24、段第一句中的 “we were already watching our last runner”可知，救护车跟在最后一名运动员后面。3C根据后文可知，前面的运动员跑得很快，都“消失了”，因此“我”的目光被最后一名的妇女吸引。run跑；separate分开；disappear消失；appear出现，似乎。4B根据后文可知，这位妇女几乎都不能走，所以可以判断她的腿有残疾。5D最后，她成为“我”视线中唯一的一名运动员了。quickly快速地；unluckily不幸地；naturally自然地；finally最后。6C根据上下文可知，她一边以坚定的意志向前“跑”，“我”一边心生敬佩，注视着她。7C根
25、据生活常识可知，人们去那里是为了给运动员加油助威的，所以应是加油助威的人群早已经回家了。cheering意为“喝彩的”。tired疲倦的；waiting等待的；impatient不耐烦的。8B本句是一个倒装句。主语是 “a lone man”，谓语是 “waited”， “standing straight and ever so proud”是伴随状语。9C他紧握着系在一根柱子上的带子的另一端(以便让这位女运动员冲线)。hold意为“握着”，符合句意。10B根据生活常识可知，带子应是系在一根柱子上。keep保持；tie拴，系；connect连接；lead带领。11D根据后文的描述可知，从那一
26、天，那位女运动员成为激励“我”人生的一部分。12D这位妇女参赛的目的不是为击败其他运动员或者获奖。beat sb.意为“打败某人”。follow跟随；hope希望；encourage鼓励。13A她是去完成她所开始的事情。由后面的 “set out (开始)”可知，这里应用 finish。14D当我认为事情太难的时候，我就会想起最后的运动员。15C“我”意识到再难的事也变得容易了。.语法填空Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii.

30、unny考查形容词。修饰名词一般用形容词，故用形容词sunny修饰其后的名词weekends。2buried考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，bury和其逻辑主语“cigarette butts” 构成动宾关系，故用其过去分词形式作宾语补足语。3tourists考查名词。结合定语从句的关系词who可知，此处的先行词为表示人的名词，且定语从句中的谓语动词为复数，故用名词复数形式。4where考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语修饰先行词“the place”，故填where。5but考查连词。根据语境可知，空处前后存在逻辑上的转折关系，故用连词but。6for考查
31、介词。此处考查固定词组be to blame for sth.“对某事负有责任”，故用介词for。7ourselves考查代词。与句子主语we呼应，此处应用反身代词ourselves作动词blame的宾语。8to solve考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式，表目的。9importantly考查副词。副词一般修饰形容词、副词或动词，甚至整个句子，在句子中作状语。故用副词importantly，修饰整个句子。10are damaged考查被动语态。分析句子结构可知， damage和主语“the beaches”之间是被动关系，根据该句中的need可知，此处叙述一般的情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态。
