五、热点素材阅读理解。
Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager, I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled themselves past.
I saw so many people do it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year, I decided to run in the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 km, I was thinking, "I must be crazy. Why do I do this? What was I thinking about?" And at one moment, I said to myself, "I will never do this again!"
That first 10 km of the race was quite an experience. I struggled through a mix of jogging and walking. At times, I didn't know if I could finish. Near the end, a 70 - year - old man ran past me very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的) because I was more than 50 years younger than him and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up running, and that one day I would be one of those 70 - year - olds who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn't regret(后悔) having such an experience.

What was I thinking about?”可知，作者后悔参加跑步比赛了；根据第五段中“Near the end，a 70-year-old man ran past me very fast，and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的)”可知，看到 70 岁的老人超过自己，作者感到有点儿尴尬；根据第五段中“I decided that I would not give up running”可知，作者会坚持跑步；根据最后一段“As I crossed the finishing line，I was so proud of myself.”可知，冲过终点线后作者感到很骄傲。故选 D。3.

### 五、热点素材阅读理解
回想你生活中尝试新事物的某个时刻。
当我还是个青少年的时候，我自愿在当地的一场比赛中分发水。看到所有不同的跑步者经过并迅速拿起一杯水，我非常兴奋。有些人跑过去，有些人走过去，还有一些人坐着轮椅过去。
我看到很多人都这么做。我想也许我也能做到！第二年，我决定参加这场比赛，但我几乎没有跑步练习。我只是想完成（比赛）。
比赛那天，天气非常炎热。跑了大约5公里后，我在想：“我一定是疯了。我为什么要这么做？我当时是怎么想的？” 有那么一刻，我对自己说：“我再也不会这么做了！”
比赛的前10公里是一段相当特别的经历。我在慢跑和步行的交替中挣扎着前进。有时，我都不知道自己是否能完成（比赛）。快到终点时，一位70岁的老人非常快地从我的身边跑过，我感到有点尴尬，因为我比他年轻50多岁，我甚至跟不上他。但后来我意识到了一些事情。他在跑他的比赛，我在跑我的比赛。在生活中，我们有多少次在真的不应该的时候拿自己和别人比较？我决定我不会放弃跑步，而且总有一天我会成为那些还在跑步的70岁老人中的一员。
当我冲过终点线时，我为自己感到非常骄傲。我并不后悔有这样的一次经历。
