解答 16.C 根据后面…between the six miles I was used to and the hard 26.2 miles of the race可知6英里和26.2英里是有很大的不同的,因此选C.
17.A 由上文可知,这次马拉松比赛里程是26.2英里,因此作者要训练,因此选A.
18.B starting line意思是"起跑线",因此选B.
19.A 由上文可知,马拉松是在十一月份的早上开始,因此天气很寒冷,因此答案选A.
20.D 根据语境可知,我们跑过Verrazano-Narrows Bridge,from Staten Island into Brooklyn,因此选D.
21.D urge sb.on意思是"催促我们继续向前跑",此处on为副词,意为"继续(下去),向前"
22.A 根据前面可知作者在5英里是状态最佳,但是在途中休息后却很难达到最佳状态.have trouble (in)doing sth意思是"做某事有困难",因此选A.
23.C make a stop意思是"停止,休息,停留";make a sign"做一个手势";make a mark"做记号,做标记";make a dream"造梦",根据语境可知答案选C.
24.A draw one's attention"吸引某人注意力",根据语境可知答案选A.
25.B keep(it)up 意思是"坚持下去",根据下文提示How had she kept up?可知答案选B.
26.C make it"做到,成功",根据下文Bring out the best in you and I'm sure you'll make it提示可知,答案选C.
27.B 此处考查过去分词短语做后置定语.my name printed on my T-shirt意思是"印在我的T恤衫上的名字".
28.D 根据语境可知是作者又看到了那位女士,saw"看见",因此答案选D.
29.A 根据上下文可知,那位女士看着我,对我竖起了大拇指,此处right为副词,意思是"正好,一直".
30.C 此处所要表达的意思是"我到达曼哈顿20英里的标志后",还有6英里要走.hit为动词,意思是"击打,击中,达到",根据语境可知答案选C.
31.D 根据语境可知,作者跑了20英里以后,自己的两条腿感觉像是死了的样子,其他三项与语境不符.
32.B 根据语境可知,我不能再向前挪动一步,说明作者很累,step"步,脚步".
33.C 依据上文Then came a voice from the crowd:"Bring out the best in you and I'm sure you'll make it,Debi!"可知,作者把那位给他加油的女士看做自己的啦啦队队长,正是由于她的鼓励使作者完成了马拉松比赛.
34.B 由语境可知,作者在筋疲力尽的时候,那位女士给他鼓励,然后作者看着她,坚持到了最后.
35.D 由上文可知I discovered a last hidden source of strength…The finish line!I did it…作者最后成功了,这个成功归功于一位陌生人的意想不到的帮助(鼓励),因此答案选D.
