When I was a teenager, a neighborhood friend 1 a marathon race. Feeling motivated, I started running 2 , but then two things happened. First, a girl I met one day told me she was 3 for a "super," referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon. Then, the next day I went on my longest run—15 miles. To be honest, I 4 it! Between the girl making my 5 seem small and the pure boredom of jogging, I decided that the only 6 I'd ever run again is if a big dog was running after me!
So I 7 cycling. I got a good bike and rode a lot. I 8 of entering cycle races until I flew to San Diego to visit my sister. While she was at work one day, I 9 her bike and went for a ride. The 10 : The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time. I'd never faced such 11 . That day, I got 12 by about 100 "local" bikers who were used to such roads. When I got back home, suddenly riding my bike didn't seem quite as 13 .
I've 14 a lot since then. I've come to accept that whatever 15 I set for myself, they just have to be my own.
1. A. knew　　　　　B. held　　　　　C. won　　　　　D. quit

答案： C
根据下文“I started running”和“Feeling motivated”可推知，一位朋友赢得了一场马拉松比赛，作者因此受到鼓舞。win a race 为固定搭配，意为“赢得比赛”。win 意为“（在比赛、赛跑、选举等中）获胜，赢”，符合语境。know 意为“知道”；hold 意为“举行”；quit 意为“离开；停止”。

2. A. regularly　　　　　B. silently　　　　　C. proudly　　　　　D. recently

答案： A
根据上文“Feeling motivated”并结合选项可知，作者受到激励，开始经常跑步。regularly 意为“经常；有规律地”，符合语境。silently 意为“安静地”；proudly 意为“自豪地”；recently 意为“最近”。

3. A. asking　　　　　B. looking　　　　　C. waiting　　　　　D. training

答案： D
根据设空所在句中的“a girl I met one day told me she was ______ for a 'super,' referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon”可知，作者有一天遇到一个正在为“超级马拉松”训练的女孩。train for 意为“为……训练”，符合语境。ask for 意为“请求，要求”；look for 意为“寻找”；wait for 意为“等待”。

4. A. made　　　　　B. believed　　　　　C. hated　　　　　D. deserved

答案： C
根据上文“the next day I went on my longest run—15 miles”和下文“Between the girl making my ______ seem small and the pure boredom of jogging...”可推知，作者并不喜欢跑步。hate 意为“讨厌”，符合语境。make it 意为“获得成功”；believe 意为“相信”；deserve 意为“值得”。

5. A. advantage　　　　　B. achievement　　　　　C. contribution　　　　　D. influence

答案： B
根据上文“I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements”可知，作者一直因为其他人的成就而变得有动力或失去动力。作者因为一个女孩在为“超级马拉松”训练而延长了自己跑步的距离，然而比起那个女孩的高强度训练，自己跑15英里（约24千米）的成就显得很渺小。此处为原词复现，achievement 意为“成就；成绩”，符合语境。advantage 意为“优势”；contribution 意为“贡献”；influence 意为“影响”。

6. A. way　　　　　B. risk　　　　　C. place　　　　　D. reason

答案： D
根据上文可知，与那个为“超级马拉松”训练的女孩相比，作者的成绩相形见绌，而且跑步很无聊，作者讨厌跑步。根据下文可知，除非当一只大狗追着作者时，作者才会再次开始跑步，这是作者跑步的理由。reason 意为“理由；原因”，符合语境。way 意为“方式”；risk 意为“风险”；place 意为“地点”。

7. A. gave up　　　　　B. went on　　　　　C. turned to　　　　　D. dealt with

答案： C
根据上文语境和空后的“I got a good bike and rode a lot.”可知，作者并不喜欢跑步，所以开始骑行。turn to 意为“改用；求助于”，符合语境。give up 意为“放弃”；go on 意为“继续”；deal with 意为“处理”。
