外研版（2019）高二英语下学期期末复习 查缺补漏冲刺满分 (名校最新期末真题) 专题08 阅读表达10篇（天津专用） （2022春·天津静海·高二静海一中校考期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Claire Wyatt, a 24-year-old British volunteer, led eight Cambodians living with disabilities on a 155-mile bike ride from Phnom Penh, the nation’s capital, to Siem Reap to raise money and deliver supplies to those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒大流行). “Leading this trip was an incredibly special experience for me,” said Claire. “Not only was I inspired by the determination of each and every rider, but also the team taught me every day not to focus on their disability.” When she was first asked to lead the excursion, Claire admitted, she was feeling nervous about her team traveling such a distance in just a few days, because cycling with a disability can come with added physical and emotional challenges. One team member named Dy, who lost an arm in a landmine (地雷) accident, biked using just one arm to balance. Another named Vulta could only pedal on one side due to paralysis from polio (脊髓灰质炎). Despite all the difficulties, Claire realized quickly that she didn’t have to worry about her team. She saw them deal with rough terrain (不平地形) that she had seen abled cyclists give up on before. The volunteers covered the distance in just four days, not only helping so many people across the country, but also overcoming huge barriers (障碍) to get there. “The best thing about this ride is that the riders have all volunteered their time to do this. They are so passionate about Cambodia and raising money for others in need,” said Claire. “The money raised will feed 99 families in Siem Reap.” Claire recalled her favorite moment of the experience, when one of the cyclists pushed a shattered teammate up a hill for 2 miles. “One moment that stood out for me was when Naret, our only female rider, was feeling tired,” she said. “Her fellow rider gently put his hand on her back and pushed her for 2 miles! They were encouraging each other to push through the tiredness.” 1
