D

She almost did not run. Christine Williams admits that now. She could barely put one foot after another following the wake(守靈) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.

Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sister’s wake and her funeral. “I kind of got upset beforehand.” Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “She said my sister would have wanted me to run.” Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.

The accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released.

The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.

The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach,"and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.

Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team didn’t qualify for the nationals, Christine did.

1. What does the underlined sentence in paragragh 2 “Not a chatterbox under normal conditions” mean?

A.She is a person of few words noramlly.

B.She likes chatting under normal conditions.

C.She isn’t under normal conditions.

D. She doesn’t like running while chatting.

2.Christine’s Post team did the following for her EXCEPT ____________.

A. offering car service and flight tickets to Boston.

B. arranging for a substitute for her beforehand.

C. cheering for her during the race.

D. taking care of her food and uniforms.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Christine flew to Boston after her sister’s funeral.

B. Christine’s two sisters were killed in the accident.

C. Christine’s athletic performance stood out in the race.

D. Christine broke the Post record in national meet in Boston.

4.【原創(chuàng)】Put the sentence in the right order.

a. Angela Toscano flew to Boston.

b. Christine run at the regional meet.

c. Christine broke the record.

d. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island.

e. the Post team flew to Boston.
