Question

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（裁判员） 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.

解析试题分析：一个女孩在车祸中失去了左臂，学习柔道时她的教练使她的缺陷变成了她的优势，最后当上了冠军。
【小题1】推理判断题。由本文第一段“…although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.”可知，这个女孩是在车祸中致残的，因此A选项正确。根据文章中看不出女孩不喜欢柔道，因此B选项不正确。根据第三段和第四段可知女孩只学了一个招式，因此C选项错误。从第六段可知女孩赢得前两场比赛很轻松，因此D选项错误。
【小题2】词义猜测题。根据“This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced.”这句话可知这个女孩很可能会被对手打败，因此overmatched应意为“击败”。
【小题3】推理判断题。难度中等。根据全文的描写可以看出，女孩只用一招制胜，原因就是对这唯一招数掌握熟练，运用到位，因此女孩制胜的原因就是她的技巧。选C。
【小题4】主旨大意题。难度较大。文章在结尾处道出子女孩获胜的因素，一是她对招数掌握熟练，运用自如；二是对此招数的反击的唯一方法是抓住她的左臂，因此她的弱点变成了她的强项，因此标题"Weakness Becomes Strength”最恰当。选D。
