答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．A;5．D;6．C;7．A;8．B;9．D;10．A;11．C;12．B;13．A;14．D;15．C;16．B;17．A;18．C;19．A;20．D;
解析：

(1)

根據(jù)上下文，前面說過去在4分鐘內進行一英里賽跑是不可能的，接著語氣一轉根據(jù)gradually though…看出這個比賽的時間的所提高民。

(2)

根據(jù)上文，現(xiàn)在在4分鐘內跑完一英里成為有可能了，和前面的impossible呼應。

(3)

一個英格蘭選手，不能選player，游戲者，運動員，指出賽運動員。

(4)

根據(jù)上文，他想突破這個障礙，要在4分鐘內跑完一英里，要向這個目標努力。

(5)

這個目標值得去付出努力

(6)

開始進行一系列的訓練

(7)

allow sb．sth．允許自己休息2分鐘，其他三項明顯意思上和這個語境不符。

(8)

根據(jù)后面的4∶04可以看出這里是61秒

(9)

他似乎無法把時間降到60秒，其他選項意思不符。

(10)

最后他和朋友們去爬山了，從訓練停滯不前的狀況中解脫出來出去散心。

(11)

前面出去爬山當然是他自己做的決定

(12)

cost sb．Sth．使某人花費、付出，這里意思是如果他扭傷踝骨，就會花去好幾個星期的寶貴的訓練時間來治療。

(13)

爬山是在訓練過程中的停歇，所以用brea。作名詞意思是間隙、停歇、短期假日。這個題容易出錯，原因是想不到這個詞作名詞的用法。

(14)

爬山回來后，重新開始訓練

(15)

比賽的日子來臨了

(16)

根據(jù)上問可以看出做出這個決定很不容易，很艱難的決定。

(17)

是去為了這個目標，為了創(chuàng)這個記錄跑，還是等待下一次比賽呢?

(18)

前面說關鍵是天氣不好，刮很大風，影響跑步，所以這里是和天氣有關系，是不是要等到下一次比賽，天氣好點的時候去比賽呢?

(19)

如果等待，那就會失去現(xiàn)在最佳的身體和心理狀態(tài)。

(20)

他成功了，當然是正確的決定了。
