15.Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia,I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud.As I reached the pool,I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected.I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times.I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me.Had I been hurt,I wouldn't have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all,I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped,laughing,I took a step forward.My attacker rushed me again.He charged towards me at full speed,attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time,I took a step backwards while my attacker paused.I wasn't sure what to do.After all,it's just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly.I stepped back to look the situation over.My attacker moved back to land on the ground.That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging at me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her,he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her.I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate.He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake,even though she was clearly dying and I was so large.He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life.His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable.I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool.He had truly earned those moments to be with her,undisturbed.
Since then,I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.

解答 答案:
21.D 细节推理题 根据第一段中的"I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud"可知,由于作者看到前面的路上有一滩水,于是就改变了方向,走到了没有被水或泥覆盖的小路上;因此可推测出作者是怕弄湿了自己的鞋子,故选D.
22.B 细节理解题 根据第一段中的"Had I been hurt,I wouldn't have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all,I was being attacked by a butterfly!"可知,作者并没有受伤,让他感到有趣的是他受到的是一只蝴蝶的攻击;故选B
23.C 细节理解题 根据第三段中的"I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate."(那只蝴蝶对恋人的爱和勇气是我所钦佩的)以及"He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake,even though she was clearly dying and I was so large."(即使她显然快要死了,我又是这样高大,为了他的伴侣,他勇敢地攻击我.)可知,作者认为那只蝴蝶很有勇敢;故选C.
24.A 细节推理题 根据最后一段"Since then,I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me."(从那以后,每当我面对巨大的困难的时候,我都会想起那只蝴蝶的勇气)可知,有了那次经历之后,作者知道了在面对困难时,他该做什么;故选A.
