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 struggled 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 go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. Much to his surprise, the butterfly got a swollen body but very small, weak 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 enlarge and be able to support the body. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. The struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was God's way of forcing fluid (流体)from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved 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. And we could never fly.

四、
答案:①invention ②created ③officially ④the ⑤Speaking ⑥which ⑦to protect ⑧personal ⑨misused ⑩as
解析:①考查名词。形容词famous后接名词形式。故填 invention。
②考查时态。根据句中时间状语"in the 1980s"可知,用一般过去时。
③考查副词。修饰动词turned,用副词形式。故填 officially。
④考查冠词。固定短语for the better,意为“好转;向好的方向发展”。故填the。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语he与speak之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。
⑥考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句中,先行词为three problems,指物,用关系代词which。
⑦考查非谓语动词。短语aim to do sth旨在做某事,所以用不定式作宾语。故填to protect。
⑧考查形容词。修饰名词data privacy,前用形容词形式。故填 personal。
⑨考查时态。句意:脸书等大公司滥用用户的个人信息, 将这些信息与广告商进行分享。根据句意可知,这里用动词 misuse,表示“滥用”,且本句为现在完成时。故填misused。
shift考查介词。句意:作为一个全球社区,我们必须要团结起来。 此处用介词as,表示“作为”。故填as。
