22、为“成功需要耐心”。故C项正确。3.A推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,每一次挣扎都有一个教训。一旦暴风雨过后,你不会记得自己是如何渡过这次难关的、如何设法幸存的,但有一点确定无疑,当你走出暴风雨的时候,你不再是走进暴风雨的那个人。由此可知,从挣扎中吸取的教训使我们更加坚强。故A项正确。4.B细节理解题。从最后一段可知:没有困境,就不会珍惜好时光。力量不是来自成功,而是挣扎。B项“在困难时期,毅力激发我们的力量”符合本文主旨。故B项正确。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了法国探险家雅克卡蒂埃的三次航海探险经历。1.B根据该空前的“Jacques Cartier went to Nor
