I’m not athletic and don’t want to be an athlete. In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year, ending up as a 1 .
In 2020, I was in a difficult stage of life and wanted something to fight for. Therefore, though I’d never run even 5 kilometers before, I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon, a 2 where only a small number of people are randomly selected. Somehow, my name was 3 .
I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. But even one kilometer proved too hard, so I adjusted the 4 . I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 5 . I repeated that for months. Besides, I read books, talked to friends and found coaches. Step by step, I became a 6 .
Then the 7 day came when I showed up at the starting line with other competitors. Did I win Certainly not! Did I run 42 kilometers, cross the finishing line joyfully and receive my medal proudly 8 !
Last year I decided to 9 my own business: a performing arts training centre for kids. I’ve always loved kids and arts, but I was 10 of business. Nevertheless, because of the marathon, I had a model for how to 11 it—step by step.
So, again: I read books, talked to friends and found 12 . Through it all, I became a successful entrepreneur. I keep my marathon medal above my desk not to 13 my achievements but to remind myself every big goal can always be 14 into individual steps. When you combine enough steps, you will 15 to the finishing line.

练完形固词汇
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者是如何从最初的不擅长运动,一步一步进行自我锻炼,最终在马拉松比赛中,跑完全程42公里,并获得了奖牌的经历。作者也因此明白了“不积跬步,无以至千里”的道理,最终成为一名成功的企业家。
1.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:例如,在高中时,我参加了一年的足球队,最后成为一名替补队员。storyteller “讲故事的人”; bystander “旁观者”; bench “替补队员”; cheerleader “啦啦队长”。根据上一句“I’m not athletic (我不是运动型的)”可知,作者不擅长运动,所以他在足球队待了一年,最后只能是个替补。故选C。
2.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:因此,虽然我之前从未跑过5公里,但我参加了一个抽签,即随机抽取一小部分人来跑马拉松的过程。process “过程”; progress “进步”; platform “平台”; position “职位;位置”。分析句子可知,空处为“the lottery”的同位语,结合常识可知,抽签是一个抽取所需人员的过程,故空处表示“过程”。故选A。
3.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:不知怎么的,我的名字被抽到了。draw “抽取”; claim “声称”; adopt “采用”; employ “雇佣”。根据上一句的“I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon (我参加了一个跑马拉松的抽签)”和下文“I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. (我认为完成42公里的唯一方法就是从跑一公里开始。)”可知,作者参加了跑马拉松的抽签,开始考虑如何跑完42公里,说明他被抽到了参加马拉松比赛。故选A。
4.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:但即使是一公里也证明太难了,所以我调整了策略。stage “阶段;舞台”; strategy “策略”; standard “标准”; status “地位”。根据上一句“I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. (我认为完成42公里的唯一方法就是从跑一公里开始。)”和下一句“I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 5 . (我一次跑几分钟,然后步行来喘口气。)”可知,作者最初的跑步方法是从跑一公里开始,但因感到吃力,所以调整为一次跑几分钟后步行,说明他调整了跑步策略。故选B。
5.D 考查名词词义辨析。句意:我一次跑几分钟,然后步行来喘口气。attention “注意”; balance “平衡”; energy “能量;精力”; breath “呼吸”。根据上一句“But even one kilometer proved too hard (但即使是一公里也证明太难了)”可知,作者一下子跑一公里感到很吃力,所以他调整了策略,改为一次跑几分钟,然后步行,应该是为了让自己喘口气,休息一下。catch one’s breath “喘口气”。故选D。
6.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意: 一步一步,我成为一名跑步者。walker “步行者”; runner “跑步者”; player “选手”; jumper “跳跃者”。根据前文“I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 5 . I repeated that for months. (我一次跑几分钟,然后步行来喘口气。我重复这种方法好几个月。)”和下文“Then the 7 day came when I showed up at the starting line with other competitors. (然后,当我和其他选手一起出现在起跑线上时,重要的一天到来了。)”可知,作者几个月来不断重复自己练习跑步的方式,最终和其他选手一起参加了比赛。由此可见,他逐渐成为一名跑步者。故选B。
7.C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:然后,当我和其他选手一起出现在起跑线上时,重要的一天到来了。due “到期的”; last “最后的”; big “大的;重要的”; large “大的;广泛的”。根据前文“I repeated that for months. (我重复这样跑了好几个月。)”可知,作者为了这场比赛,训练了好几个月,终于迎来了比赛的日子,这对他来说,应该是非常重要的一天。big day “重要的日子”。故选C。
