    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 called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干预).

    “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.

    1.What can we learn about the girl?

    A．She was disabled in an accident.            B．She disliked judo training.

    C．She learnt several moves.                 D．She won the first two matches hard.

    2.The underlined word “overmatched” probably means       .

    3.The girl won the championship because of       .

    A．her bravery        B．her skills          C．her tricks          D．her strength

    4.Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?

    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:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
    阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    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（连指手套）?”
    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?
    A. The gloves in the toes of the boots.       B. The slowness of the teacher. 
    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
