真题研练77
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。

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。
