【題目】 Claire Lomas, who broke her back in horse-riding accident, has raised over ￡575,000 for charity through a number of events, and became the first person to complete a marathon in her ReWalk Suit—a robotic exoskeleton that enables her to walk.
In her latest challenge, Lomas continued throughout the day and night without sleep to walk the race in Portsmouth with the aid of the suit and pair of crutches.
She was met with cheers and applause as she crossed the line, having posted regular updates on Twitter as she battled wind and rain.
Lomas said the fact that this was her first long-distance race without stopping meant “it was a little bit unknown” whether she could finish, and added that she was “really grateful to everyone that supported me... I had a few tears.”
At the halfway stage, Lomas remained in high spirits and posted video of herself singing Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer. And she showed the exhausting effects of the race with a mile to go when she tweeted: “Help me get to the last mile as I’m so tired.”
Her effort has so far raised more than ￡4,000 for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation. After collecting her award, she said, “My accident was 10 years ago in May. When I think back to that first year or two I would have loved for someone to tell me what the future had in store—back then, everything felt so bleak with so many dark days. I forced myself to take small opportunities and they have led on to bigger things. It has taken a lot of small little steps to get here.”

這是一篇記敘文。主要記敘了Claire Lomas在一次騎馬比賽中，意外摔斷了脊背，她穿著一個能讓她行走的機械外骨骼完成了馬拉松比賽，她抓住一些小機會，換來了成功。
【1】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段Claire Lomas, who broke her back in horse-riding accident, has raised over ￡575,000 for charity through a number of events, and became the first person to complete a marathon in her ReWalk Suit—a robotic exoskeleton that enables her to walk.可知Claire Lomas因騎馬意外在騎馬時摔斷了脊背，她通過多項活動為慈善事業(yè)籌集了超過57.5萬英鎊的善款，并成為第一個穿著ReWalk Suit——一種能夠行走的機械外骨骼完成馬拉松比賽的人。由此可知，Claire Lomas穿著一套特別的衣服參加了比賽。故選C。
【2】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中Lomas said the fact that this was her first long-distance race without stopping meant “it was a little bit unknown” whether she could finish …可知Lomas說，這是她第一次不間斷的長跑，這意味著她是否能完成比賽“有點不確定”……由此可知，Claire Lomas對比賽的結果感到不確定。故選D。
【3】
詞義猜測題。上文My accident was 10 years ago in May. When I think back to that first year or two I would have loved for someone to tell me what the future had in store—back then, everything felt so可知當Lomas回想起最初的一兩年，她希望有人能告訴未來會是什么樣子——那時候，一切都是那么絕望，有那么多黑暗的日子。Lomas剛受傷那一兩年一切對她來說都是絕望的，故劃線單詞意思是“絕望的，沒有希望的”。A. Special.特別的；B. Hopeless.絕望的，沒有希望的；C. Interesting.有趣的；D. Unnecessary.不必要的。故選B。
【4】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中When I think back to that first year or two I would have loved for someone to tell me what the future had in store—back then, everything felt so bleak with so many dark days. I forced myself to take small opportunities and they have led on to bigger things. It has taken a lot of small little steps to get here.可知當我回想起最初的一兩年，我希望有人能告訴我未來會是什么樣子——那時候，一切都是那么絕望，有那么多黑暗的日子。我強迫自己抓住小機會，然后它們就會引導我走向更大的目標。它采取了很多小的步驟來達到這個目標。結合文章主要記敘了Claire Lomas在一次騎馬比賽中，意外摔斷了脊背，她穿著一個能讓她行走的機械外骨骼完成了馬拉松比賽，她抓住一些小機會，換來了成功。我們可以得出，在最苦難的日子里，只要自己努力積極樂觀，總會有好的事情發(fā)生，故D選項“黑暗中總有一線光明”是我們能從Claire Lomas的經歷中學到的。故選D。

On Knowing the Difference
It is as though we can know nothing of a thing until we know its name. Can we be said to know what a pigeon is unless we know that it is a pigeon? We may have seen it again and again, and noted it as a bird with a full bosom and swift wings. But if we are not able to name it except vaguely as a “bird”, we seem to be separated from it by a vast distance of ignorance. Learn that it is a pigeon however, and immediately it rushes towards us across the distance, like something seen through a telescope. No doubt to the pigeon fancier (愛好者) this would seem but the most basic knowledge, and he would not think much of our acquaintance with pigeons if we could not tell a carrier from a pouter. That is the charm (魅力) of knowledge—it is merely a door into another sort of ignorance.
There are always new differences to be discovered, new names to be learned, new individualities to be known, new classifications to be made. No man with a grain of either poetry or the scientific spirit in him has any right to be bored with the world, though he lived for a thousand years.
There is scarcely a subject that does not contain sufficient differences to keep an explorer happy for a lifetime. It is said that thirteen thousand species of butterflies have already been discovered, and it is suggested that there may be nearly twice as many that have so far escaped the naturalists Many men give all the pleasant hours of their lives to learning how to know the difference between one kind of moth (蛾) and another. One used to see these moth-hunters on windless nights chasing their quarry fantastically with nets in the light of lamps. In chasing moths, they chase knowledge. This, they feel, is life at its most exciting, its most intense.
The townsman passing a field of sheep finds it difficult to believe that the shepherd can distinguish between one and another of them with as much certainty as if they were his children. And do not most of us think of foreigners as beings who are all turned out as if on a pattern, like sheep?
Thus our first generalizations spring from ignorance rather than from knowledge. They are true, as long as we know that they are not entirely true. As soon as we begin to accept them as absolute truths, they become lies. I do not wish to deny the importance of generalizations. It is not possible to think or even to act without them. The generalization that is founded on a knowledge of and a delight in the variety of things is the end of all science and poetry.