8.D 考查副词词义辨析。句意:我跑了42公里,高兴地冲过终点线,自豪地得到奖牌了吗 绝对地! regularly “定期地”; entirely “完全地”; necessarily “必要地”; absolutely “绝对地”。根据最后一段“I keep my marathon medal above my desk (我把我的马拉松奖牌放在桌子上方)”可知,作者最终冲过了终点,非常自豪地赢得了奖牌,这是非常确定地。故选D。
9.B 考查动词词义辨析。句意:去年我决定建立自己的事业:一个儿童表演艺术培训中心。distinguish “区分”; establish “成立;建立”; prevent “阻止”; explore “探索”。根据下文“Through it all, I became a successful entrepreneur. (经过这一切,我成为了一名成功的企业家。)”可知,作者成为了一名成功的企业家,说明他拥有自己的事业,故去年他应该是决定建立自己的事业。故选B。
10.A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我一直喜欢孩子和艺术,但我对生意一无所知。ignorant “无知的;不了解的”; aware “知道的;意识到的”; short “缺少的”; capable “有能力的”。根据前文“Last year I decided to 9 my own business (去年我决定建立自己的事业)”和本句中的转折词“but”可知,作者虽然决定建立自己的事业,但是他应该并不懂得如何做生意。故选A。
11.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意:然而,因为这次马拉松,我有了一个如何一步一步应对它的例子。relieve “缓解”; promote “促进;促销”; arrange “安排”; approach “处理;对付”。根据第三、四段内容和其中“Step by step, I became a 6 . (一步一步,我成为一名跑步者。)”可知,作者从一开始跑一公里都感到吃力,到后来用自己的方法,一步一步地成为一名跑步者,跑完了马拉松的全程42公里,并获得了奖牌,说明作者找到了应对它的方法——一步一步地进行,这也成为他学做生意的例子。故选D。
12.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:所以,再一次:我看书,和朋友聊天,找教练。colleague “同事”; coach “教练”; competitor “竞争者”; cooperator “合作者”。根据第三段中“Besides, I read books, talked to friends and found coaches. (此外,我看书,和朋友聊天,找教练。)”和本句中的“again”可知,作者再一次地看书,和朋友聊天,找教练。故选B。
13.A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:我把我的马拉松奖牌放在桌子上,不是为了炫耀我的成就,而是为了提醒自己,每个大目标都可以分解成一个个的步骤。show off “炫耀”; pay off “取得成功”; call off “取消”; put off “推迟”。根据句中“I keep my marathon medal above my desk”和“but to remind myself ...”和常识可知,很多人把奖牌放在桌子上是为了向别人炫耀自己获得的成就,而作者却是为了提醒自己每个大目标都可以分解成一个个的步骤。故选A。
14.C 考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。boil down “浓缩”; come down “下来;降低”; break down “分解”; tear down “拆除”。根据句中“every big goal”和“individual steps”和前文“Nevertheless, because of the marathon, I had a model for how to 11 it—step by step. (然而,因为马拉松,我有了一个如何一步一步应对它的例子。)”可知,作者通过马拉松,懂得要实现一个大目标,就要一步一步来应对,也就是要把每个大的目标分解成一个一个的步骤来进行。故选C。
15.D 考查动词短语辨析。句意: 当你把足够多的步骤结合起来,你就会到达终点线。get it “理解;明白”; take it “开始做某事”; name it “命名”; make it “成功;达到目标”。根据前文“Did I run 42 kilometers, cross the finishing line joyfully and receive my medal proudly 8 ! (我跑了42公里,高兴地冲过终点线,自豪地得到奖牌了吗 绝对地!)”和“Through it all, I became a successful entrepreneur. (经过这一切,我成为一名成功的企业家。)”可知,作者通过做好每一步,最终到达了终点,获得了成功。故选D。 (共39张PPT)

答案与解析
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者是如何从最初的不擅长运动,一步一步进行自我锻炼,最终在马拉松比赛中,跑完全程42公里,并获得了奖牌的经历。作者也因此明白了“不积跬步,无以至千里”的道理,最终成为一名成功的企业家。
1.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:例如,在高中时,我参加了一年的足球队,最后成为一名替补队员。storyteller “讲故事的人”; bystander “旁观者”; bench “替补队员”; cheerleader “啦啦队 长”。根据上一句“I’m not athletic (我不是运动型的)”可知,作者不擅长运动,所以他在足球队待了一年,最后只能是个替补。故 选C。
答案与解析
2.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:因此,虽然我之前从未跑过5公里,但我参加了一个抽签,即随机抽取一小部分人来跑马拉松的过程。process “过程”; progress “进步”; platform “平台”; position “职位;位置”。分析句子可知,空处为“the lottery”的同位语,结合常识可知,抽签是一个抽取所需人员的过程,故空处表示“过程”。故选A。
答案与解析
3.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:不知怎么的,我的名字被抽到 了。draw “抽取”; claim “声称”; adopt “采用”; employ “雇 佣”。根据上一句的“I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon (我参加了一个跑马拉松的抽签)”和下文“I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. (我认为完成42公里的唯一方法就是从跑一公里开始。)”可知,作者参加了跑马拉松的抽签,开始考虑如何跑完42公里,说明他被抽到了参加马拉松比赛。故选A。
答案与解析
4.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:但即使是一公里也证明太难了,所以我调整了策略。stage “阶段;舞台”; strategy “策略”; standard “标准”; status “地位”。根据上一句“I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. (我认为完成42公里的唯一方法就是从跑一公里开始。)”和下一句“I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 5 . (我一次跑几分钟,然后步行来喘口气。)”可知,作者最初的跑步方法是从跑一公里开始,但因感到吃力,所以调整为一次跑几分钟后步行,说明他调整了跑步策略。故选B。
