試題分析：文章大意：本文通過(guò)一只蝴蝶遇到困難時(shí)少掙扎了一點(diǎn)，而是通過(guò)小男孩的幫助從繭里出來(lái)的故事。告訴我們一個(gè)道理：當(dāng)我們遇到問(wèn)題或困難時(shí)，多掙扎一下，就能起飛。

【1】A 考查名詞。 根據(jù)上下文意思，句意：那小男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)繭子上有一個(gè)小洞。以及第一段的最后一行“through that little hole”。故選A。

【2】D 考查代詞的用法。句意：讓它的身體通過(guò)那個(gè)小洞。在這里要修飾“body”，用形容詞性物主代詞。根據(jù)句意選D。

【3】A 考查動(dòng)詞。 根據(jù)后一句：He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole他拿出剪刀剪開(kāi)洞。句意：它停止了，因此小男孩決定幫助它。故選A。

【4】D考查形容詞。 A. afraid害怕的；B. interested感興趣的；C. surprised驚訝的；D. grateful感激的。句意：小男孩決定幫助它，他認(rèn)為蝴蝶會(huì)感激他。故選D。

【5】B 考查形容詞。A. slimmer更苗條；B. bigger更大；C. shorter更短；D. smaller更小。因?yàn)橐婚_(kāi)始那洞太小，蝴蝶才半天沒(méi)爬出來(lái)，所以小男孩用剪刀把洞剪大了。

【6】C 考查動(dòng)詞。 “It had a weak body and small, thin”都是用眼睛看出來(lái)的。句意：蝴蝶出來(lái)了，它看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)不同。故選C。

【7】A 考查名詞。根據(jù)后一句“a weak body and thin wings”，前后照應(yīng)。她有虛弱的身體，小而瘦小的翅膀。故選A。

【8】C 考查名詞。A. success成功；B. excitement興奮；C. kindness善意；D. humour幽默。句意：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。

【9】B考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。work of中“of”是介詞，介詞后加動(dòng)名詞。這里指制成繭的艱辛工作。根據(jù)句意故選B。

【10】A 考查形容詞。be ready to “準(zhǔn)備”，根據(jù)上下文意思：努力地離開(kāi)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。故選A。

【11】D考查副詞。 句意：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(yǔ)。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。

【12】C 考查上下文連串。上下文：如果我們掙扎了，我們就會(huì)有原本的能力，沒(méi)有掙扎，反倒落后了。根據(jù)句意：我們將沒(méi)有原本有的強(qiáng)大，我們將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)飛。故選C。

【13】D 考查動(dòng)詞。repeat“重復(fù)”； recommend“介紹，推薦”； require“要求”； represent“象征，代表”。句意：疼痛和苦難是所有窗戶的鑰匙，有時(shí)，甚至代表著成長(zhǎng)。沒(méi)有它，生活沒(méi)有路。

【14】B 考查上下文連串。根據(jù)下一行中“problem or difficulty”，可以找出答案。句意：我們可以避免困難和問(wèn)題，故選B。

【15】D 考查短語(yǔ)辨析。這里考查短語(yǔ)be faced with面對(duì)……。句意：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。
