MISSING CAT
Hi, I am one of your neighbors, sorry to disturb（打扰） during L4, but my cat Moa is missing for a while. Moa is a big size female cat, with tortie color, big fluffy（松软） tail. The tortie color is like the mixture of brown and black. She also has a white chest, white nose and paws. She was missing from the crossroad of East St. and Queen St. PAPAKURA, since Friday morning (9. 3) or maybe Thursday night. She is a very shy girl and never leaves home too far away.

If you’re keeping her, I will thank you for loving her and if you can bring her back, I’d like to pay the reward（报酬）. My contact number is 0212488909, my name is Dan Lu. Thanks for helping. I hope all of you are doing well.

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(出现), and the butterfly tried to let its body come through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress(进步). 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(残余的) 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 kept watching the butterfly because he hoped 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 (流体) 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.
1. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
A. It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
B. It was flying among the trees in the forest.
C. It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
D. It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
2. The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon _______.
A. to take the butterfly home B. to help the butterfly come out easily
C. to kill the butterfly D. to stop the butterfly growing bigger
3. What do you think of the man?
A. Patient but cruel(残忍的). B. Careful and wise(明智的).
C. Kind but unwise. D. Brave and funny.
C

That winter my father became seriously ill, and my mother and I looked after the inn (小酒馆). One January morning, the captain went out for his walk. My mother was with my father, and I was laying the table for the captain. A tall, pale man with only three fingers on his left hand came in.
“Come here, boy,” he said. “Is this table here for my friend Bill?”
“Bill?” I asked. “This table is for the captain.”
“Has he got a scar (疤) on his face?” he asked.
“Yes.” I answered. “He went for a walk.”
When the stranger (陌生人) saw the captain returning, he hid behind the door. I knew that something was wrong and I was worried because both men had swords (剑).
The captain was walking to his breakfast table, when the stranger said loudly. “Bill!”
The captain turned round and the colour left his face.
“Black Dog!” he gasped (倒吸一口气).
“Black Dog it is, ” said the stranger, “come to see his old shipmate Bill.”
“Here I am,” said the captain. “What do you want?”
“Let’s get some rum (姆酒). ” said Black Dog, and talked like old shipmates. I gave them some rum and went back to work. The men’s voices soon grew louder and I heard the captain shouting. “No, no, no!”
Both men jumped up. and they fought with each other. Black Dog ran out of the inn with blood running down his shoulder. The captain stood and watched as he disappeared over the hill.
Then he came back into the inn.
“Jim.” he said. “Rum!”
“Are you hurt?” I cried.
“Rum.” he repeated. “I must get away from here. Rum! Rum!”
When I came back with the rum, I found the captain lying on the floor. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. But he was still alive. Just at that moment Dr Livesey arrived to see my father.
1. What can we know about the captain from the story?
A. He was excited to see his old shipmate. B. He was willing to talk with Black Dog.
C. He knew little about Black Dog. D. He was surprised and afraid to see Black Dog.
2. Why did the captain want to leave?
A. Because he thought it was not safe to stay here. B. Because he wanted to look after his family.
C. Because he lost the fight. D. Because he wanted to find a new job and make more money.
3. Which of following is TRUE according to the story?
A. The doctor had heard of the fight and came to treat the captain.
B. The doctor who came to visit Jim’s father was the captain’s friend.
C. The captain was found dead lying on the floor.
D. The captain would be lucky to get checked and treated.
D
Peter Drucker, is the world’s most influential management master. Probably more than anyone else, he has helped to explain management and the tasks and responsibilities of the manager.
Drucker’s writings avoid formal theories(理论) of management and organization and instead encourage managers to ask basic questions. In his view, managers should be the pivot around which the organization goes around, rather than directors controlling from the top down or officers leading from the front.
As well as using resources and creating production, the manager has an even more important task: the creation of markets. In a landmark talk, Drucker says that there is only one reasonable purpose for a business: “to create a customer, Markets are not created by God, nature or economic forces, but by the people who manage business.”
He also stresses the responsibilities of managers, which he says are three levels: to achieve economic performance, to make work productive and to manage the social effects that any enterprise has on its environment. Especially important is the third set of responsibilities.
Drucker sees management as an art rather than a science and constantly（坚持）speaks of management in human terms. This, plus his easy, short writing style and ability to cut to the heart of any argument, has made him the most popular and widely management writer of all time.
1. Peter Drucker talked about the following things in his writing except ______ of the manager.
A. the management B. the feelings C. the tasks D. the responsibilities
2. The underlined word “pivot” in Paragraph 2 means________.
A. the key person B. the popular writer C. the creative customer D. the key salesman
3. What is the characteristic of Peter Drucker’s writing?
A. He encourages managers to ask chief questions.
B. He likes using theories in a formal way.
C. He asks the customers to give their advice.
D. He expresses his ideas in an easy, short writing style.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The great manager of an enterprise B. A popular news reporter
C. The great master of management D. A famous novel writer

