四、阅读理解(20 小题,每小题 2 分,共 40 分)
阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按文后要求做题。
A
One day a man found a cocoon (茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat
there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening
appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through
that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if
it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of
the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise,
the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the
cocoon.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body
would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able
to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling(爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules.
Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (液) from its body must be
forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a
hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from
the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed
us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We
would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

B
Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students
will answer "math". No matter which country you visit, no matter which grade
you are in, you may not learn art, geography, chemistry or Chinese, but you
always learn math. Why is this so? How come so many students hate math, and yet
cannot avoid learning it in school?
Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, "What good do we
get from learning math? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use
computers to store information. I think learning math at school is a waste of
time."
However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract
(减) numbers. In fact, math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is
about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems. Of course,
Jenny is right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we
even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically? In short,
computers are only tools when solving problems.
For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests.
How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most
efficiently(高效地)? In situations like this, the ability to think logically
will get you a reasonable answer and solve your problem.
