[语篇解读]本文讲述了作者在搭档Tina的“激励清单”的帮助下， 顺利完成了马拉松竞走比赛的故事。

1. A根据下文作者利用Tina给的“cheering list”完成竞走比赛的故事 可知，Tina习惯在比赛中使用给自己鼓劲儿的方式。故选A项。

2. D Tina告诉作者“激励清单”在比赛中帮了她很多。

teach教;save 挽救，节约;calm使……冷静;help帮助。从下文可知“激励清单”帮 助作者完成了比赛，故选D项。

3. D尽管作者认为赛跑时看清单会减慢速度，但由于Tina认为“激 励清单”很有用，作者就把它带到了起点。hide藏;give给;move移 动,搬家;carry运，搬，携带。此处表示随身携带，故选D项。

4. B清单上总共有26条建议，一英里一条，虽然作者认为看这么多 建议会减慢速度，但她不想伤害Tina的感情，所以保留了“激励清 单”。故选B项。

5. C作者正在参加一项马拉松竞走比赛。故选race (比赛，竞赛) 。

6. B作者完成了竞走比赛的第一英里，在看时间时看了一眼清单，看 到的是“激励清单”的第一条，也就是位于最上面的，at the top符合 题意。故选B项。

[长难句]Together we walked all over the town and even entered a mara-thon (马拉松) ，a full 26 miles,but she did give me a list to take with me. 我们一起走遍了整个城镇，甚至报名参加了竞走马拉松比赛——整整 26英里，而她居然让我带上一份“激励清单”。这是一个由连词but连接的并列句；but she did give me a list to take with me中的did表7K强调，助动词do可用于肯定句的动词前以 加强语气，其后动词用原形。如:She does speak English very well.她英 语说得真的好。
