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.
What did Thompson mainly do in that difficult year?
选项
A、She took care of her husband.
B、She hurt her leg and had to rest.
C、She received some new training.
D、She traveled around with her family.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据第一段第三句可知,汤普森的丈夫病得很重,有时候必须陪着他。在她丈夫去世后,她又接受了腿部治疗。选项A(她照顾自己的丈夫)是她主要做的事情.符合原文意思。选项B(她伤了腿,必须休息)与原文不符,文中只提到了她的腿需要治疗。选项C(她接受了一些新的训练)和选项D(她和家人去旅游了)文中未提及。故答案为A。
