Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链)， no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
___________________. We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.

试题分析：本文通过讲述大象鼻子上的绳子来告诉我们面对失败，不要放弃，要坚持斗争。当作者在村里看到大象鼻子上系着一根细绳，大象却不会挣脱，他感到惊讶。驯象师告诉他这是因为大象在很小的时候，因为挣脱不了这个绳子，他长大了仍然以为挣脱不了，所以就放弃努力了。这告诉我们，失败是生活中的一部分，应该不要放弃争扎。
小题1:细节理解题。根据As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped.可知他在这个村里看到了大象。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。 As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away.可知当大象长大了，他们仍然认为他们不能挣脱绳子，所以没有想办法摆脱绳子的束缚。故选A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes.可知大象长大了，能在在任何时候摆脱绳子，怎么能不挣断绳子呢？故推断此处他感到惊讶。故选B。
小题4:推理判断题。根据We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.可知在生活中失败是常有的事，我们不应放弃争扎。故选A。
小题5:标题归纳题。本文通过大象鼻子上的绳子，告诉我们曾经的挫折和失败，如果我们坚持斗争，就能成功，但是放弃争扎，就只能是在失败。故此处用大象鼻子上的绳子来比喻曾经的失败。故选D。
