【答案】4.A5.B6.D7.C

【解析】

【分析】本文是记叙文，记述了作者从不喜欢跑步到参加铁人三项比赛并接受训练备战马拉松的故事。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段"Weeksago,thelongestIhadeverrunwas5K.（几周前，我跑过的最长距离是5公

里）”和<lBeforelastsummer,Ihadneverparticipatedinanykindofraceatall.（在去年夏天之前，我从未参加

过任何形式的比赛）”可推知，作者是没有什么跑步经验的。故选A项。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“AttheendofJuly,Ihadcompletedtriathlon（铁人三项）aftertwoweeksoftraining.At

theendofitcametherun—whichendedupmorelikeawalk.（七月底，经过两周的训练，我完成了铁人三项。

它最后一项是跑步——跑步最后更像是散步）”可知，跑步是铁人三项中最后一项。故选B项。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“ThejoyofthetriathlonhadbeenthatIchallengedmylimits.Itfeltnecessarytofindout

againwherethoselimitsmightlie.（铁人三项的乐趣在于我挑战了自己的极限。我们觉得有必要再次找出这些

限制可能在哪里）”可知，作者在铁人三项赛事中找到了乐趣一挑战了自己的极限，由此可知他接受邀请

是希望在BerlinMarathon中再次挑战了自己的极限。故选D项。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段“Finallythetrainingplanbecomessomethingtostopmeworryingwhentheraceseems

toofrightening.（尽管比赛看起来很可怕，但训练计划最终让我不再担心了）”和“ifIfollowit,thenIhave

doneeverythingIcan;ifIdoeverythingIcan,thenIcan飞regretwhatcomesattheend.（如果我遵循它，那么我

已经做了我所能做的一切；如果我做了我能做的一切，那么我就不会后悔最终的结果。）”可推知，作者认

为只要去尝试，就会有收
