[2021·长春模拟]As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.
“As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners，” he said. “Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment.” As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.
Kindleysides, who is paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton (体外骨骼) to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.
In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the Londonbased singer and dancer had “always wanted to run a marathon，” he said, but he never made the plan to do so—until this year.
During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. “At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally，” Kindleysides said. But he kept going. “I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity，” he said. “I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue.”So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.
Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. “They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon，” he said.
Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.
1．Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?
A．To inspire him as a team.
B．To help change the batteries.
C．To guide him along the road.
D．To assist him with the wheelchair.
2．What caused Kindleysides' disability?
A．An accident in the previous marathon.
B．An operation on his brain for the tumor.
C．Some nerves produced out of the tumor.
D．The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.
3．What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest twomile race?
A．The belief to beat others.
B．The strong desire to recover.
C．The kindness to help the charity.
D．The prize money for the winner.
4．What can we learn about Kindleysides?
A．He was once a successful actor.
B．His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.
C．He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.
D．He was the first disabledman to complete the London Marathon.

1．B 细节理解题。第三段最后一句“His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.”可知他的队友一直跟着他是为了帮助他更换维持体外骨骼运动所需要的电池，故选B。
2．D 细节理解题。第四段第一句“In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs.”可知造成Kindleysides腿部残疾的原因是脑部肿瘤压迫了脑神经，故选D。
3．C 细节理解题。第五段第三句“But he kept going. ‘I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity，’ he said.”可知支撑着Kindleysides完成最后艰难的两英里的原因之一就是他在为慈善机构筹款的善心，故选C。
4．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.”可知Kindleysides渴望再次参加伦敦马拉松比赛，故选C。