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只能填一个单词。
The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for child called Kiddle has appeared.
Search results are filtered (过滤), so only safe websites are shown and descriptions are written in simple languages. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.
Kiddle uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too—with an extra robot picture.
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are specially written for children in a simple way.
The eighth and onwards results are not written for children. They provide expert content (权威内容), but are harder for kids to understand.
Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures (缩略图) to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for “meow meow”, Google produces pages for information about a drug (毒品) that has “meow meow” as its nickname, but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even some cartoon pictures.
The company explained, “Websites which appear in Kiddle search results meet family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.”

答案与解析
第I卷（客观题 共50分）
一、单项选择 在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共14小题，每小题1分，共14分）
1. He is such ________ unusual person that he gave us ________ useful advice.
A. the; an B. an; a C. the; the D. an; /
【答案】D
【解析】句意：他是一个不同寻常的人，他给了我们有用的建议。
考查冠词辨析，不定冠词a/an表泛指，a用于以辅音音素发音的单词前，an用于以元音音素开头的单词前；定冠词the表特指。person是可数名词单数，第一空这里表示泛指，unusual是以元音音素开头发音的，应该用an。advice是不可数名词，give sb sth“给某人某物”，第二空这里也不表特指，应该用零冠词，故选D。
2. —Which basketball player do you like better, Mike or James Kobe?
— ________ of them. Jeremy White is my favorite.
A. Neither B. None C. Either D. All
【答案】A
【解析】句意：——哪位篮球运动员你更喜欢，麦克还是詹姆斯科比？——二者都不喜欢。杰里米·怀特是我的最爱。
考查不定代词。neither二者都不；none三者或以上都不；either二者之一；all三者或以上全都。根据“Mike or James Kobe”可知是二者的范围。根据“Jeremy White is my favorite”可知否定了前文中提到的两个人。用“neither” 表示“二者都不”。故选A。
3. —Oh, you’ve got a nice mobile phone.
—Yes, it is of ________ to me, but it also cost me a lot.
A. no use B. great help C. no interest D. little importance
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——哦，你有一部漂亮的手机。——是的，这对我帮助很大，但也花了我很多钱。
考查名词辨析。no use没有用；great help很大的帮助；no interest没有兴趣；little importance不重要；根据“you’ve got a nice mobile phone”以及“Yes”可知，此处说的是手机对自己有很大的帮助，be of great help“有很大的帮助”，故选B。
4. —John didn’t stop looking for a job ________ he got an offer from a French company.
—Lucky him. It’s not easy for university graduates to get a good job now.
A. until B. since C. as D. if
【答案】A
【解析】句意：——约翰一直在找工作，直到他得到一家法国公司的offer。——他太幸运了。现在大学毕业生找一份好工作不容易。
考查连词辨析。until直到；since自从；as由于；if如果。根据“John didn’t stop looking for a job…he got an offer from a French company”可知，此处考查固定搭配not…until表示“直到……才”，故选A。
5. Nancy is wearing blue today. Maybe she feels ________ nervous and stressed.
A. a little of B. a bit of C. a little bit D. a bit little
【答案】C
【解析】句意：南希今天穿蓝色的衣服。也许她感到有点紧张和压力。
考查短语辨析。a little of和a bit of 意为“一点儿”后跟不可数名词，可排除选项AB；没有a bit little 这个短语用法。a 1ittle bit nervous 意为“有点儿紧张”符合语境。故选C。
6. Last Friday, a fireman came to our school and told us what to do if a fire ________ .
