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 (錦標賽). 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 (對手) 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 (釘住) 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 (優點).

小題2:B
小題3:B

試題分析：在這篇短文里，一個缺失了左臂的男孩學柔道，老師一直就教他一個動作。他用這一個動作打贏了很多比賽，并獲得了錦標賽的冠軍。男孩很疑惑，問老師原因。原來這一個動作就是利用了男孩缺失左臂這個優勢來致勝的。
小題1:細節理解題。文章第一句although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.盡管他在一次車禍中喪失了左臂，故選C。
小題2: 判斷推理題。Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”男孩問了他心中一直存在的問題“我怎么能用一招取得勝利呢？”由此可判斷，男孩對于自己最后的勝利感覺驚訝，故選B。
小題3:判斷推理題。從文中內容得知，老師只教男孩一個動作，并用一招取得最后的勝利，就是因為他知道怎么利用男孩缺失左臂這點來取勝的，所以選B，他是個好的老師，因為他了解男孩的優勢和劣勢。
