Get a list of all the option values and then check if the value contains your partial text. Something like this:

List list = driver.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
Iterator i = list.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
    WebElement wel = i.next();    
    if(wel.getText().contains("your partial text"))
    {
       //select this option
    }
}
