(2015·高考天津卷) 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. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?_______ 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. 【解析】 写作意图题。本文首段提到论点“要大胆勇敢地去尝试”,行文从第二段开始通过列举事实对此论点进行论证,最后一段回扣主题:努力活得稍微超过你的能力,那么你会发现你的能力比你希望的更大。故本文作者主要的目的是“鼓励人们要勇敢”,A项所述符合题干要求。 A 名师点津 不同的文章有不同的写作意图,归纳起来通常有以下三种:1.to entertain readers(娱乐读者,让人发笑),常见于故事类的文章。2.to persuade readers,to sell a product or a
