    My First Marathon（馬拉松）

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.

The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋帶) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標籤), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.

【分析】

本文為一篇記敍文。講述了自己第一次跑馬拉松，憑藉自己的意志力成功跑完全程的勵志故事。

36．細節理解題。根據文章第一段最後一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead.可知，馬拉松賽前一個月儘管作者腳踝受傷使得訓練時間縮短，但作者仍下定決心參賽。故選C。

37．細節理解題。根據文章第二段I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂可知，作者提到7年級的事情是為了*自己真的沒有運動天賦。故選C。

38．細節理解題。根據文章第10段I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者堅持到了最後，而且得到了一塊獎牌，雖然不是第一名，由此可見他成功地跑完了馬拉松。故選A。

39．主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，作者在講述自己跑馬拉松的經歷，再根據最後一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標籤), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.可知，作者成功跑完馬拉松源於自己的意志。故選B。

點睛：文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細節信息的支持，這些細節對於理解全文內容至關重要，同時也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎。命題人往往會要求考生根據不同的要求閲讀文章，以獲得某些特定的信息，或準確地尋求所需的細節，並對細節進行直接或間接辨認和理解。文章細節的理解可以細化為：（1）一一對應型。（2）語言轉述型。（3）語意理解型。（4）是非辨別型。（5）事實排序型。

此題中的前三題為細節理解題。細節理解題首先要根據題幹準確定位信息句，其次要對信息句進行準確的理解和判斷，如第一題為轉述型，I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二題為語義理解題。根據文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well.可知，作者沒有運動天賦。而第三題則為轉述型，根據信息句I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知，作者跑完了馬拉松，正好與made it 意義相同。
