So the boy   38  to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be   39 .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole   40  .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it   41 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin   42  .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with   43  but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of   44  out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be   45  to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.

试题分析:小题1:根据上下文意思,本句的句意是:那小男孩发现茧子上有一个小洞。又根据下文的“through that little hole”。所以本题选A。
小题2: 考查代词的用法。本句意思是:让它的身体通过那个小洞。在这里要修饰“body”,用形容词性物主代词。所以本题选D。
小题3:本句意思是:它停止了,因此小男孩决定帮助它。根据后一句:他拿出剪刀剪开洞。故选A。
小题4:本句意思是:小男孩决定帮助它,他认为蝴蝶会感激他。故选D。
小题5:因为一开始那洞太小,蝴蝶才半天没爬出来,所以小男孩用剪刀把洞剪大来。
小题6:本句意思是:蝴蝶出来了,它看起来有点不同。“It had a weak body and small, thin”都是用眼睛看出来的。故选C。
小题7:根据后一句“a weak body and thin wings”,前后照应。故选A。
小题8:本句意思是:虽然小男孩不理解为何会这样,但他还是用好心行动。故选C。
小题9: work of中“of”是介词,介词后加动名词。故选B。
小题10: 根据上下文意思:努力地离开茧子让蝴蝶身体的液体进入他的翅膀。它帮助蝴蝶准备飞行。be ready to “准备”,故选A。
小题11:本句意思是:有的时候奋斗/挣扎是我们生活中必须的。some time 表示"一些时间"或“一段时间”,可以用作名词或副词短语。sometimes用作副词,表示“有的时候”,可以把它放在句首,句尾或句中。故选D。
小题12:根据句意:我们将没有原本有的强大,我们将永远不会飞。上下文:如果我们挣扎了,我们就会有原本的能力,没有挣扎,反倒落后了。故选C。
小题13:本句意思是:疼痛和苦难是所有窗户的钥匙,有时,甚至代表着成长。没有它,生活没有路。repeat“重复”, recommend“介绍,推荐”, require“要求”, represent“象征,代表”。所以本题选D。
小题14:根据下一行“problem or difficulty”,故选B。
小题15:本句意思是:下次你面对一个难题或困难时,记得那只蝴蝶。根据意思,故选D。
点评:本文通过一只蝴蝶遇到困难时少挣扎了一点,而是通过小男孩的帮助从茧里出来的故事。告诉我们一个道理:当我们遇到问题或困难时,多挣扎一下,就能起飞。本文考查的比较全面,但大部分题目是根据文章的意思进行单词辨析,选择合适的选项。这就需要认真阅读文章,熟悉文章的意思。
