问题    A new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may not stand for more than a year: Harriette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn’ t ruled out running the Rock’ n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in 7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult year between marathons. "I couldn’ t train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg, " Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, tells the AP. " I was just really thrilled that I could finish today. "
   At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon. "I can’t believe I made it, " Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 21, I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain, and I was thinking, ’ This is sort of crazy at my age. I can’ t do it’. But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates (碳水化合物) that kept me going. " Thompson—whose parents, three brothers, and husband all died of cancer—tells the Observer that the San Diego marathon ’ s fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.
When did Thompson set her first over-90 marathon record?
选项 A、In 2010.
B、In 2012.
C、In 2014.
D、In 2016.
答案C
解析 细节题。根据第一段第二句可知，90岁以上小组7个小时7分钟42秒的记录是汤普森在2014年的时候创下的，故答案为C。选项A(2010年)、选项B(2012年)和选项D(2016年)均与原文不符。
