10.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 (強(qiáng)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 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(子彈)-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.
9.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?C
A.He faced huge risks.
B.He lacked mighty forces.
C.Fear prevented him from trying.
D.Failure blocked his way to success.
10.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?B
A.Swallow more than you can digest.
B.Act slightly above your abilities.
C.Develop more mysterious powers.
D.Learn to make creative decisions.
11.What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game?D
A.His physical strength.
B.His basic skill.
C.His real fear.
D.His spiritual force.
12.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A
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.

分析 本文講述了作者曾經(jīng)面臨風(fēng)險,向朋友求助,朋友給他寫了一句話"Be bold and brave-and mighty forces will come to your aid",意思是,要大膽一點(diǎn),強(qiáng)大的力量就會來幫助你.作者聯(lián)想到自己過去的失敗并不是因?yàn)閲L試然后失敗,而是自己害怕失敗的想法阻止了自己去嘗試.最后作者用自己的經(jīng)歷說明了:勇敢不是成功的保證,但是一個人努力但又失敗了要比那種什么也不做卻成功的人要更充足.

解答 9.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二段It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.可知作者過去沒能達(dá)成目標(biāo)是因?yàn)樗ε率。蔬xC.
10.B  詞句猜測題.根據(jù)后句And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.(關(guān)于這個強(qiáng)大的力量沒什么神秘的),可以推測出這里為"行為略高于你的能力"之意.故選B.
11.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第四段首句中Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.可知Tim的成功在于他的精神力量.選D.
12.A 推理題.根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知作者聯(lián)系自己的經(jīng)歷說明了大膽的重要性,并鼓勵人們有勇氣和膽量.故選A.

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

1.The Washington-based think tank's (智囊機(jī)構(gòu)的)"Vital Signs 2007-2008"report points out global patterns ranging from rising meat consumption to Asian economic growth are linked to the broader problem of climate change."I think climate change is the most urgent challenge we have ever faced,"said Erik Assadourian,director of the Vital Signs project."You see many trends in climate change,whether we are talking about grain production which is affected by droughts and flooding.Or meat production as livestock production makes up about 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions(排放),"he told reporters in a telephone interview before the report's release.
Assadourian said the key message of the report was that unsustainable consumption patterns were responsible for climate change linked to carbon emissions  and other ecological woes.He said of the 44 trends tracked by the report,28 were"pronouncedly bad"and only six were positive.The trends range from the spread of avian flu(禽流感) to the rise of carbon emissions to the number of violent conflicts.The growing use of wind power is among the few trends seen as positive.
Some of the points highlighted in the report include:
--Meat production hit a record 276 million metric tons (43 kilograms or 95 pounds per person) in 2006.
--Meat consumption is one of several factors driving rising soybean demand.Rapid expansion of soybean plantations in South America could displace(擠走) 22 million hectares (54 million acres) of tropical forest and savanna (熱帶草原) in the next 20 years.
--The rise in global seafood consumption comes as many fish species become scarcer.
Other analysts and think tanks have focused on different trends they say mean less cause for alarm.For example,they point out that while more wood is being removed from forests on a global scale,many parts of Europe and North America have experienced reforestation in recent decades.

53.The best title for this passage would beC.
 A.Greenhouse Gas Emissions              B.Global Consumption Patterns
 C.Consumption and Climate Change        D.Economic Growth and Carbon Emissions
54."Vital Signs 2007-2008"report mainly concerns aboutB.
 A.how to protect the earth
 B.the unsustainable consumption and other trends causing climate change
 C.how to stop climate change
 D.the negative trends of climate change
55.The author of the passage mentions two specific positive trends which are linked to climate change.They areD.
 a.Asian economic growth           
 b.Meat production reaching the highest record
 c.more and more seafood consumed by people 
 d.the growing use of wind power
 e.the reforestation being made in some parts of the world
 A.a(chǎn)c.  B.bd.  C.a(chǎn)d.  D.de.
56.From the passage we can conclude thatA.
 A.less livestock production will do good to climate change
 B.more soybean demand will have a good effect upon climate change
 C.climate change will cause many fish species scarcer and scarcer
 D.only by planting more tress can we stop weather from changing worse and worse.