A. works out B. puts out C. breaks out D. runs out
【答案】C
【解析】句意：上周五，一位消防员来到我们学校，告诉我们如果火灾突然发生我们做什么。
考查动词短语。works out研究出；puts out扑灭；breaks out，突然发生爆发；runs out用完。根据“a fire”可知表达的是“火灾突然发生”，用动词短语“breaks out”。故选C。
7. You ________ pay too much attention to your reading skill, as it is so important.
A. shouldn’t B. needn’t C. mustn’t D. cannot
【答案】D
【解析】句意：你再怎么注意你的阅读技巧也不为过，因为它是如此重要。
考查情态动词。shouldn’t不应该；needn’t不必；mustn’t禁止；cannot不能。根据“as it is so important.”因为它是如此重要，可知是再怎么注意你的阅读技巧也不为过，cannot…too“再……也不为过”，固定短语。故选D。
8. — Remember to come to my birthday party this Friday evening.
— OK. I was ________ just now.
A. remained B. reminded C. returned D. recommended
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——记住这个星期五晚上来参加我的生日聚会。——好的。刚才有人提醒我。
考查动词辨析，remained保持；reminded提醒；returned返回，归还；recommended推荐。根据“Remember to come to my birthday party this Friday evening.”，可推知应该是刚刚被提醒了，故选B。
9. —Boys and girls, traffic rules should be ________ traffic accidents.
—Thanks, Mr. Li.
A. paid attention to avoid B. paid attention to to avoiding
C. paid attention to avoiding D. paid attention to to avoid
【答案】D
【解析】句意：——同学们，要注意交通规则以避免交通事故。——谢谢你，李老师。
考查非谓语动词。pay attention to注意，该短语中的to为介词，该短语和其前主语traffic rules构成被动关系，主语traffic rules作介词to的承受者；to avoid traffic accidents中的to为动词不定式符号，在此处表目的，在句中作目的状语，故选D。
10. —The match is so exciting. The opposite team is really strong.
—Yes, I doubt ________ our team will win or not.
A. if B. that C. whether D. why
【答案】C
【解析】句意：——这场比赛太激动人心了。对方队真的很强。——是的，我怀疑我们队是否会赢。
考查宾语从句引导词。if是否；that引导宾语从句，无意义；whether是否；why为什么；空处缺宾语从句的引导词，结合语境及“or not”可知，此处表达的是“是否会赢”，应用whether引导宾语从句，故选C。
11. —Tom, why are you still here? School is over for half an hour.
—Because I ________ my task yet. I still need one more hour.
A. won’t finish B. haven’t finished C. didn’t finish D. hadn’t finished
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——汤姆，你怎么还在这儿？放学半个小时。——因为我还没有完成我的任务。我还需要一个小时。
考查动词时态，finish v.完成。根据“yet”和“I still need one more hour.”可知应该用于现在时完成时（have/has done），故选B。
12. —________ good news you’ve won the match! Congratulations!
—Thank you!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
【答案】A
【解析】句意：——你比赛赢了，真是好消息！祝贺你！——谢谢你！
考查感叹句。what引导感叹句后接名词或名词性短语；how引导感叹句后接形容词或副词。由news是不可数名词可知，本题用“what +形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语”结构。故选A。
13. —Sometimes I don’t know what to wear.
—Try red clothes. They can make ________ easier to take action.
A. that B. it C. this D. what
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——有时候我不知道穿什么。——试试红色的衣服。它们可以让行动变得更简单。
考查代词。that那；it它；this这；what什么。动词“make”的宾语是“to take action”，用“it”作形式宾语。故选B。
14. — What do you want to know?
— Could you please tell me ________?
A. what will she do with the newspapers B. how we can call this lady
C. how long they have got married D. what’s wrong with the little boy
【答案】D
【解析】句意：——你想知道什么？——你能告诉我这个小男孩怎么了？
考查宾语从句。此句是宾语从句，用陈述语序，排除A；call sb. sth.“称呼某人……”，故选项B中的引导词应用what，排除B；how long应与延续性动词连用，而got married是非延续性动词，排除C。故选D。
二、完形填空
先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

