B
One day, the stream tried to rush through the desert sands, but it failed.
As it crashed in the sand, it failed again. Then, the stream heard a voice from the desert, “The wind crosses the desert easily—and so can you.”
The stream said sadly, “The wind flies. That’s why it can cross.”
The voice warned, “Let the wind carry you to your goal.”
“How could that possibly work?” the stream doubted.
“Let yourself become vapour and the wind will carry you high,” the voice said. “It will drop you as rain, and you’ll form a stream again.”
The stream was afraid to lose itself. “That’s not the life of a stream. Can’t I stay the stream I am?”
“No, but your true self will stay,” the voice replied. “You call yourself a stream now, but do you even know what makes you a stream?”
The stream thought hard and then agreed. It let itself turn into vapour, and then the wind carried it high and far, carrying it over the desert until it fell as rain on a mountain far away. It formed a stream again. All doubts were gone. “I’ve found my true self,” it thought.
In life, to deal with difficulties and keep moving forward, we must be willing to give up our present form and allow ourselves to be changed. By doing this, we can keep growing into who we truly are.

答案：4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
解析：
4. 根据文中第二段沙漠的话语“The wind crosses the desert easily—and so can you.”以及第三段小溪的表述“The wind flies. That's why it can cross.”，可以得知风可以轻松飞过沙漠。
5. 梳理故事里的过程：首先小溪变成水汽（对应图①），之后风将水汽带到高空（对应图④），接着水汽化作雨落在远处的山上（对应图③），最后雨水重新汇聚成小溪（对应图②），正确顺序是①-④-③-②。
6. 小溪原本是液态的水流，之后变成气态的水汽，最后化作雨水重新变回液态的小溪，形态变化过程是液态→气态→液态。
7. 文章最后一段点明主旨：面对困难想要不断前行，我们要敢于做出改变，改变能够帮助我们解决问题、获得成长。A选项“保持不变永远安全”不符合文意，B选项“力量是成功的唯一关键”表述错误，C选项“患难见真情”和故事内容无关。
