Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
(2015•天津，D)Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的) forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite_off_more_than_you_are_sure_you_can_eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，” said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stopped him cold.”
Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely，there will be setbacks(挫折) and disappointments in life；boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。主要谈论的是如何做才能变得勇敢。勇敢不可能突然一下子就能得到，它需要一个逐渐培养的过程。
1．Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?
A．He faced huge risks.
B．He lacked mighty forces.
C．Fear prevented him from trying.
D．Failure blocked his way to success.
答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.”可知，作者过去不能实现自己的目标是因为恐惧使自己不敢尝试，从而导致失败。]
2．What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?
A．Swallow more than you can digest.
B．Act slightly above your abilities.
C．Develop more mysterious powers.
D．Learn to make creative decisions.
答案　B　[句意理解题。根据前面的Boldness和后面的greater than most of us realize可判断出，画线部分意为“略高于你的能力进行发挥”。]
3．What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game?
A．His physical strength. B．His basic skill.
C．His real fear. D．His spiritual force.
答案　D　[细节理解题。第四段以蒂姆成功的例子来说明“those mighty forces are spiritual ones”，也就是说蒂姆在足球比赛中成功防御主要是依靠他的精神力量。故答案为D。]
4．What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.
B．Trying without success is meaningless.
C．Repeated failure creates a better life.
D．Boldness can be gained little by little.
答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句话可知，勇敢不可能突然一下子就能得到的，它要有一个逐渐培养的过程。故D项“勇敢可以被逐步获得”符合题意。]
5．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To encourage people to be courageous.
B．To advise people to build up physical power.
C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.
答案　A　[写作意图题。第一段点明文章的主旨：Be bold and brave，后面的段落对这一中心话题详细论述，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是激励人们要大胆、勇敢。]

1．involve high risk 包含高风险

Those words made me see __4__ (clear)that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me __5__ trying at all.On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，__6__ (force)by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Task 4：单句改错
1．A college classmate of me，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.
2．I was such frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stopped him cold.
3．So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are great than you ever dreamed.
答案　1.me→mine　2.such→so　3.great→greater
Task 5：攻克长难句(分析句子结构，尝试翻译成汉语)
Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.
分析：a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme是同位语，one是替代词，“有魄力或勇敢的品格”，that则引导定语从句，先行词是one。
译文：魄力是一种挑战自我极限的意愿，不是一夜就能获得的品质。 文章来源
