Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear. 【1】_______ However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend? Here are three reasons.
【2】_______ Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? 【3】_______ If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?
Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors didn't run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don't face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 【4】_______
Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters? 【5】_______ Same for horror movies.
So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?
A. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.
B. They frighten us in a mostly safe way.
C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.
D. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.
E. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.

【答案】
【1】G
【2】A
【3】E
【4】D
【5】B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，揭示了恐惧的好处，告诉我们恐惧其实并不可怕。现实生活中很多人在想办法克服恐惧，但是恐惧也是有好的一面的，它能够帮助我们发现生活中最重要的东西，能够帮助我们成长。
【1】G根据后一句However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding.我却想告诉你，一个没有恐惧的世界可能会更加危险而少有奖励。从表达转折的however这里推断出前一句说的意思应该与这一句相反，应该是表示恐惧的好处的句子。G项“They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.”正是说明恐惧的好处。故G正确。
【2】A 根据第一段最后一句Here are three reasons.推断出2、3、4段分别列出一个原因。在根据第三段第一句Next, fear encourages us to take action.可知第二段应该是第一个原因，故A项The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.正确。
【3】E 根据横线前一句Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends?和老板交流和与朋友交流，哪一个更让你害怕？当然是与老板的交流，因为老板能决定我们的事业。所以我们才会恐惧。正是恐惧让我们知道什么才是更重要的。如果没有恐惧，我们永远不会知道这一点。所以E项“Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.”恐惧告诉我们什么更重要。符合上下文串联。
【4】D 本段中心句Next, fear encourages us to take action.告诉我们恐惧能够鼓励我们采取行动。从本段列举的事例可知当我们遇见危险的时候，恐惧给我们能量会让我们战胜困难。所以D项“Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.”恐惧给我们去做需要被做的事情的能量。该项符合本段中心思想。
【5】B 本段中心句Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive.恐惧让我们知道自己还活着。横线前一句Why do we like roller coasters?为什么我们会喜欢过山车？正是因为过山车用一种令人恐惧的方法告诉我们还活着。故B正确。
