【题目】 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.”

【1】
细节理解题。根据第一段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因骑马意外在骑马时摔断了脊背，她通过多项活动为慈善事业筹集了超过57.5万英镑的善款，并成为第一个穿着ReWalk Suit——一种能够行走的机械外骨骼完成马拉松比赛的人。由此可知，Claire Lomas穿着一套特别的衣服参加了比赛。故选C。
【2】
细节理解题。根据第四段中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说，这是她第一次不间断的长跑，这意味着她是否能完成比赛“有点不确定”……由此可知，Claire Lomas对比赛的结果感到不确定。故选D。
【3】
词义猜测题。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可知当Lomas回想起最初的一两年，她希望有人能告诉未来会是什么样子——那时候，一切都是那么绝望，有那么多黑暗的日子。Lomas刚受伤那一两年一切对她来说都是绝望的，故划线单词意思是“绝望的，没有希望的”。A. Special.特别的；B. Hopeless.绝望的，没有希望的；C. Interesting.有趣的；D. Unnecessary.不必要的。故选B。
【4】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中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.可知当我回想起最初的一两年，我希望有人能告诉我未来会是什么样子——那时候，一切都是那么绝望，有那么多黑暗的日子。我强迫自己抓住小机会，然后它们就会引导我走向更大的目标。它采取了很多小的步骤来达到这个目标。结合文章主要记叙了Claire Lomas在一次骑马比赛中，意外摔断了脊背，她穿着一个能让她行走的机械外骨骼完成了马拉松比赛，她抓住一些小机会，换来了成功。我们可以得出，在最苦难的日子里，只要自己努力积极乐观，总会有好的事情发生，故D选项“黑暗中总有一线光明”是我们能从Claire Lomas的经历中学到的。故选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 (爱好者) 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.
