Question

【題目】 One afternoon I was cycling and saw a person about 250 meters away in front of me.

I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off (拐彎). I started cycling faster and faster. Two minutes later, I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the speed.

Finally, I caught up with him and passed by. I felt so good.“I beat him!”But after I passed him, I found that I had missed my turn. I had cycled six blocks past it! So I had to go all the way back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to show that we’re more successful? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’ s a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody in front of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well.

【解析】

本文講述了一天下午，作者騎自行車時，看到前面有人在他的前面，就去追那個人，想要超過那個人，但是超過之后，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)錯過了轉(zhuǎn)彎。人們花時間和精力去趕求別人，卻錯過了自己的路。不健康競爭的問題在于它是一個永無止境的循環(huán)，總會有人以這樣或那樣的方式出現(xiàn)在自己面前，人應(yīng)該做的就是跑好自己的比賽，然后祝福別人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. ”可知我看得出他騎自行車比我慢，于是我決定試著趕上他，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“One afternoon I was cycling and saw a person about 250 meters away in front of me.”及“Two minutes later, I was only about 100 meters behind him”可知從原來250米變成現(xiàn)在距離100米，所以是多了150米，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“But after I passed him, I found that I had missed my turn. ”可知但是當(dāng)我超過他之后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我錯過了轉(zhuǎn)彎，故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths.”可知我們花時間和精力去追求他們，卻錯過了自己的路，所以是一個永無止境的循環(huán)，故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一句“What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well.”可知應(yīng)該做的就是跑好自己的比賽，然后祝福別人，故選D。
