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. [br] What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?
选项 A、She may not be able to be there.
B、She hasn’t thought about it.
C、She is sure to take part in it.
D、She is likely to run again.
答案 D
解析 细节题。根据第一段第一句可知，92岁的哈里特-汤普森说不排除明年还会参加在圣地亚哥举行的摇滚马拉松比赛的可能性，说明有可能参加，选项D(她有可能再次参加)与原文相符。选项A(她可能不能去了)是对她的能力的否定推测，并不是汤普森自己说的。选项B(她没再考虑过)和选项C(她确定去参加)均与原文不符。故答案为D。
