In 2003, Bethany Hamilton,13, lost her left arm to a shark attack while surfing off Kauai, Hawaii. A new film ,Soul Surfer, is based on the story of how she overcame that to achieve her dream of becoming a professional athlete.
Growing up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾),a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved, nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.
In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.
It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”
The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding.
Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.
“Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”

年仅13岁的宝芬妮.汉弥顿在夏威夷考艾岛冲浪时,不幸被鲨鱼袭击,失去左臂。之后她克服身体上的残缺,实现了成为一名职业运动员的梦想,她的故事最近被拍成了电影。
小题1:细节理解题。结合The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding(电影中运用特技将罗伯的胳膊给“隐身”起来,但是在冲浪场景中,特技就变得多余了。因为这些冲浪的场景都是由汉米尔顿亲自上阵的)可知C项错误。
小题2:词义理解题。will power意志力。结合文章可知,Bethany是个意志坚强的人,所以划线的词应是strong的含义。
小题3:推理判断题。结合文章内容“(“I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”)我知道她的故事,接下这个角色也是对我的挑战。但是我真的被这些挑战给怔住了,如果真的失去了手臂,我们的信念还能那般坚定么?可知Rob被Bethany的经历吸引和感动了。
小题4:细节理解题。结合最后一段Hamilton 的话“大多数人遭遇了这一切都会经历很艰难的时期,但是我们一定能渡过一切难关,就像我们家的例子一样,一切都会好起来的”可知B正确。
小题5:推理判断题。结合Hamilton的经历:在夏威夷考艾岛冲浪时,不幸被鲨鱼袭击,失去左臂。之后她克服身体上的残缺,实现了成为一名职业运动员的梦想,我们可知:信念和坚强的意志激励我们能渡过一切难关。

Boxing games are truly widely supported by a lot of people over the world . The sport involves two people fighting with each other inside a ring with a referee making sure that the fight goes on smoothly. The fighters have to be of the same weight to be able to fight and they make use of their fists according to the rules of competition.
There are three ways in winning the game. First, you have to knock out the challenger. Secondly, there is the technical knockout (击倒). This usually happens when the rival is seriously hurt and unable to carry on and defend himself. Thirdly, each boxer gets on with the fight until the last round is over and done with and the winner is judged according to the scores he gets.
The first boxing champion was James Figg who came from England. It was in 1719 that the word "boxing" was known. The sport then was completely different from what you are used to seeing and observing nowadays. In 1743 Jack Broughton, a boxing title holder, was responsible for coming up with the rules and regulations to make the fight more manageable.
Under these rules, a boxer who falls and does not fight after 30 seconds has elapsed is declared the loser and any fighter is prevented from hitting his opponent when he is already down. Broughton was also the one who created the mufflers -- a kind of gloves with padding which were used during presentations and training.
Today, the sport has a total of 12 rounds with three minutes playing time for each round. Boxers are given a minute for them to rest or for consultation with their respective coaches. A referee has the responsibility of making sure that the boxers carry on with the fight according to the rules of the sport.
