Question

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

　　The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.

　　“Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “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,” his teacher replied.

　　Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.

　　This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.

　　“No,” the teacher insisted, “let him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.

　　On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.

　　“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”

　　“You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

　　The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (优点).

【解析】

试题分析：在这篇短文里，一个缺失了左臂的男孩学柔道，老师一直就教他一个动作。他用这一个动作打赢了很多比赛，并获得了锦标赛的冠军。男孩很疑惑，问老师原因。原来这一个动作就是利用了男孩缺失左臂这个优势来致胜的。

1.细节理解题。文章第一句although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.尽管他在一次车祸中丧失了左臂，故选C。

2. 判断推理题。Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”男孩问了他心中一直存在的问题“我怎么能用一招取得胜利呢？”由此可判断，男孩对于自己最后的胜利感觉惊讶，故选B。

3.判断推理题。从文中内容得知，老师只教男孩一个动作，并用一招取得最后的胜利，就是因为他知道怎么利用男孩缺失左臂这点来取胜的，所以选B，他是个好的老师，因为他了解男孩的优势和劣势。
