7．This year the marathon in my hometown took place in the hottest month．My job was to follow behind the runners to see if any of them needed medical care．
"We should stay behind the last runner，so take it slowly，"I said to the driver，Bob．
"Let's hope that the last runner is fast!"He laughed．
  Soon the front runners started to disappear，and I saw a woman in a white T-shirt．
"Bob，look!"
  We knew we were already watching our"last runner"．She was different from the others because of her age．
"I think she is over 60，too old for any sports match．How can she finish a marathon？"Bob said．
  We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward．We would move forward a little，then stop and wait for her．Then we would move a little bit more．
  As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other．I found my heart beating for her．I wanted her to stop，but at the same time，I hopped that she wouldn't．
  Soon she was the only runner that we could see．Tears ran down my face．She was so great!For her，it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning something； it was about finishing what she had decided to do．
  Later in my life，when I think things are too difficult，I will think of the woman-the last runner．
  By the way，she did make it to the finish line that day，when the other runners and the cheering crowds had long gone home．
63．According to the passage，what do you think the author might be？C
A．A teacher            B．A policeman
C．A doctor             D．A sportsman
64．From the passage，we know thatB．
A．the author was angry with the last runner
B．the author learned something from the last runner
C．the last runner didn't make it to the finish line in the end
D．some runners gave up during the match
65．Which of the following is true？A
A．The woman was a person with a strong mind．
B．The woman was both disabled and old．
C．The woman was foolish to join in the match．
D．The woman had taken part in marathons many times．
66．What is the best title for the passage？D
A．Beating Others             B．Learning From Others
C．An Exciting Marathon         D．The last runner．

分析 短文講了作者家鄉(xiāng)的馬拉松比賽，作者作為一個醫(yī)護人員看到了一個60多歲的女選手，對她來說，贏得比賽不是最重要的，重要的是她要堅持自己的決定，通過女選手的事給了作者很大的啟示，后來在作者的生命中，當他覺得事情太困難時，他就會想到她的堅持和努力，最后就會成功．

64．B  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二、三段句子 For her，it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning something； it was about finishing what she had decided to do．Later in my life，when I think things are too difficult，I will think of the woman-the last runner．對她來說，這不是關(guān)于打敗其他跑步者或贏得什么，它是關(guān)于完成她的決定．后來在我的生命中，當我覺得事情太困難時，我就會想到她．可知作者從最后一個跑步者身上學到了一些啟發(fā)．故選B．
65．A   細節(jié)判斷題．根據(jù)Soon she was the only runner that we could see．She was so great!For her，it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning something； it was about finishing what she had decided to do．她是唯一我們可以看到的運動員．她是如此偉大!對她來說，這不是關(guān)于打敗其他跑步者或贏得什么；它是關(guān)于完成她的決定．可知這個女人心理很強大．故選A．
66．D   主旨歸納題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容一直在圍繞著最后一名年紀大的跑步者展開，她的堅持，不斷的努力，最后到達了終點．從而也給了作者很大的啟示．可知文章主要講的是最后一個跑步者的事．故選D．

When the time came for the big race，all that practicing really paidoff．I stopped only once and my pace was so much better．
I realized that I'd finally gotten happiness with running．But the funny thing was．It didn't come from doing better，Instead，it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up．
