4.阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从下面每小题做给的A,B,C,D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis（蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the
man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is
unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle to leave the chrysalis, it can fly! The struggle develops the energy in
the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them
fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When
we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One
famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from
door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His
father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and
overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively
encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide
them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will
not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the
leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to
meet challenges and overcome them.
21. From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because __________________.
A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it
C. it tries to challenges itself D. the man helps it come out
22. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ____________.
.
A overcome the difficulties
B. take up business early
C. become the leaders of tomorrow
D. sell clothes from door to door
.
23 The meaning of the underline word “mature” in the passage is “_______”.
A. wake up B. give up
C. grow up D. bring up
24. What is the writes trying to do in this passage?
A. Describe where a butterfly comes from
B. Encourage young people to face challenges
C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
