阅读理解词义猜测题专练(四)　句意猜测类 A (2017·山西省省际名校联考) This time last year I entered two long-distance mass-participation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last. Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldnt deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last in both. I just couldnt face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again. For a few months, I trained hard, but I didnt get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9：30 a．m., and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone. Meadows (草地) rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water. As the day wore on, somehow I didnt mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing. I realized I was enjoying myself. In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after Id started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走) out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didnt matter. I_was_just_relieved,_proud_and_happy_to_finish. As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding (渐渐远去)． 体裁：记叙文　题材：个人经历　主题：克服最后一名的恐惧 【语篇导读】　作者通过描述自己参加
