Ⅶ. 跨学科 蝴蝶的生命历程 (2025·连云港期末)阅读理解
从一粒虫卵到破茧成蝶的绚烂,蝴蝶的生命历程藏着怎样神奇的四幕蜕变?快来一探究竟吧!
Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects昆虫, and you'll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colourful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
But, did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It's one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem茎 of a plant.
It's hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called the caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket保护层 and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the "pupa蛹" stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again.
This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things.

答案：[文章大意]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蝴蝶生命中的四个阶段。
1. A [解析]词义猜测题。根据第三段中的"It's hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called the caterpillar."可知,蝴蝶卵在几天后会变成一种完全不同的生物,即蝴蝶的幼虫阶段,故画线单词的含义为"幼虫"。故选A。
2. C [解析]事件排序题。根据第二段中的"In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg"、第三段中的"It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called the caterpillar."、第四段中的"This stage is known as the 'pupa' stage."以及第五段中的"After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears."可知,首先,雌蝴蝶在叶子或茎上产卵(③),卵在几天后变成一种会行走的昆虫,即幼虫(②),幼虫长大后,为自己制作一个保护层并进入睡眠状态,这是蛹阶段(①),最后,保护层破裂,一只湿漉漉、虚弱的蝴蝶出现,展开翅膀飞走(④)。故选C。
→注意此处lay是动词原形,表示"产卵",不是lie的过去式
3. C [解析]细节理解题。根据第五段中的"After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings."可知,破茧后的蝴蝶有六条腿,一张嘴,眼睛和翅膀。故选C。
4. B [解析]标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了蝴蝶生命中的四个阶段,以选项B(一个昆虫,四个生命阶段)为最佳标题。故选B。

解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题是词义猜测题：解题时需结合上下文语境，文中明确指出蝴蝶卵会变成一种会行走的昆虫，这种昆虫就是caterpillar，结合蝴蝶生命历程的常识，可推断该词含义。
2. 第2题是事件排序题：需要从文章中提取蝴蝶发育各阶段的关键信息，依次找到产卵、变为幼虫、进入蛹期、破茧飞走的对应描述，再按时间先后排序。
3. 第3题是细节理解题：要精准定位到文中描述破茧后蝴蝶状态的段落，提取对应的身体结构信息，对比选项选出正确答案。
4. 第4题是标题归纳题：需抓住文章核心内容，本文围绕蝴蝶的四个生命阶段展开，因此要选择能准确概括这一核心的标题。