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(出现), and the butterfly tried to let its body come through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress(进步). 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(残余的) 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 kept watching the butterfly because he hoped 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 (流体) 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.
1. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
A. It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
B. It was flying among the trees in the forest.
C. It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
D. It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
2. The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon _______.
A. to take the butterfly home B. to help the butterfly come out easily
C. to kill the butterfly D. to stop the butterfly growing bigger
3. What do you think of the man?
A. Patient but cruel(残忍的). B. Careful and wise(明智的).
C. Kind but unwise. D. Brave and funny.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C

Peter Drucker, is the world’s most influential management master. Probably more than anyone else, he has helped to explain management and the tasks and responsibilities of the manager.
Drucker’s writings avoid formal theories(理论) of management and organization and instead encourage managers to ask basic questions. In his view, managers should be the pivot around which the organization goes around, rather than directors controlling from the top down or officers leading from the front.
As well as using resources and creating production, the manager has an even more important task: the creation of markets. In a landmark talk, Drucker says that there is only one reasonable purpose for a business: “to create a customer, Markets are not created by God, nature or economic forces, but by the people who manage business.”
He also stresses the responsibilities of managers, which he says are three levels: to achieve economic performance, to make work productive and to manage the social effects that any enterprise has on its environment. Especially important is the third set of responsibilities.
Drucker sees management as an art rather than a science and constantly（坚持）speaks of management in human terms. This, plus his easy, short writing style and ability to cut to the heart of any argument, has made him the most popular and widely management writer of all time.
1. Peter Drucker talked about the following things in his writing except ______ of the manager.
A. the management B. the feelings C. the tasks D. the responsibilities
2. The underlined word “pivot” in Paragraph 2 means________.
A. the key person B. the popular writer C. the creative customer D. the key salesman
3. What is the characteristic of Peter Drucker’s writing?
A. He encourages managers to ask chief questions.
B. He likes using theories in a formal way.
C. He asks the customers to give their advice.
D. He expresses his ideas in an easy, short writing style.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The great manager of an enterprise B. A popular news reporter
C. The great master of management D. A famous novel writer
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C

3D【解析】细节理解题，根据“This, plus his easy, short writing style and ability to cut to the heart of any argument, has made him the most popular and widely management writer of all time.”可知他以一种轻松、短小的写作风格表达自己的思想，故选D。

第II卷(主观题共50分)
四、词汇运用 (本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分)

1. The 12-month-old child can’t stop laughing loudly ________(无论何时) the little puppy appears.

2. The most important thing is how long will be remembered, by ________ (谁) and for what.

1. ________(care) in driving can always lead to terrible traffic accidents.

2. The couple said the most ________ (value) things were locked in a safe in their bedroom.
【答案】valuable

【解析】句意：似乎那些经常在电视上露面的领导想要进行一次秘密会谈。根据“who are often seen on TV”可知句子是who引导的定语从句，先行词指人，故此处要用lead的名词leader，表示“领导”；再根据“are”可知，leader要用复数形式。故填leaders。
4. After a few years’ hardwork, he ________(success) to his father’s business.
【答案】succeeded
【解析】句意：经过几年的努力，他继承了他父亲的事业。句中缺少谓语，名词success改为动词succeed“成功”，succeed to sth.“继承……”，动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填succeeded。

4. Mum always told me that a good beginning ________ (make) a good ending.
【答案】makes
【解析】句意：妈妈总是告诉我一个好的开始成就一个好的结局。that引导一个宾语从句，从句是客观观点，应用一般现在时，而主语a good beginning为第三人称单数，故填makes。

