　　14．B　　句意应为“我正要离开赛场，就在这时几个女孩走了过来”。此处的“when”意思是“(刚要)就在这时”。 　　15．D　　上文女孩子过来夸奖时作者心中有疑虑，“刚输了比赛，有什么好赞美的呢？” 　　16．B 　　17．D　　上文另一女孩告诉作者“我们在为你喝彩(为你的坚持不懈)”，作者便又获得了希望，决定明年继续参赛，即坚持(stick with)径赛(即赛跑)。A项若是hold on to，可译为“坚持、不放弃”，但一般指“抓住某物不放手”或“不放弃对某物的所有权”也不合题意。 　　18．A　　B项和D项易排除，C项意为“检测、测试”，不符句意。 　　19．B　　全句意为：我意识到，力量和勇气不总是用奖牌和胜利来衡量的，而是用我们战胜(对手/自我/困难)时所付出的奋斗(来衡量的)。 　　20．D　　与上半句的not连用，“not but”，意为“不是，而是”。
