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.

If the butterfly never has to squeeze(擠壓) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.

In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even  48   growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid   49  or problems. So, next time you are   50 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!

試題分析：小題1:根據(jù)上下文意思，本句的句意是：那小男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)繭子上有一個(gè)小洞。又根據(jù)下文的“through that little hole”。所以本題選A。
小題2: 考查代詞的用法。本句意思是：讓它的身體通過那個(gè)小洞。在這里要修飾“body”，用形容詞性物主代詞。所以本題選D。
小題3:本句意思是：它停止了，因此小男孩決定幫助它。根據(jù)后一句：他拿出剪刀剪開洞。故選A。
小題4:本句意思是：小男孩決定幫助它，他認(rèn)為蝴蝶會(huì)感激他。故選D。
小題5:因?yàn)橐婚_始那洞太小，蝴蝶才半天沒爬出來，所以小男孩用剪刀把洞剪大來。
小題6:本句意思是：蝴蝶出來了，它看起來有點(diǎn)不同�！癐t had a weak body and small, thin”都是用眼睛看出來的。故選C。
小題7:根據(jù)后一句“a weak body and thin wings”，前后照應(yīng)。故選A。
小題8:本句意思是：雖然小男孩不理解為何會(huì)這樣，但他還是用好心行動(dòng)。故選C。
小題9: work of中“of”是介詞，介詞后加動(dòng)名詞。故選B。
小題10: 根據(jù)上下文意思：努力地離開繭子讓蝴蝶身體的液體進(jìn)入他的翅膀。它幫助蝴蝶準(zhǔn)備飛行。be ready to “準(zhǔn)備”，故選A。
小題11:本句意思是：有的時(shí)候奮斗/掙扎是我們生活中必須的。some time 表示"一些時(shí)間"或“一段時(shí)間”，可以用作名詞或副詞短語。sometimes用作副詞，表示“有的時(shí)候”，可以把它放在句首，句尾或句中。故選D。
小題12:根據(jù)句意：我們將沒有原本有的強(qiáng)大，我們將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)飛。上下文：如果我們掙扎了，我們就會(huì)有原本的能力，沒有掙扎，反倒落后了。故選C。
小題13:本句意思是：疼痛和苦難是所有窗戶的鑰匙，有時(shí)，甚至代表著成長。沒有它，生活沒有路。repeat“重復(fù)”， recommend“介紹，推薦”， require“要求”， represent“象征，代表”。所以本題選D。
小題14:根據(jù)下一行“problem or difficulty”，故選B。
小題15:本句意思是：下次你面對(duì)一個(gè)難題或困難時(shí)，記得那只蝴蝶。根據(jù)意思，故選D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文通過一只蝴蝶遇到困難時(shí)少掙扎了一點(diǎn)，而是通過小男孩的幫助從繭里出來的故事。告訴我們一個(gè)道理：當(dāng)我們遇到問題或困難時(shí)，多掙扎一下，就能起飛。本文考查的比較全面，但大部分題目是根據(jù)文章的意思進(jìn)行單詞辨析，選擇合適的選項(xiàng)。這就需要認(rèn)真閱讀文章，熟悉文章的意思。
