Ⅴ.阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Runners never forget crossing the finishing line at their first marathon, and

that will be especially true for Mike Kohler. When Kohler crossed the starting line

in Fargo last Saturday, he thought he was going to run 13.1 miles, his first half

marathon. Six hours later, he had “mistakenly”completed his first full marathon,

2

26.2 miles.

Kohler, a 26­year­old plumber (水管工) who now lives in West Fargo, had lined

up for the half marathon that he hoped to complete in 150 minutes. He didn't realize

he was in a starting fence with the full marathoners. Several miles later, Kohler

began to realize he was on the course for the full marathon. “The 8­mile mark was

when I figured out that I had made a mistake，” he said. “Between then and 13.1,

I debated with myself about what I should do.”

At some point — he doesn't remember when — he doubled down on the distance.

“After I decided I was going to keep going, the thought of quitting didn't come

back. Run, walk, or crawl, I wanted to finish，” he said.

Until Saturday, Kohler's longest race was a 10kilometer run, just over 6 miles.

Even the most casual marathoners do a training run of 18 miles before the race. From

his experience, he said he learned one thing: sometimes people can do more than they

think they can.

After his long race, he went right back to work, put in a 10­hour day and then

boarded a flight to Scot­land for a vacation. “I was pretty sore, but I found the

more I kept moving, the less sore I was, so I tried my best to go about life normally

— minus running，”Kohler said from Glasgow. “I needed a break from that for a bit.”

Not for too long, though. He's already considering the Bemidji Blue Ox Marathon

in October.

( B )1．When did Kohler realize that he made a mistake?

A．Before starting the race.

B．After running 8 miles.

C．When being with the full marathoners.

D．While lining up for the half marathon.

( A )2．Which of the following best describes Kohler?

A．Determined. B．Cooperative.

C．Open­minded. D．Well­prepared.

( B )3．What can we infer from the text?

A．He went to Scotland to get a break from work.

3

B．He had never trained for the full marathon before.

C．He decided to complete the race at the 8­mile mark.

D．He was debating with himself when he finished the race.

( D )4．What might be the best title for the text?

A．Life Lies in Movement

B．Life Means Never Quitting

C．One Can Always Do More than He Can

D．One Mistakenly Runs Full Marathon Not a Half

答案及解析：

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Mike Kohler本打算参加半程马拉松却误打误撞完成了他的第一次全程马拉松比赛。

1．B 细节理解题。由第二段“The 8­mile mark was when I figured out that I had

made a mistake，” he said.可知，当Mike Kohler发现自己犯了个错误是在8公里的记号处，即Kohler意识到自己犯错了是在跑了8公里后。故选B。

2．A 推理判断题。由第三段“After I decided I was going to keep going, the thought

of quitting didn't come back. Run, walk, or crawl, I wanted to finish，”he said.可知，在他决定继续之后，就再没想过放弃，不管是跑、走或是爬，他都想完成。由此可知，Kohler是一旦下决心就坚持到底的人，是有决心的人。故选A。

3．B 推理判断题。由第四段Until Saturday, Kohler's longest race was a

10­kilometer run, just over 6 miles. Even the most casual marathoners do a training

run of 18 miles before the race.可知，直到周六，Kohler最长只跑了10公里，而即便是最不正式的马拉松运动员在比赛之前都会做18公里的训练。由此可知，Kohler从未为跑全程马拉松做过训练。故选B。

4．D 主旨大意题。文章是关于Kohler在马拉松比赛中只打算跑13.1 公里，最后却跑完全程26.2公里的故事。由此可知，D项One Mistakenly Runs Full Marathon Not a

Half(一个人错误地跑了全程马拉松，而不是半程)为本文最佳标题。故选D。

Ⅵ.完形填空

I've tried every diet to lose some weight，but I failed every __1__ has

at my life and eating habit to see the differences in my diet from the time when
