这篇短文主要讲述了他骑车赶超前面的人儿错过自己的转弯的故事。提醒我们遵循自己的方式，而不是试图超越别人。

【1】句意：我决定设法赶上他。

agreed同意； decided决定；refused拒绝；expected期待。根据上文“One day，when I was riding a bike，I saw a rider about 300 meters ahead of me.”可知下文是“我决定设法赶上他。”短语decide to do sth.决定去做某事；故选B。

【2】句意：我离他近了一点。

closer更接近；farther更远的；harder更努力的； earlier更早的。根据上文“I started cycling faster and faster and with every block.”可知下文是“我离他更近了”，说明我快赶上他了。故选A。

【3】句意：几分钟后，我只落后他100米左右，所以我更加努力了。

across横穿；against反对；倚；碰； before在……之前； behind在……后面。根据下文“so I tried harder.”可知，上文是“我只落后他100米左右”，这里是在……后面。故选D。

【4】句意：最后，我赶上了他并超过了他。

picked up捡起；gave up放弃； caught up赶上；took up占据，从事。根据下文“and passed him”可知，此处是“我赶上了他”。短语catch up with sb.赶上某人。故选C。

【5】句意：我感觉很好很自豪。我“打败了他”，但他甚至不知道我们在比赛。

active积极的，活跃的；proud骄傲的；lucky幸运的； tired累人的。根据下文“I “beat him”，but he didn’t even know we were racing.”可知，此处是“我感觉很好很自豪”。故选B。

【6】句意：当我超过他之后，我发现我错过了转弯。

missed错过； managed管理，经营； remained保持； changed改变。根据下文“I had run six blocks(街区) past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.”可知上文是“我发现我错过了转弯”。故选A。

【7】句意：当我们和别人比赛，试图打败他们，或者试图证明我们更成功或者更重要的时候，生活中不是这样吗？

beautiful漂亮的； careful小心的；helpful有帮助的； successful成功的。根据下文“or more important”可知此处是“试图证明我们更成功”。故选D。

【8】句意：我们花时间和精力去追他们，却错过了自己的路。

energy 精力，能量；courage勇气； power权利，力量； attention注意，关注。根据“spend our time”可知，此处是“我们花时间和精力去追他们”。故选A。

【9】句意：不健康竞争的问题，这是一个永无止境的循环。

difficulty困难；experience经历，经验；importance重要； problem问题。根据“with unhealthy competitions”可知，此处是“不健康竞争的问题”。这里是说问题。故选D。

【10】句意：总会有人以这样或那样的方式出现在你面前。

somebody某人；anybody任何人；everybody每个人； nobody没有人。根据下文“What you should do is just to run your own race and wish others well.”此处是“总会有人出现在你面前”。这里某个人用somebody。故选A。

做完型填空时，首先要通读课文，明白主旨大意，然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则，根据上下文以及语境做题，切忌主观臆断。另外，平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时，首先要确认四个选项的含义，然后分析语境和逻辑关系，确定答案。如第5小题。

四个选项的意思：active积极的，活跃的；proud骄傲的；lucky幸运的； tired累人的。根据下文“I “beat him”，but he didn’t even know we were racing.”可知，此处是“我感觉很好很自豪”。故选B。
