Derek Redmond's Olympic Moment
The 1992 Barcelona Olympics will always be remembered for many great moments, but few are as touching as the story of Derek Redmond, a British 400-metre runner.
On 3 August 1992, Derek stood at the starting line of the men's 400m semi-final. He had trained for six years for this moment. As the race began, he felt confident. But halfway through, disaster struck — a sharp pain shot through his right hamstring. He collapsed to the track, crying out in agony.
The medical team rushed to his side. "My career is over," Derek whispered, tears streaming down his face. The doctors advised him to withdraw, but Derek had other ideas. He stood up, his leg trembling with pain, and began to limp towards the finish line.
The crowd fell silent, then erupted into applause. Derek's father, Jim Redmond, ran from the stands onto the track to support his son. Together, they walked the final 100 metres, with Derek leaning on his father's shoulder. When they finally crossed the finish line, the entire stadium rose to their feet in a standing ovation.
Derek never won an Olympic medal, but he won something far more precious — the hearts of millions. His story has become a symbol of the Olympic spirit: it is not about winning, but about never giving up.

Stephen Hawking: Beyond the Wheelchair
Stephen Hawking (1942–2018) was one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. Born in Oxford, England, he showed an early interest in science. At 17, he entered the University of Oxford to study physics. Soon after his 21st birthday, however, he was diagnosed with a rare motor neuron disease that would gradually rob him of the ability to move and speak.
Doctors gave him only a few years to live. But Hawking refused to accept this fate. As his condition worsened, he began using a walking stick, then a wheelchair, and eventually a computer to communicate. Throughout it all, he stayed surprisingly positive and optimistic. "Although I cannot move and have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free," he once said.
Hawking continued his research and produced groundbreaking work on black holes and the origin of the universe. His book A Brief History of Time became a global bestseller, translated into more than 30 languages. When he died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world lost not only a brilliant scientist, but also a symbol of human courage.
Hawking's story reminds us that our limitations do not define us. With a strong will and determination, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness. As he famously said, "It matters that you don't just give up."
38. What was Hawking's major at the University of Oxford?
A. Medicine B. Physics C. Mathematics D. Philosophy

C. Hawking's courage in the face of adversity
D. A review of A Brief History of Time
【答案】C
【解析】主旨题,文章兼顾科研成就,核心赞美霍金逆境中不屈的勇气。
41. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Hawking's courage is as important as his scientific work
B. Hawking's disease made him famous
C. Hawking wrote books only for scientists
D. Hawking never needed help from others
【答案】A
【解析】推理题,文末点明他不仅是伟大科学家,更是人类勇气的象征,说明精神与成就同等重要。
D(共 4 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 8 分)
Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is often seen as something to be avoided at all costs. Students are afraid of low marks. Athletes fear losing a match. But is failure really that bad?
Many successful people have failed many times before they achieved greatness. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, failed thousands of times before he found the right material. When asked about his failures, he said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His positive attitude towards failure is what made him successful in the end.
J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was rejected by twelve publishers before one finally accepted her book. She was poor and struggling, but she never gave up. Today, she is one of the most successful writers in history.
These stories show that failure is not the opposite of success — it is part of success. The key is to learn from mistakes and keep going. However, this does not mean we should not try our best. It means we should not be afraid of failing. As the saying goes, "Fall seven times, stand up eight." So the next time you fail, remember: it is just one step closer to success.
42. According to the passage, what do many students fear?
A. Taking exams B. Getting low marks
C. Studying too hard D. Being late for school
【答案】B
【解析】细节题,原文 “Students are afraid of low marks”。
43. What did Thomas Edison say about his failures?
A. He was sad about them
B. He gave up after thousands of tries
C. He saw them as ways that didn't work
D. He thought failure was the end of everything
【答案】C
【解析】细节题,爱迪生认为自己只是找到了一万种行不通的方法,不算失败。
44. How many publishers rejected J.K. Rowling's book?
A. 10 B. 11 C. 13 D. 12
【答案】D
【解析】细节题,原文 “rejected by twelve publishers”。
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Failure is part of success if we keep trying
B. Failure is always a bad thing
C. Only famous people experience failure
D. We should avoid failure at all costs
【答案】A
【解析】主旨题,失败不是成功的对立面,而是成功的必经之路,坚持就能抵达目标。

Derek Redmond's Olympic Moment
The 1992 Barcelona Olympics will always be remembered for many great moments, but few are as touching as the story of Derek Redmond, a British 400-metre runner.
On 3 August 1992, Derek stood at the starting line of the men's 400m semi-final. He had trained for six years for this moment. As the race began, he felt confident. But halfway through, disaster struck — a sharp pain shot through his right hamstring. He collapsed to the track, crying out in agony.
The medical team rushed to his side. "My career is over," Derek whispered, tears streaming down his face. The doctors advised him to withdraw, but Derek had other ideas. He stood up, his leg trembling with pain, and began to limp towards the finish line.
The crowd fell silent, then erupted into applause. Derek's father, Jim Redmond, ran from the stands onto the track to support his son. Together, they walked the final 100 metres, with Derek leaning on his father's shoulder. When they finally crossed the finish line, the entire stadium rose to their feet in a standing ovation.
Derek never won an Olympic medal, but he won something far more precious — the hearts of millions. His story has become a symbol of the Olympic spirit: it is not about winning, but about never giving up.

Stephen Hawking: Beyond the Wheelchair
Stephen Hawking (1942–2018) was one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. Born in Oxford, England, he showed an early interest in science. At 17, he entered the University of Oxford to study physics. Soon after his 21st birthday, however, he was diagnosed with a rare motor neuron disease that would gradually rob him of the ability to move and speak.
Doctors gave him only a few years to live. But Hawking refused to accept this fate. As his condition worsened, he began using a walking stick, then a wheelchair, and eventually a computer to communicate. Throughout it all, he stayed surprisingly positive and optimistic. "Although I cannot move and have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free," he once said.
Hawking continued his research and produced groundbreaking work on black holes and the origin of the universe. His book A Brief History of Time became a global bestseller, translated into more than 30 languages. When he died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world lost not only a brilliant scientist, but also a symbol of human courage.
Hawking's story reminds us that our limitations do not define us. With a strong will and determination, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness. As he famously said, "It matters that you don't just give up."
38. What was Hawking's major at the University of Oxford?
A. Medicine B. Physics C. Mathematics D. Philosophy
39. How did Hawking communicate with others in his later years?
A. Through sign language B. Through an interpreter
C. Through written notes D. Through a computer
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Hawking's scientific achievements
B. The history of motor neuron disease
C. Hawking's courage in the face of adversity
D. A review of A Brief History of Time
41. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Hawking's courage is as important as his scientific work
B. Hawking's disease made him famous
C. Hawking wrote books only for scientists
D. Hawking never needed help from others

Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is often seen as something to be avoided at all costs. Students are afraid of low marks. Athletes fear losing a match. But is failure really that bad?
Many successful people have failed many times before they achieved greatness. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, failed thousands of times before he found the right material. When asked about his failures, he said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His positive attitude towards failure is what made him successful in the end.
J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was rejected by twelve publishers before one finally accepted her book. She was poor and struggling, but she never gave up. Today, she is one of the most successful writers in history.
These stories show that failure is not the opposite of success — it is part of success. The key is to learn from mistakes and keep going. However, this does not mean we should not try our best.
