【解析】

试题分析:

【小题1】           上下文逻辑考察:根据上文I volunteered to work可知应是“工作,职位”。direction  方向; decision决定;target目标。

【小题2】           上下文逻辑考察:根据上文pass out water to the runners可知应是runners参赛选手;trainer训练员; fan粉丝;volunteer志愿者。

【小题3】           词义辨析考察:beg乞讨;drop放下;grab抓取。根据句意应是选手们经过时会拿起一杯水,边跑边喝而不应是停下喝水,故不选择B drink。

【小题4】           上下文逻辑考察:下文give a shot意思为“试一试”,故报名参加比赛。project项目;service  服务;experience经历,经验。

【小题5】           上下文逻辑考察:The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.可知第一次10000米长跑比赛是一次难忘的体验。作者跑一阵,又走一阵。好几次,作者怀疑自己能否完成。所以didn’t know 或 doubted均可。

【小题6】           上下文逻辑考察:根据下文I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him.“我觉得羞愧,我比他年轻不止50岁,但我甚至跟不上他”可知可知在接近终点的时候,一位70岁的老人从我身边快速跑过。

【小题7】           上下文逻辑考察:根据上文翻译可知我应该有挫败感。surprised吃惊的;satisfied满意的;amused逗笑的。

【小题8】           上下文逻辑考察:转折词but表示自己的沮丧时暂时的,下文He was running his race and I was running mine“他在跑他的比赛,我在跑我的比赛”表明自己对这个事情有了清醒的认识。abandon放弃。

【小题9】           上下文逻辑考察: 根据“他有他的体能、经验、训练和目标,我有我的(不要忘记我的目标只是完成比赛)”可知是“不同的”。Wonderful奇妙的,极好的;valuable有价值的;proper合适的。

【小题10】       上下文逻辑考察:根据上文可知The next year I signed up for the race and gave it a shot.I didn’t know if I could finish.完成比赛就是我自己的目标。

【小题11】       词义辨析考察:文意“过了一会儿,我突然发现这是我能从中吸取的经验。”“突然发现”可以用it hits sb that..., it strikes me that..., it occurs to sb that...等来表达。

【小题12】     上下文逻辑考察:根据下文“我把自己的羞愧转化为动力”可知“在那一刻,我对自己有了一些认识”故而用something.

【小题13】       上下文逻辑考察: 根据上文“I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him.”可知我由羞愧转化为动力。disappointment 失望;embarrassment羞愧;agreement一致;achievement成就。

【小题14】       上下文逻辑考察: 根据下文“In fact, I would run even more races”可知我并没有放弃长跑比赛。sign up 签约;pick up 捡起,获得;keep up保持,继续。

【小题15】       词义辨析考察:I would learn how to train and并列连词and连接表顺承,“我将会学习怎样正确的训练和准备”。predict预言; behave表现;pretend假装。

【小题16】       上下文逻辑考察:根据文意可知我最终完成了比赛,所以cross the finishing line冲过终点线。

【小题17】        固定搭配考察:我为我自己跑完这次比赛而感到骄傲。be proud of “因...而自豪”

【小题18】       上下文逻辑考察:根据作者比赛经历可知,在生活中,我们都会有拿自己与别人相比的时候。combine... with 结合; control控制;contribute to有助于。

【小题19】       词义辨析考察:根据文意可知,该句是一个承上启下句,把自己和别人作比较是一种非常自然的情况。 frequent频繁的; terrible糟糕的。

【小题20】       词义辨析考察:condition条件; motivation动力;situation情况;protection保护。根据Don’allow those moments to weaken you可知,下句的意思是“把他们变成动力,让他们激励你。让他们告诉你什么是可能的。”

考点:

所涉及的考点主要集中在词义辨析、逻辑关系和固定搭配上,尤其是上下文的逻辑关系。

点评:

   本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,难度不大。讲述了作者第一次参加长跑比赛,由开始的放弃心理到最后咬牙坚持完成比赛的故事。说明生活中我们不应该总是把自己和别人进行比较,而是应该把我们的不足化作前进的动力,活出自己的梦想。

   夹叙夹议完形解题指导:

技巧一:关注文章首句,领会大意。

通过理解文章的首句,我们可以明确短文话题,了解篇章结构,预测全文内容。通过理解段落的首句,也可明确每段的大意。

技巧二:根据前后语境,上下联系。

有时只需从空格所在句子的上文或下文考虑;有时需要从空格所在句子的前后2-3句考虑;还有的可能要从整个段落或整篇文章给予考虑,才可选出正确选项。上下文提供的信息对应关系以及词语的重复使用,对解答完形填空也非常有用。

对于文中生词的处理,有的可以通过句法分析判断词性,根据上下文猜测其大意;对不影响文章理解和解题的生词可以跳过不管。

技巧三:根据词语辨析,挑选答案。

理解句子含义,判断句义关系,从词汇的意义、用法和搭配考虑,把握整体意思,寻找答题线索。

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , “Sorry”.

One time as I was walking on the street , a young man ran by hurriedly , brushing against my handbag . Even as he continued on his way , he turned back and said “sorry” to me . Even in a rush , he didn’t forget to apologize .

One day , after I bought some apples , the salesman was giving me the change , but I wasn’t ready for it , and a coin dropped on the ground, “I’m sorry ,” he said while bending down to pick it up . I was puzzled —why would he apologize when it was my fault ?

Another time , I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator . At the same time , we both said “sorry” . I thought it interesting : was it really necessary for him apologize ?  

Later on , an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is public place which everyone should be able to stand in . After someone occupies a position in the escalator , making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in , isn’t it necessary to express an apology ?

During my stay in America , I gradually realized that when friction (摩擦) occurs in daily life , Americans don’t care much about who is responsible . If someone is troubled , a “sorry” is always necessary . Even if the other person is hurt , the “sorry” would cool tempers . Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses , subways or streets in America .
