14.WeaknessA boy lost his left arm in a car accident.When he was 10years old,he decided to study judo(柔道).The boy began lessons (36)with an old Japanese judo coach.The boy was doing well,so he couldn't understand (37)why,after three months of training,the coach had taught him only one action."Sir,"the boy finally said,"shouldn't I be learning more actions?"
"This is the only move you know,but this is the only action you'll ever need to know,"the coach replied.Not quite understanding,(38)but believing in his coach,the boy kept(39)training.
Several months (40)later,the coach took the boy to his first competition.Surprising himself,the boy (41)easily won his first two matches.The third match (42)proved to be difficult,but after some time,his opponent(对手) became impatient and rushed over; the boy quickly used his move to win the match.Still amazed by his(43)success,the boy was now in the finals.
This time,his opponent was bigger,stronger and (44)more experienced.For a while,the boy appeared to be defeated.Being worried that the boy might get hurt,the referee(裁判) called a time-out(暂停).He was about to call a time-out when the coach stopped."No,"the coach cried,"let him (45)continue."
Soon after the match began again,his opponent made a big mistake:he lost his guard.Immediately,the boy used his move to defeat his opponent.The boy had (46)won the match and the competition.He was the champion.
On the way home,the boy and the coach(47)reviewed every move in each and every match.Then the boy showed the courage to ask(48)what was really on his mind,"Sir,how did I win the competition with only one move?"
"You won for (49)two reasons,"the coach answered."First,you've (50)almost mastered one of the most difficult moves in all of judo.And second,the only known defence(防卫)for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm."
The boy's greatest weakness(弱点)had become his greatest strength.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了一个失去左臂的男孩,去一个日本老柔道教练学习柔道,然而几个月下来,教练只交了一个动作,虽然他有疑惑,但是还是听教练的话坚持下来.后来去参加比赛,小男孩居然接二连三地赢了,还进入了决赛、决赛的对手是更加厉害的,在教练的坚持下小男孩继续比赛,终于得到了比赛的冠军.他自己很疑惑,问教练问什么凭他的一个动作可以赢.教练告诉他他学的是所有柔道中最难的一个动作,而对手能够做的防卫就是抓住小男孩的左臂(小男孩没有左臂,所以这招没得破解).
解答 36.C 考查动词的固定用法.Begin lessons with sb.与某人开始上课;begin to 后接do/doing,不能接名词,表开始做某事;begin on是开始从事某事;begin from是从哪里开始;
37.A 考查连词的用法.he couldn't understand 后连接的是宾语从句,the coach had taught him only one action,根据下文可知,小男孩对教练只教了他一个动作有疑惑,故选A.
38.C 考查连词so,or,but,and的用法.这些连词都是用来连接两个简单句子,so表示因此,两个简单句是因果关系;or是或者,选择关系;but是但是,表转折;and是和,又,表并列关系,上文说到小男孩not quite understanding不甚理解,下文却说到他相信教练的话,上下文意思相对,所以用but,表转折.
39.D 考查动词的固定搭配.keep doing sth.继续做某事.根据语境可知,小男孩不是继续问,而是继续练习.
40.A 考查时间副词.Later是之后,过后,前面加一段时间;Ago是以前,以往;for中的一段时间要放在for的后面;away是消失,离开.
41.B 考查副词的用法.The boy won his first two matches 小男孩赢得了前两场比赛,这里是用副词来修饰won,根据上下文可知,前两场赢得较为轻松.
42.A 考查系动词的用法.四个选项都是系动词,Prove to be 证明是;seem/look to be是看起来…;were to be表示过去将来.seems和looks时态是一般现在时,所以也不选,故选A.
43.B 考查形容性物主代词的用法.his是形容性物主动词,后要接名词或是动名词,B D是动词,故不选;根据上下文语境可知,小男孩赢了,故此选B 成功.
44.C 考查形容词比较级.上文里提到对手bigger,stronger and…and是表并列,所以三个形容词比较级并列,experienced表示有经验的,是多音节词,因为要用more来表示比较级.older是更老的,与bigger,stronger是相反的,不不选.
45.B 考查固定搭配.let sb do sth.让某人做某事.由上文可知,教练是要让小男孩继续比赛,故选B.
46.A 考查词义辨析.win是通过努力赢得某事;beat是打败某人,后接sb;break是破坏;defeat sth 是挫败某事,小男孩是赢得了比赛,故选A.
47.D 考查词义辨析跟固定搭配.talk about sth.谈论某事,A搭配错误,不能用talk sth;B错在时态,改成talked about;review有复习,回顾的意思,整篇文章是记叙文,在回家的路上,所以时态是过去式.
48.C 考查代词的用法.句子主语是the boy,谓语showed,宾语the courage勇气,不定式表示目的状语,提取出不定式里的动作ask可知ask后接宾语从句.宾语从句中缺主语,故排除A和B.what表示什么,whatever是任何事情,询问这件事,早就在他的脑海里,故选C.
49.B 由下文的First,and second可知原因总共有两个.
50.D 考查词义辨析.near是附近;never是从不;hardly是几乎不;almost是几乎.由语境可知,小男孩是几乎掌握了所有柔道中最难的一个动作.故选D.
点评 这篇文章是记叙文,应该先掌握文章大意,明确整篇文章的时态,根据上下文跟语境,有针对性地选择最佳的选项,切记脱离文章,胡乱猜测,一定要紧扣语境.
