[解析]
(1)语境衔接题。根据上文Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all?Or has fear of failure meant that,subconsciously,you undermined (削弱) your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure? (你有没有因为害怕某件事失败而决定根本不去尝试?还是对失败的恐惧意味着,在潜意识里,你破坏了自己为避免更大失败的可能性所做的努力)讲述了人们害怕失败的现象和背后的心理因素,再结合下文It's important to realize that in everything we do,there's always a chance that we'll fail. (重要的是要认识到,在我们所做的每件事中,总会有失败的机会),该空应该讲失败存在的普遍性,D选项Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another."我们中的许多人可能曾经经历过这种情况。"切合语境,也可引出下文讲人总会有失败的时候。故选D项。
(2)联系上文题。由小标题Analyze all potential outcomes. (分析所有潜在结果。)可知本段主要讲减少人们对失败恐惧的方法之一——分析事情将产生的所有(好坏)结果,该空应该要分析人们害怕失败的原因,G选项Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown."许多人害怕失败是因为他们害怕未知。"是对段落标题的阐释。故选G项。
(3)联系上文题。由小标题Set small goals. (设定小目标。)可知本段主要讲减少人们对失败恐惧的方法之一——设定小目标,再结合上文So start by setting a few small goals. (所以,从设定几个小目标开始)可知,该空应该讲具体如何设置小目标,F选项These should be goals that are slightly,but not overwhelmingly,challenging."这些目标应该具有轻微的挑战性,但不是压倒性的挑战性。"对前句的小目标具体解释。故选F项。
(4)联系上文题。由小标题Learn to think more positively. (学会更积极地思考。)可知本段主要讲减少人们对失败恐惧的方法之一——学会更积极地思考,再结合上文Every coin has two sides. (凡事都有两面性。)可知,该空应该讲积极思考事物两面性后应该怎么做,B选项It is up to you to decide which one to look at."你来决定要看哪一面。"切合语境。故选B项。
(5)标题判断题。该空选取小标题,需总结下文。由下文In some cases,the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous (灾难性的) and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure.In other cases,however,this worst case may actually not be that bad,and recognizing this can help. (在某些情况下,最艰难的情况可能真的是灾难性的,害怕失败可能是完全合理的。然而,在其他情况下,这种最坏的情况实际上可能没有那么糟糕,认识到这一点会有所帮助。)可知,本段在谈论最坏的情况,A选项Look at the worse﹣case situation."看看更糟糕的情况。"切合语境。故选A项。
