18.The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,"Dad!The bear is right behind us!"An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back----the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack-----The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I'm proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

5.The brown bear approached the family in order toB.
A.catch shore birds                   
B.start an attack
C.protect the children                 
D.set up a barrier for itself
6.The bear finally went away after itA.
A.felt safe                   
B.got injured
C.found some food            
D.took away the camera
7.The writer and his family survived mainly due to theirC.
A.pride    
B.Patience     
C.calmness     
D.cautiousness.

分析 本篇是一篇故事,介绍的是我和全家人在海滩上拍照时突遇一头棕熊的遭遇.作者和熊进行了搏斗,最后棕熊感觉他们没有威胁时,返回了森林.

解答 5---7 BAC
5.答案B.考查细节阅读.A项为无效信息,因为文中没有提到棕熊捕杀鸟类的事情;B项是由第二段"An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy"推测而来,因此是正确答案;C项为错误答案,棕熊袭击了他们,而不是来保护作者的孩子们;D项是倒置了文中的内容,文中提到作者提起照相机的三脚架作为保护自己和孩子的屏障,而不是棕熊建立屏障.
6.答案A.考查细节理解.根据文章最后一段中"Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat"可知,棕熊是因为没了威胁才走的,也就是感到了安全.B、C、D选项都是文中没有提到的信息,为无效信息.
7.答案C.考查细节推理.根据文章最后一段内容"I'm proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome"可知,他们全家保持了头脑清晰(clear-headed),如不如此,可能结果迥异了.所以,他们全家无虞全仰仗他们的冷静(calmness).D.cautiousness小心,谨慎,与文章内容不合.

7.Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure.The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because"everyone's a winner."And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before.As a result,Stanford University professor Carol Dweck,PhD,calls them"the overpraised generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years.Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it.Here's how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic-you're a born artist,point guard,or numbers person.The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame.When things get difficult,it's quick to blame,lie,and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand,a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible.Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much,the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame.When faced with a difficulty,it's quick to rethink,change and try again.In fact,it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets.(Otherwise,we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents,teachers,and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise.Dweck's book,Mind-set:The New Psychology of Success,and online instructional program explain this in depth.But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children,grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

29.A fixed mind-set person is probably one whoC.
A.cannot share his ideas with others
B.cares a lot about personal safety
C.doesn't want to work hard  
D.can succeed with the help of teachers
30.What does the growth mind-set believe?B
A.Admitting failure is shameful.
B.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
C.Scores should be highly valued.
D.Talent comes with one's birth.
31.What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?A
A.Encourage them to learn from failures.
B.Prevent them from making mistakes.
C.Guide them in doing little things.
D.Help them grow with praise.
