6. — his growth mindset, he making mistakes.
—That's why he improves so fast.

A.Because; never afraid of
B.Because of; never afraid of
C.Because; is never afraid of
D.Because of; is never afraid of

6. D 解析:because of后接名词短语;be afraid of意为“害怕”,主语he为单数,用is never afraid of。故选D。

【分析】
解题时分两步：第一步区分because和because of的用法：because是连词，后接完整句子；because of是介词短语，后接名词、代词或名词性短语。题目第一个空后是名词短语“his growth mindset”，因此排除用because的A、C选项。第二步分析第二个空：句子缺少谓语，固定搭配“be afraid of”表“害怕”，主语是第三人称单数he，一般现在时be动词用is，副词never置于be动词后，故应为“is never afraid of”，排除B选项，最终选D。
【解析】
1. 区分because与because of：because引导原因状语从句，后接句子；because of后接名词、代词或名词性短语。本题第一空后是名词短语“his growth mindset”，故用because of，排除A、C。
2. 分析第二个空：“be afraid of”是固定搭配，主语he为第三人称单数，一般现在时be动词用is，副词never置于be动词后，故为“is never afraid of”，排除B。因此答案为D。
【答案】
D
【知识点】
because与because of的用法；固定搭配be afraid of
【点评】
本题考查英语基础语法中的原因表达和固定短语，需准确区分连词与介词短语的用法，牢记固定搭配结构，属于巩固语法的基础题型。
