【解析】

本文通過講述蝴蝶自己破繭而出才能有結(jié)實的翅膀和小的身體，飛起來，獲得自由。從中我們可知，有時困難正是我們生活中所需要的。如果生活總是稱心如意，我們就會變得軟弱。

【1】句意：幾天以后，一個小口出現(xiàn)了。

produced生產(chǎn)，fell摔倒，appeared出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)后文的“through that little hole”可知，此處指的是出現(xiàn)了一個小口，故選C。

【2】句意：他坐著幾個小時，看著蝴蝶掙扎著把身體從那個小洞里擠出來。

complete完成，force強迫，spread傳播。根據(jù)“through that little hole”可知，此處表示要從那么小的孔里出去，應是費力的，因此表示強迫，故選B。

【3】句意：看來它不能再往前走了。

faster更快的，better更好的，farther更遠的。根據(jù)“Then it seemed to stop making any progress.”可知，他停止進展，因此表示不再往前走，故選C。

【4】句意：于是這個人決定幫助蝴蝶，所以他拿了一把剪刀，把繭的剩余部分剪了下來。

cut off剪下，took off脫下，put off推遲。根據(jù)“he took a pair of scissors”可知，用剪刀剪下來，故選A。

【5】句意：這個人繼續(xù)觀察蝴蝶，因為他希望它能擴大翅膀，縮小身體。

should應該，would將要，might可能。根據(jù)“expected”可知，此處表示期望將要發(fā)生的事，因此用would，故選B。

【6】句意：兩者都沒有發(fā)生！

Either兩者中的任何一個，None三者都不，Neither兩者都不。根據(jù)前文的“enlarge its wings and reduce its body.”可知，此處他希望擴大翅膀和縮小身體，這兩者都沒有發(fā)生，故選C。

【7】句意：出于好心，他不明白蝴蝶要費好大的勁才能從那個小口飛過去。

into進入，through通過，against違反。根據(jù)“the tiny opening”可知，蝴蝶的身體要從那個小孔里通過，故選B。

【8】句意：只有這樣，它才最終從小的繭中獲得了自由。

ability能力，energy精力，freedom自由。根據(jù)“It would be ready for fight if it can force fluid (液體) from the body into its wings.”可知，他從小孔里擠出去，把身體里的液體擠到翅膀里，這樣它就能有小身體和大翅膀，飛起來，獲得自由，故選C。

【9】句意：有時困難正是我們生活中所需要的。

hardly幾乎不，exactly精確地，clearly清楚地。根據(jù)“___10___ life is always a bed of roses, it would make us weak.”可知，困難正是我們需要的，故選B。

【10】句意：如果生活總是稱心如意，我們就會變得軟弱。

If如果，When當……時候，Though盡管。此處表示假設，如何生活稱心如意，我們就會變得軟弱，故選A。

根據(jù)前后文的語境，認真辨析選項里的單詞或短語的詞義，結(jié)合詞性，短語，句型，時態(tài)，語態(tài)和主謂一致，選出正確的選項。例如小題4，句意：于是這個人決定幫助蝴蝶，所以他拿了一把剪刀把繭的剩余部分剪了下來。A. cut off剪下，B. took off脫下，C. put off推遲。根據(jù)“he took a pair of scissors”可知，用剪刀剪下來，故選A。
