正式训练马拉松。11月1日上午，我和其他4万多名跑步者站在史丹顿岛的维拉萨诺大桥上，等待比赛开

始。）”可知，作者在维拉萨诺大桥上开始马拉松比赛。故选C。

乎很容易。于是我开始跑步。）”及最后一段uItwasunbelievabletohavetheaudiencecheeringmeon,handing

以置信。我越过了终点线。我的朋友用啤酒喷我，好像我赢得了超级碗。那一刻，我知道：如果我下定决

心做某事，没有什么是不可能的。）”可知，作者为了减肥，开始坚持步行，跑步及跑马拉松。经过不断地

努力和坚持，作者减肥成功，最终成功跑完马拉松。故推知本文想告诉我们：有志者，事竟成。故选A。

人士所做的事情：用简单的词语和表达，以每个人都能理解的方式说话。他们无意识地使用不必要的混淆

词汇，这使得语言难以理解）”可知，D选项^Nativespeakers*useofconfusingexpressions（母语人士使用令

人困惑的表达）”与之相符，故选D项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段第一句"Ionlyrealizedthat'complaints,herereferstosymptomsIhaveafterIspoketomy

具包容性。这意味着不再有令人困惑的表达。像这样的小变化可能会让母语人士加入到与非母语人士的对

话中）”可知，Hansen建议使用非母语人士可以理解的表达，故选D项。

means"pleasedowhatneedstobedone,"hasbeenanenjoyablethingforHarb（发现它并想知道这个表达的起源,

推理判断题。根据第五段中Banner说的话“Howcantheyprovesomethingismoreorlessbeautiful?（他们怎么

能证明什么东西更美或更不美呢）"及"Therecanneverbeasinglestandardofbeautybecausesomuchofitis

wasstruckbyhowdifferentshelooked.（MarlinaEckstut的照片为本文做了美化，她说，她被自己看起来的不同
