21、”； D 项 “令人惊叹 / 讶的”， 显然与此句意不符。答案： C2解析：从下文信息“.strugglingat about the 5th mile ， thinking， I am neverdoing thisagain ！” 容易得知比赛当天非常(extremely)热。而 B 项意为“奇怪地”， C 项意为“悲伤 / 难过地”， D 项意为“确信 / 切地”，均不符合语意。答案： A3解析： 你急切地选择某一目标但很快又意识到要实现它远比所想象的要难得多。前后是转折关系。故选B 项。答案： B4 解析：从下文内容明显得知做出选择容易而实现它当然更为艰难了。故B 项“harder ”

22、贴切。答案： B5解析： 此题考查完全倒装。时间副词then 置于句首且谓语动词为go，come等时句子全部倒装。故D项适合。答案： D6解析：由下文“.that I was younger than him and I couldnt keep up withhim” 得知，作者竟然在比赛中落后于一位70 岁老者，自然感到难堪与尴尬了。而 A 项意为“精疲力竭的”；B 项意为“失望的”； D 项意为“恼火的”，均不能表达出作者的特殊心境。答案： C7解析：由上文作者在难堪之感后同时也能自嘲地从中意识到什么和获此哲理“He wasrunning his race and I was runni

23、ng mine.He had different experience ， training and goalsand Ihad mine ” ，故A 项正确。答案： A8解析：根据作者当时心境和比赛实践，自己反省自问“生活中人们是多么频繁地将别人与自己作比较，哪怕在某些不可或不该比的场合。”同时也逐渐升华文章的主题。因此， C 项正确。答案： C专心爱心用心9解析：由上下文句意和最后一段首句中“compare ourselves to others” 显然可知 B项正确。而A 项意为“合作”， C 项意为“结 / 联合”， D 项意为“承诺”之意，明显不符句意。答案： B10解析：从下文“I

24、 was proud of my achievement” 可知，只有当作者跑完终点才会为自己的成绩自豪。故选A 项。答案： A11解析： 此处考查生活常识，我们有时 / 偶尔将自己与别人作一番比较以获得某种感觉与体会，而非A 项 “经常 / 频繁地”与 C项， D 项 “几乎不，永远不”。答案： B12 解析：从上下文 “.don t let them weaken you.you should use them to inspireyou. ” 的明显语意对比可知，A项 “相反”适合题意。 B 项 “因此”；C项 “同时”； D 项 “并且”均不合题意。答案： A13解析：考查短语give

25、 up ，意为“放弃”。答案： up14解析：考查短语such as ，表列举，意为“诸如”。答案： such15解析：考查短语“have/take/show(no)interest in” ，意为“对有 ( 无 ) 兴趣。”答案： has/takes/shows16解析：尽管他喜欢生物学，但他还是选择了国际贸易专业。答案： Though/Although17解析：考查短语be different from，意为“和不同”。答案： from18解析：如果他根据兴趣选择专业的话，这种情况就不会发生。答案： if19解析：选择一个大学里所学的专业不能决定人的一生。答案： decide/determ
