第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A.

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take，for example，the story of one 10－year－old boy who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well，so he couldn't understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move.

“Sensei，” the boy 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 sensei replied.

Not quite understanding，but believing in his teacher，the boy kept training. Several months later，the sensei took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛，联赛)．Surprising himself，the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult，but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged；the boy deftly(熟练地) used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success，the boy was now in the finals.

This time，his opponent was bigger，stronger，and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be defeated. Concerned that the boy might get hurt，the referee called a time out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. “No，” the sensei insisted，“let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed，his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly，the boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home，the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei，how did I win the tournament with only one move? ”“You won for two reasons，” the sensei 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 boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

21．What's the best title of the passage?

A．No pains no gains. B．Weakness can become strength.

C．Where there is a will there is a way. D．A great judo master.

22．According to the second paragraph the boy was ______ with his teacher.

A．satisfied B．pleased C．unsatisfied D．careful

23．Why did the referee call a timeout in the finals?

A．Because he thought the boy would be the loser definitely.

B．Because he thought the boy would give up.

C．Because he dropped his guard.

D．Because he was experienced.

24．In the last paragraph the author wanted to tell us ______．

A．who was the champion

B．the reason why the boy won every match

C．the sensei was very excellent

D．the boy was very courageous

An American woman Anna Jarvis was the first person to decide the mothers should have a holiday in their honor each year. Miss Jarvis started her campaign in 1906 in her home city Philadelphia. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen(国会议员), city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers, proposing an official holiday for mothers. She traveled all over America, trying to get support for the idea. Her battle went on for years.

In 1914, the Congress declared the second Sunday in May each year as Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis wanted Mother's Day to be a simple event. She thought children could honor their mothers by spending some time with them as an act of love and respect. However, the holiday turned out to be a major event for department stores, flower shops and greeting-card industry, which Miss Jarvis didn't like.

Americans spend millions of dollars on gifts for their mothers on this day. Younger children often try to prepare and serve breakfast for their mothers. Fathers may offer to take care of children so that mothers can enjoy themselves. The holiday becomes an important time for family gathering.

25. What can be inferred from the text is that ________.

A. the Congress didn't accept Anna's suggestion until the whole country supported her

B. the battle lasted 8 years

C. Jarvis didn't enjoy the usual way Americans spend Mother's Day

D. Mother's Day is an important day for Americans

26. Miss Jarvis proposed Mother's Day in order that people could show their love and respect to their mothers ________.

A. by spending some time with them B. by offering them precious gifts

C. by eating in restaurants together D. by taking children for them

27. On Mother's Day ________.

A. all women, young and old, receive gifts B. families gather together

C. all people stay at home D. no one goes to work

28.. Miss Jarvis proposed Mother's Day, but she didn't like ________.

A. flower shops selling flowers

B. department stores earning money from greeting-cards

C. greeting-card industry

D. the way people spend Mother's Day

C.

Have you wondered about the amount of time we spend talking about food and been surprised? We are always asking questions such as “Have you ever eaten？” and “What did you have for lunch？”Yet, if you travel from one country to another, you might find that other nations think differently about food. People plan to think that what they eat is normal and what everyone else eats is strange. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice but in England, rice is the exception and people prefer to eat potatoes, in the Middle East, bread accompanies every meal.

Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit that is difficult to change. The Americans seem to like drinking lots of orange juice and coffee; the English prefer to drink tea four or five times a day; the Australians prefer to drink a lot of beer; the French, like wine every day.

People in different countries also like eating different kinds of meat and even within countries, different regions will have different likes and dislikes, especially in large countries like China and the former Soviet Union. In Hong Kong and the south of China, some people enjoy eating snakes but in the north of China, most people refuse to eat them. The French think that horse meat is delicious but most English people are terrified at the thought of eating it. The New Zealanders eat a lot of lamb and mutton, but never goat. The Japanese say that they do not like eating lamb and mutton because of their smell, but that they really enjoy eating raw fish more than anything else.

So it seems that there is often very little common sense about what is nicest to eat or drink in different parts of the world although we may talk on the subject of food for hours. However, as people everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, there seems very little point in trying to change traditional eating habits.

29. The topic people spend a lot of time talking about is ________.

A. l
