Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long
punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.
There is an important lesson in that race.
Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say that it is often hard work.
1. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?
A. It would be hard work.
C. It would be an easy race.
C. It would be a test of his strength.
D. It would be a good learning experience.
答案: B
指导:首先要审清题干,注意题干中的inthebeginning。
本文第一段、第二段中的一些词如energetic,a fine run,running easily,comfortable等都反映出作者开始认为这场比赛不会很难。
