本题主要考查介词的用法以及固定搭配。对于第一个空,需要选择一个介词来描述“shouts”和“people nearby”之间的关系。选项中的“from”表示来源,符合“来自附近人的呼喊声”这一语境;而“at”通常表示具体的位置或目标,不符合此处的语境。对于第二个空,需要选择一个介词来与“fire”搭配,表示“着火”的状态。在英语中,“on fire”是一个固定搭配,表示“着火”,而“in fire”则没有这样的用法。

五、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 in 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 past.
I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for 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 did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I will never do this again!”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, and I jogged and walked. 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) that 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 to others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up, and 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.

( )2. How did the writer's feeling change during the race?
①He decided to keep on running. ②He felt very proud of himself.
③He was kind of embarrassed. ④He regretted joining in the race.
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ②→③→④→①
C. ③→①→④→② D. ④→③→①→②
( )3. What did the writer try to tell us?
A. We should volunteer as teenagers. B. We should cheer up for old people.
C. We should run our own race in life. D. We should try our best to be No. 1.
