【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：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。

1.考查名词。 根据上下文意思，句意：那小男孩发现茧子上有一个小洞。以及第一段的最后一行“through that little hole”。故选A。

2.2】D  考查代词的用法。句意：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。根据句意选D。

3.3】A 考查动词。 根据后一句：He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole他拿出剪刀剪开洞。句意：它停止了，因此小男孩决定帮助它。故选A。

4.4】D考查形容词。 A. afraid害怕的；B. interested感兴趣的；C. surprised惊讶的；D. grateful感激的。句意：小男孩决定帮助它，他认为蝴蝶会感激他。故选D。

5.5】B 考查形容词。A. slimmer更苗条；B. bigger更大；C. shorter更短；D. smaller更小。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。

6.6】C  考查动词。 “It had a weak body and small, thin”都是用眼睛看出来的。句意：蝴蝶出来了，它看起来有点不同。故选C。

7.7】A  考查名词。根据后一句“a weak body and thin wings”，前后照应。她有虚弱的身体，小而瘦小的翅膀。故选A。

8.8】C  考查名词。A. success成功；B. excitement兴奋；C. kindness善意；D. humour幽默。句意：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。

9.9】B考查非谓语动词。work of中“of”是介词，介词后加动名词。这里指制成茧的艰辛工作。根据句意故选B。

10.0】A 考查形容词。be ready to “准备”，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。故选A。

11.1】D考查副词。 句意：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。

12.2】C 考查上下文连串。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。根据句意：我们将没有原本有的强大，我们将永远不会飞。故选C。

13.3】D 考查动词。repeat“重复”， recommend“介绍，推荐”， require“要求”， represent“象征，代表”。句意：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。

14.4】B 考查上下文连串。根据下一行中“problem or difficulty”，可以找出答案。句意：我们可以避免困难和问题，故选B。

15.5】D 考查短语辨析。这里考查短语be faced with面对……。句意：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。

考点：考查记叙文