六、阅读填空(本大题共5小题.每小题1分，共5分)
先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只能填一个单词。
The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for child called Kiddle has appeared.
Search results are filtered (过滤), so only safe websites are shown and descriptions are written in simple languages. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.
Kiddle uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too—with an extra robot picture.
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are specially written for children in a simple way.
The eighth and onwards results are not written for children. They provide expert content (权威内容) but are harder for kids to understand.
Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures (缩略图) to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for “meow meow”, Google produces pages for information about a drug (毒品) that has “meow meow” as its nickname, but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even some cartoon pictures.
The company explained, “Websites which appear in Kiddle search results meet family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.”
Kiddle-a child-friendly search engine
Characteristics
★Only safe websites are shown.
★Descriptions are written in simple language.
★____1____ bad words appear.
Logo
It uses the same colors as Google with a robot picture.
Content
The top three search results
Websites and pages are written specially for kids, after being well chosen and checked.
The fourth to seventh results

The eighth and onwards results

___4___ from Google
★Kiddle has many thumbnail pictures.
★Kiddle only gives safe information.
Advantages (优点)
Kiddle ___5___ the needs of family-friendly requirements.
【答案】1. Few 2. trusting 3. easy 4. Differences 5. meets
【解析】本文是对Kiddle的介绍。它是一个搜索引擎，它可以屏蔽对儿童有害的信息，引导儿童健康上网，健康成长。
1由第二段最后一句“Searches with bad words are shut off, too.”可知，有不好的词汇的搜索也被关闭了。所以几乎没有不好的词汇出现，修饰可数名词words，表示否定，用few。故填Few。
2由第五段内容可知，第四到七版虽然不是特别为孩子写的，但是有用简易的方式书写的内容，将会安全、值得信任。值得做某事：be worth doing，故填trusting。
3由第六段“They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.”可知他们提供的是专业的内容，但是对于孩子来讲，理解较难。即not easy。故填easy。
4右栏描述的是Kiddle与Google的不同之处。故填Differences。
5根据最后一段“Websites which appear in Kiddle search results meet family-friendly requirements,as we filter websites with unhealthy content”可知出现在Kiddle搜索结果中的网站符合家庭友好的要求，因为我们过滤含有不健康内容的网站。故填“符合/满足”，即meet；此处主语为第三人称单数，故填meets。
七、完成句子
按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。(本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分)
1. 过马路时再怎么小心也不为过。
You _________________________________ when you are getting across the street.
【答案】can’t be too careful
【解析】“再怎么……也不为过”意为“can’t … too …”；“小心”意为“careful”，为形容词，谓语动词应该使用系动词be。故填can’t be too careful。
2. 尽管他参加过几个足球队的选拔，但是几乎没人赏识他的天赋。
_________________________________ several football teams, few people appreciated his gift.
【答案】Although he tried out for##Though he tried out for
【解析】根据中英文对比可知，缺少的英语部分为：尽管他参加过……的选拔，尽管可用although/though；参加选拔可用try out for；主语为he。这里表示的是过去的动作，应该用一般过去时，故填Although/Though he tried out for。
3. 目前保罗已落在他的同学们后面好久了，唯有他认真起来，才能取得进步。
At present Paul _________________________________ for long. He can make progress only if he gets serious.
【答案】has been behind his classmates
【解析】根据题意可知填写“已经落后他的同学”，即be behind his classmates；根据语境可知表示过去的事情已经完成，用现在完成时态，结构为have/has done；主语为第三人称单数，故填has been behind his classmates。
4. 我们根据你的描述找到了那幅图。
We found the picture _________________________________ you describe.
【答案】according to what
【解析】according to根据，to是介词；分析句子可知，you describe作介词宾语，describe“描述”是及物动词，需用what引导宾语从句。故填according to what。
5. 你能告诉我如何在工作和玩耍之间取得平衡吗？
Could you tell me _________________________________ work and play?
【答案】how to achieve a balance between
【解析】疑问词加动词不定式可以作宾语，how to achieve a balance怎么实现平衡；between…and…在……和……之间，故填how to achieve a balance between。
6. 那位科学家的大部分时间都花在进行血液病研究上了。
Most of the scientists’ time is _________________________________ blood diseases.
