Question

【题目】阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)

[1]Here is a story. A man sees a butterfly（蝴蝶）. 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. Surprising enough, the butterfly is unable to fly.

[2]If the butterfly doesn't struggle（挣扎）_____________the chrysalis, it can't 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.

[3]当人们年轻的时候, 遇见并克服挑战将会使他们强大。They can be 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.

[4]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.

【解析】

这是一篇人生感悟类阅读，主要通过蝴蝶破茧而出的经历，告诉我们年轻人需要挑战才能走的更远。

【1】细节理解题。根据“Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprising enough, the butterfly is unable to fly.”，可知因为这个男人帮助蝴蝶脱离蛹，蝴蝶才不能飞。根据答案要求，对应的英文为because the man helps it get out of its chrysalis.故答案为Because the man helps it get out of its chrysalis。

【2】根据语境，该句的意思是说，如果蝴蝶不挣扎着离开蛹，它就不能飞。结合句意，根据struggle to do sth.“挣扎着做某事”以及get out of“从……出来”来完成句子翻译。故句子可以整理为struggle to get out of the chrysalis.故答案为to get out of。

【3】本句是由when引导的时间状语从句，动名词在句中作主语，翻译时还会用到“make sb.+形容词”结构。故答案为When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them stronger。

【4】翻译要点：句子的前半句中的do not表示强调。后句中的keep away from“远离、避开”。故答案为：有时候, 挑战并不出现在我们面前因为我们逃避它们。

【5】主旨大意题。根据“Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.”，可知本文主要讲的是年轻人面对和克服挑战。因此最好的标题是生活的挑战让年轻人展现了最好的一面。对应的英文为Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People.故答案为Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People。
