Question

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 1., buy the best-fitting-built running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 2.. As always, you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 3., it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 4.. After two weeks, start timing yourself. 5.. Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.

【解析】这篇短文向读者介绍了马拉松训练之前要做的准备工作，包括跑鞋的挑选和注意事项，也给出了每日训练里程的建议。

1.马拉松训练需要精心准备，且要按照循序渐进的原则增加跑步里程。而空格之后的购买鞋子的事宜也是准备工作的一部分，需要提前做好。故选C。

2.由上句可知，找到合适的鞋子之后穿上几天，以确认一下是否合适。E项承接这一内容，若仍然感觉舒适，跑步时就可以穿上。故选E。

3.由后文“to take a day off to rest”可知，在第一周时，要留出一天的休息时间。因此A项与语境相吻合。故选A。

4.前文谈论的是跑步里程的问题，选项D与此相对应。故选D。

5.空格前面一句说“两周后，开始自己计时。”，而选项G说“现在你已经准备好了一个提高距离和时间的目标”承接上文。故选G。
