Though the long-distance runner ______ his previous record last month, his trainer let him ______  its speed as he went around the curve.．

A．bettered; slowed	B．better ; to slow
C．bettered; slow	D．better; slow

答案

C

解析

考查一词多义。句意“尽管那位长跑运动员上周优化了他以前的记录，当他经过弯道时，他的运动鞋能让他减慢速度。”better作动词用，意为“改善，胜过”。Let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”。故选C。
