Question

It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn't healed(痊愈)from a(n)1injury. I had 2whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was,3for the 3,000-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed4me. I felt5as I fell farther and farther behind.
"Hooray! "shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps(圈)ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.
"Maybe I should7, "I thought as I moved on.8,I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran9and decided not to10in track next year. It wouldn't be worth it, 11my foot did heal.
When I finished, I heard a cheer--12than the one I'd heard earlier. I turned around and13,the boys were preparing for their race. "They must be cheering for the boys."
I was leaving14several girls came up to me. "Wow, you've got courage! "one of them told me.
"Courage? I just 15a race! "I thought.
"I would have given up on the first lap, "said another girl.
"We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
Suddenly I regained 16. I decided to17track next year. I realized strength and courage aren't always18in medals and victories, but in the19we overcome(战胜). The strongest people are not always the people who win, 20the people who don't give up when

1.C 这里指以前所受的伤，所以用earlier。从下文的“whether or not I should attend the meet"一句话可以推断出运动会还没有举行，脚伤一定是以前受的伤。
2.D 作者的脚伤还没有好，是否参加运动会还犹豫不决，故选doubt表示“犹豫”。
3.C 根据前后文可以看出，作者尽管脚受伤.但她还是作好了3000米长跑的准备。be ready for意思是“为…作好准备”。
4.B后文的“I fell farther and farther behind.”说明别的女孩冲到了她的前面。ahead of意思是“在…的前面”。
5.A 指由于落在了别人的后面而感到惭愧。只有A适合题意。
6.A从前文的“Hooray!”shouted the crowd.一句话可以看出大家在欢呼。
7.B 上文说到第一名的运动员在作者落后两圈时已经冲过终点，所以她产生了退出比赛的想法。drop out退出。
8.D drop out与decide to keeping going是转折关系，所以用however。
9.C 脚伤还没有好，所以比赛时感到了疼痛。in pain 疼痛。
10.C  in track提示了是指赛跑，是说作者明年不想参加赛跑的念头。
11.A 作者在这里认为，即使自己的脚好了，也不值得再参加赛跑。
12.D 这里是修饰cheer，指掌声，所以用louder表示比原先更热烈了。
13.B从后文的“They must be cheering for the boys"说明作者确信他们在为即将比赛的男孩鼓掌。
14.B 这里用when表示“这时”，我正要离开，这时几个女孩朝我走来。
15.D 因为跑在最后，所以作者认为跑步失败。lose a race跑步失败。  
16.B 这里指她受到了同学们的鼓励，重新获得了希望。regain hope意思是“重新获得希望”。   
17.D 有了希望，作者决定明年继续参加比赛。：stick with坚持。
18.A 句子的意思是：力量和勇气不是通过金牌和胜利来衡量的。measure衡量。
