网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：：
【小题1】 what it meant to me“它（代词it，指后面我要参加校运会的这件事）对我的意义”
【小题2】 practice + doing sth.的用法； 而choose和try 后面要加to do
【小题3】 tired是形容词“累的，疲倦的”，指“当我练习累了的时候”
【小题4】 理解为“随着比赛时间越来越近，我（为自己的状态及训练时的表现）感到了很担心。”
【小题5】 Nervous 是“焦虑”的意思，两者相比较，选意思更符合常识的为佳。

【小题7】pleased形容词，是“（令我）满意的”
【小题8】cheering“欢呼”的意思
【小题9】heated是“（比赛、竞争）激烈的”意思，常以a heated petition的形式出现
【小题10】falling behind“落后于（别人）”的意思，这里可由后面描述“我自己的状态和所在队伍的表现不好“内容推出答案
【小题11】take 接住（队友递过的“接力棒”）
【小题12】But 转折，意思是“接住接力棒后，我脑中一片空白，只有双腿不停地跑、向前冲。”
【小题13】gave out指“快到终点线时，我的双腿跑得太累，几乎没力了。”
【小题14】make sb. to do sth.使得某人做某事，本句意思是“我的意志力迫使我继续向前冲。”
【小题15】cross“冲过”的意思，cross the line是常用搭配
【小题16】At last“最后”的意思
【小题17】weak是形容词，“（能力）弱的”意思
【小题18】respect是名词，“尊重”
【小题19】seem，整句意思是“事情并非总是如它们表面上所看到的那样困难”
