One girl decided to study judo(柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.
“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.
Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee（裁判員） called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干預).
“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”
Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.
On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.
“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”
“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”
The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.

【解析】
試題分析：一個女孩在車禍中失去了左臂，學習柔道時她的教練使她的缺陷變成了她的優勢，最后當上了冠軍。
1.推理判斷題。由本文第一段“…although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.”可知，這個女孩是在車禍中致殘的，因此A選項正確。根據文章中看不出女孩不喜歡柔道，因此B選項不正確。根據第三段和第四段可知女孩只學了一個招式，因此C選項錯誤。從第六段可知女孩贏得前兩場比賽很輕松，因此D選項錯誤。
2.詞義猜測題。根據“This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced.”這句話可知這個女孩很可能會被對手打敗，因此overmatched應意為“擊敗”。
3.推理判斷題。難度中等。根據全文的描寫可以看出，女孩只用一招制勝，原因就是對這唯一招數掌握熟練，運用到位，因此女孩制勝的原因就是她的技巧。選C。
4.主旨大意題。難度較大。文章在結尾處道出子女孩獲勝的因素，一是她對招數掌握熟練，運用自如；二是對此招數的反擊的唯一方法是抓住她的左臂，因此她的弱點變成了她的強項，因此標題"Weakness Becomes Strength”最恰當。選D。

After two classes, I started to recognize several of the faces in each class. There was always someone braver than the others who would introduce themselves and ask me questions about how I was liking Forks. I tried to be diplomatic, so mostly I just lied a lot to appear to be skilled at dealing with people. At least I never needed the map.
One girl sat next to me in both Trig and Spanish, and she walked with me to the cafeteria for lunch. She was tiny, several inches shorter than my five feet four inches, but her wildly curly dark hair made up a lot of the difference between our heights. I couldn't remember her name, so I smiled and nodded as she gossiped about teachers and classes. I didn't try to keep up.
We sat at the end of a full table with several of her friends, who she introduced to me. I forgot all their names as soon as she spoke them. They seemed impressed by her bravery in speaking to me. The boy from English, Eric, waved at me from across the room.
It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them.
They were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long room. There were five of them. They weren't talking, and they weren't eating, though they each had a tray of untouched food in front of them. They weren't staring at me, unlike most of the other students, so it was safe to stare at them without fear of meeting an over interested pair of eyes. But it was none of these things that caught and held my attention.
I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all extremely, inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you never expected to see except perhaps on the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine, or painted by an old master as the face of an angel. It was hard to decide who was the most beautiful -- maybe the perfect blond girl, or the bronze-haired boy.
What does the underlined word “diplomatic” mean?
A. smooth B. clever C. honest D. delight
From the passage, we can infer that _______________.
A. “I” was really liking the new place.
B. “I” was not interested in what the girl said.
C. “I” had a bad memory, so it’s hard to remember names.
D. “I” was good at making friends.
According to the last two paragraphs, why did “they” catch “my” attention?
A. Because “they” weren’t talking.
B. Because “they” sat in the corner.
C. Because “they” didn’t eat the food.
D. Because “they” looked incredibly beautiful.
According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A. The girl walked with “me” was a little short.
B. “I” saw the five students for the first time.
C. Those students sitting in the corner had finished their food.
D. “I” probably wanted to know more about those five students.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
It was the first snow of winter – an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（連指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
51. According to the passage，the little girl got ___________ from her brother.
A. the wool snow pants and the jacket B. the jacket and the boots
C. the jacket and the hat D. the boots and the gloves
52. What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?

C. The wrong size of the boots. D. The unwillingness of the girl.
53．Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C．Because the little girl played a trick on her.
D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
54．We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_________.
A．was losing confidence in the little girl B．gradually lost patience with the little girl
C．because disappointed with the little girl D．was getting bored with the little girl
