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.

选项 A、ran faster than last time
B、once considered giving up
C、was confident she could make it
D、could hardly move in the end
答案 B
解析 细节题。根据第一段第二句中两个时间的对比可知，今年比上次的记录用时长，说明跑得慢了，选项A(比上次跑得快)错误。根据第二段第三句可知，有那么一刻，她真的很累，觉得自己做不到，选项B(曾想放弃)符合文意。根据第二段第二句可知，她不敢相信她做到了，选项C(确信她能做到)错误。选项D(到最后她几乎不能动了)文中未提及。故答案为B。
