二、阅读理解 (共 2 道试题,共 20 分)
25.A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. “Master,” 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,” his master replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first three matches, using his one move to win. 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 outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee (裁判) called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward. “No,” the master insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, 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 master reviewed every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really in his mind. “Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” his master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

A.The time for the game has run out.
B.The game stops for a short time.
C.Either side can claim victory.
D.The game ends in a tie.
(2).Why did the master insist on continuing the match?
A.Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage.
B.Because the boy was confident of winning.
C.Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill.
D.Because all he cared about was winning the final.
(3).What caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final?
A.Over-confidence
B.Impatience
C.Inexperience
D.The time-out
(4).Why did the master only teach the boy one move?
A.The boy couldn’t do other moves with only one arm.
B.It was the only move the master knew well.
C.It was the move his opponents were not good at.

D.To master judo one only needs to learn one difficult move.

30.On the night of December 8, 1992, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy Marsh jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard. All night, Cory, Tracy’ s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy has once mentioned organ (器官) donation (捐赠). Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated. Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease. Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable. The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory too. For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I’ll never forget seeing David’s tall figure stooped over Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or good-bye. Maybe she was saying both.
