“But what if I break my arm again？”My five-year-old daughter asked,looking very 1 .I knew she 2 very much to learn to ride,but ever since she’d fallen off her bike and broken her arm,she’d been afraid.
“Oh,honey,”I said.“I don’t think you’ll break another arm.”“ 3 I could,couldn’t I？”“You know,honey,”I said,“ 4 everything you do comes with risks.You could get a broken arm in a car 5 and then be afraid to 6 ride in a car again.You could break your arm jumping a rope.You could break your arm at gym.Do you want to 7 going to gym？”“No,”she said.And with a determined spirit,she stood up and 8 to try again.
I spent the rest of the afternoon at the park watching a very 9 little girl overcome a fear,and 10 myself on being a useful single parent after a painful divorce(離婚)．
As we walked home,she asked me about a conversation she’d overheard me having with my 11 the night before.
“Grandma wanted you to find someone to 12 .”“What grandma wants is for someone to 13 my heart again.”“But Mom...”“You’re too young to 14 it,”I told her.“So I guess love isn’t like a broken arm.”she said. 15 to answer,we walked the rest of the way in 16 .When I got home,I called my mother and 17 her for talking about this to my daughter.Then I did what I’d seen my brave little girl do that very afternoon.I agreed to 18 Steve.
Steve was the man for me.We 19 less than a year later.It turned out my mother and daughter were 20 .

A psychologist once said,“If you’ve conquered every one of your fears, congratulations — you’re dead.”This humorous quote points to a simple truth — no one can escape fear completely.
However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous, such as public speaking, failing a test, or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from fulfilling our dreams. So how can we successfully face our fears?
First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you are not the only one who fears something will give you self-esteem(自尊心) a push. Second, ask yourself,“What is the worst-case scenario（最壞的情況）?”This question can help you gain perspective（洞察力）.If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad, after all. Compared with the fear of losing a contest or being turned down, the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally, take small steps toward conquering your fears. If you fear public speaking, start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence is one of the keys to success.
You might never completely conquer your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is feeling afraid but doing what you have to do anyway. It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fears stop you from getting the most out of life.
1.This passage mainly discusses .
A. the harm of fear to success B. varieties of fear
C. ways to handle fear D. necessity of fear
2.In the writer’s opinion, what might be even worse than losing a contest?
A. Being turned down by others.
B. Forgetting what to say in public speaking.
C. Sharing ideas with others.
D. Missing an opportunity.
3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Not everything we are afraid of is dangerous.
B. It’s encouraged to share your fear with others.
C. It’s difficult to overcome some fears.
D. What you fear should be worse than what you think.
4.It can be learned from the passage that a really courageous person .
A. does what is necessary to do
B. always achieves what he or she wants
C. has no fear in his or her life
D. never loses a contest

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年浙江省高三4月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Last week Adele's second album, 21, sold 257,000 copies in the UK, a sales figure that would look incredible as an opening sales week for any album by any global superstar. The fact that the album was celebrating its 10th week at No.1, and that each of the previous nine weeks it had sold over 100,000 copies, makes what Adele has achieved look miraculous. The last female singer to spend that long at No.1 in the UK was Madonna in 1990 with her greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection.
For Adele, the success of 21 is part of a perfect storm of talent, timing and a connection that went beyond gender, age and credibility. But what does it say about the state of the music industry? Does Adele's success signal a return to the MOR(適合大眾口味的音樂) musical depression, when the likes of James Blunt dominated the charts? Her success may well lead to a great many similar acts aiming for an MOR audience, but that's more the fault of an industry desperate to recreate any kind of success by creating poor copies until the world shouts "stop now".
What seems to have set Adele apart is her apparent ordinariness, besides that incredible voice. While Gaga parades around in a dress made of meat and Beyonce orbits a world out of touch to the majority of most human beings, Adele's chain-smoking, girl-you'd-like-to-go-to-the-pub-with persona stands out. Even for a British act, her ordinariness goes against trend, with fellow Jessie J adopting a very American habit of over-emoting, talking about a "journey" and making the idea of being a pop star seem fairly difficult.
It's this universality and broad appeal that's helped her translate talent into sales. While the first single from 21, Rolling in the Deep, appealed to Radio 1 listeners and bloggers, the second single, Someone Like You, is so successful that silenced the grand O2 Arena during this year's Brit Awards. The press can write pages and pages in that there's enough of a connection of musicians – Rick Rubin worked on the album, there's a cover of the Cure, Mumford & Sons were an influence – while the gossip magazines have been excited by the fact that the album is one long break-up record, eager to find the ex.
In 1990, Madonna was a global superstar with a back catalogue of era-defining hits to her name. She was untouchable and, tellingly, unknowable. She was (and still is) a megastar, but a megastar of a different age. These days, we want to know a bit more about our artists; that they have relationship problems, walk their dog. Her selling point and appeal is precisely the fact that she exists at the point between everyday ordinariness and pop star.
For now, Adele's success should be celebrated, especially for becoming an unlikely global star on her own terms. The danger is that we're headed for a lot of fairly boring pop, a situation that led to the "birth" of Gaga a few years back. Pop goes in cycles and it feels like we're headed back towards the very middle of MOR.

B．her second album ranked first in a row with the incredible average sales per week
C．Madonna was the last female singer in the UK to stay at No. 1 as long as she did

A．to a large extent depends on her apparent talent for music
B．is because of her extraordinariness and the wonderful voice
C．lies in gift, timing and something beyond sex, age and trust
D．is largely due to the state of the music industry currently
3.Compared with other female pop stars, what does the author think of Adele?
A．She stands out in a totally different way from Gaga and Beyonce.
B．She and Madonna are contemporary megastars in music.
C．Only she and Madonna spent that long at No.1 in the UK.
D．Jessie J and she both have an American habit of expressing themselves.

閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上(請注意每題詞數要求)。
[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite(凍傷)and hypothermia(體溫過低)unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm，dry and safe．
[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears．If deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold．Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it：releases．Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly．
[3] To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD—C．O．L．D．
[4]The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears．And wear mittens(連指手套)instead of gloves．
[5]The O stands for overexertion(用力過度)．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination．
[6] L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.
[7]D is for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing．These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves．
[8] And here are two other things to keep in mind-one for children and ．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body’s temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm．But what it really does is weaken the body’s ability to hold heat．
