Though the long-distance runner ______ his previous record last month, his trainer let him ______  its speed as he went around the curve..
A.bettered; slowedB.better ; to slow
C.bettered; slowD.better; slow
C
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。
