The girl was doing well. So she couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move. Instructor, the girl finally said, Shouldnt I be learning more moves? This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll 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 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, youve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for you opponent to grab your left arm.

Weakness Becomes Strength文章大意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。 1. A。解析推理判断题。难度中等。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。 2. C。解析词义猜测题。难度较大。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”。 3. B。解析推理判断题。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。 4. D。解析主旨大意题。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。技巧点拨 解决残疾和残疾人生活的问题是和谐社会的一项重要任务。正确对待残疾和残疾人是所有人必须关注的话题。身残志坚的残疾人令人敬仰。他们积极进取的生活态度值得所有人学习。我们要学习他们积极身上，勤奋工作，不怕困难，认真过好人生的每一天。我们要为残疾人奉献一片爱心。同时，帮助残疾人有助于提高我们关心、理解、帮助他人的意识。 有关这一话题的文章多为故事体裁。只要把握故事的七要素：时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果和评价或总结，文章便不难理解。 与残疾相关的话题结构有：一、单词：disabled(残疾的), disability(残疾), symptom(症状), syndrome(综合症状), paralysis(瘫痪), hearing(听力), eyesight(视力), far-sighted(远视的), near-sighted(近视的), short-sighted(近视的), weak-sighted(弱视的), lame(瘸的，跛的), mute(哑的), dumb(哑巴的), deaf(聋的), blind (瞎的), Braille(盲文), wheelchair(轮椅), impaired(受损的), handicap(障碍), overcome(克服)二、短语：sign language手语, Downs Syndrome(唐氏综合症), guide dog(导盲犬), chronic disease(慢性病), brain injury(脑力受损), physical disability(身体残疾), cut out(切除), adapt to(适应), make fun of(取笑), tease sb. about(戏弄)三、句型：Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up.If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit, it is easier for disabled people to get to the film in comfort.I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it.强化训练A Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs, but stumps(残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him Ape Man(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground. Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. During his busy college life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair. Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial(人造的) legs. Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank really stood up. By this time he was already 26 years old. Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it. When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs. 1.

Left uncorrected, it would be a problem, he told us. We determined to do anything we could to help our baby. When my daughter was only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts (模子), her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast. Eventually when the casts were no longer needed, Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward(笨拙的) steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps appeared quite normal. Encouraged by her progress, we looked for something else to help strengthen her lower body. When she turned six, we had her attend skating lessons and soon she was gliding (滑行) like a swan. We watched in wonderment as she skimmed the ice. She had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her hard work paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pairs-skating and the ladies singles at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events! At the senior World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies singles. Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration. At the 1992 Winter Olympics in France, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal. I thought back to the early years of challenge for Kristi. During those years, we didnt expect gold medals and a good professional career ahead of her. We respected her strength and hard work.

She is handicapped(残疾的) because she has brain damage. She could not do even the most simple thing until a year ago. She could not comb(梳) her hair or feed herself. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like a baby. Mr. Ching has a daughter and a son who live far from their father. Mr. Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He decided to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa. Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth, but foster grandparents love the children they care for. They love them just as natural grandparents love their grandchildren. The foster grandparents also help the handicapped children in special ways. They help to dress and feed the children. They read to them and tell them stories. They also help with handi- capped childrens therapy. Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder. It helps the children overcome their handicaps. Mr. Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr. Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her every day. Gradually, she began to trust him. Thanks to Mr. Ching, she could learn to do some simple things. Mr. Ching was trained to help with Lisas therapy.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired(听力受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Later on, Adrians parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldnt take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace (节奏)was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasnt always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race-being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so. But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results, she often said.13. How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school? A. By speaking. B.

An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty met by a person in dealing with a task or an action, while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by a person in life situations. Thus, disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a persons body and features of the society in which he or she lives. A disability may be physical, sensory, emotional, developmental or some combination of these. A person may also be called disabled if he or she has had an impairment in the past or is seen as disabled based on a personal or group standard. Some people are against describing certain conditions as disabilities, arguing that it is more appropriate to consider them developmental differences that have been treated unfairly by society. Some people with disabilities do not like the term handicap because of a belief that it originally meant someone who could not work and went begging with their cap in their hands. This, however, is not the true origin of the word. It first appeared in a lottery(抽奖) game known as hand-in-cap in the 17th century which involved players placing money in a cap. It moved later into horse racing where it meant bringing the strongest competitors back to the field by giving them extra weight to carry. Only in 1915 did it become a term to describe disabled people. A disability may happen during a persons lifetime or may be present from birth. Many books on disability and disability fights point out that disabled is an identity that one is not necessarily born with, as disabilities are more often acquired. Some disability rights activists use TAB- Temporarily(暂时地) Able-Bodied, as a reminder that many people will develop disabilities at some point in their lives due to accidents or illness. 17. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to _. A. explain what a disability is B. tell the history of the word disability C. show respect for disabled persons D. express different opinions on disabilities 18. We can learn from the third paragraph that some people dont think _. A. a person with mental problems is a healthy man B. disabilities should be treated unfairly by society C. a person who has had an impairment in the past is disabled D. people with developmental differences should be called disabled19. Which of the following statements about the word handicap is TRUE? A. It first appeared in the field of horse racing. B. Some people have a wrong understanding of its origin. C. It was a negative word before 1915. D. Few people have approved of it since the 17th century. 20. TAB reminds people that _. A. a disability may be present from birth B. everyone could become disabled C. disabilities should not be laughed at by people D. disabilities can be avoided111
