【解析】本文作者讲述小时候,志愿给当地的一个长跑比赛的人分发水,看到各种参赛者之后,于是决定明年也参加比赛。在比赛的时候,由于太热了,当作者想要放弃的时候,却被一位70多岁的老人超越,于是决定不放弃,最后到达终点。这就和人生一样,我们不能拿我们的生活去跟别人的生活相比。
【1】句意:这个比赛是由当地政府举行的。根据was held可知此处是被动语态,被动语态的构成:动作的承受着+be动词+动词的过去分词+其他+by+动作的执行者;根据语境可知比赛是由政府举行,故填by。
【2】句意: 看到所有的不同的运动员我是那么地激动, 以至于我决定下一年的时候也参加比赛。different不同的,修饰可数名词的复数, 根据all the different可知此处是名词的复数形式, 故填runners。
【3】句意:比赛那天,天气热得要命。分析句子结构可知此处是副词修饰形容词 hot, 故填 terribly。
【4】句意:跑了大约5英里后,我想,“我一定是疯了。”根据上文“比赛那天,天气热得要命。跑了大约5英里之后,我在想,”和下文Why did I do this?(我为什么这样做呢?)结合首字母提示可知此时是说自己疯了, 故填 crazy。
【5】句意:第一次10公里赛跑是一次相当激动人心的经历。根据语境和首字母可知此处是指第一次10公里赛跑,故填 first。
【6】句意为:我感到有点窘迫。根据语境和音标可知此处是“感到”,故填 felt。
【7】句意: 我要比他年轻50岁。 由 than可知应填所给词的比较级形式,故填younger。
【8】句意:但是我追不上他。 短语keep up with跟上,根据短语和语境可知填with。
【9】句意:他在跑他的比赛,我在跑我的比赛。根据语境可知此处是名词性物主代词来代指我的比赛, 故填 mine。
【10】句意:当我跑过终点线的时候,我感到很自豪。根据语境和音标可知应该是感到很自豪, 故填 proud。
