When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race.My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of 37 who passed by and 38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the 39 and gave it a shot.
The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t 40 if I could finish.
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very 41 , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 42 for a second.
But then I 43 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 44 capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 45 was only to finish.
After a minute, it 46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned 47 about myself in that moment. I turned my 48 into inspiration.
I decided that I would not 49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and 50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I 51 the finishing line, I was proud 52 my accomplishment.
In life we all have those moments when we 53 ourselves to others. It’s only 54 . Don’allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into 55 and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible.

(答案→)A 解析：【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。”
