Ⅲ．阅读理解
（A）
A black and white kitten with a broken back lay on animal doctor Betsy Kennon’s examination table. A regular customer had rushed him to her office after his pet dog brought the cat home in his mouth. The dog’s owner was horrified, believing that his pet had caused the cat’s injuries. But Kennon found no teeth marks or bite wounds, which showed that the dog had probably saved, not harmed, the kitten.
In Kennon’s opinion, however, the cat was a hopeless case. Many doctors would have put down such a badly hurt animal. But she couldn’t be so cruel. The kitten’s bright eyes and sad face had won her over. There was no way of finding his owner, so Kennon, a single woman aged 56, decided to keep him.
She gave him a round of shots and fed him food mixed with medicines. He couldn’t move his back legs but soon started pulling himself forward with his front legs. The doctor named him Scooter and contacted a company that makes carts for disabled animals. Scooter took to his new wheels like a natural. In no time he was able to move freely, if somewhat awkwardly, around Kennon’s office, home and even her backyard. The sight of the determined Scooter was uplifting and amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile each time the cat entered the room.
Kennon was convinced that her kitten could share his high spirits with others. So she took Scooter to the local hospital to see if he could help the patients. His first patient was an elderly woman who’d had a stroke and hadn’t spoken to anyone for two days. Scooter jumped out of Kennon’s arms and onto the bed, rolled over to the patient, and lay gently near her cheek, purring softly. The woman looked at Scooter. “Kitty, ” she murmured as she began to talk to him. Amazed, Kennon turned to the doctor—and saw that she was in tears. The cat had engineered a small miracle.
Today Scooter spends about ten hours a month working with patients who are recovering from strokes and injuries. Again and again, Kennon watches as her cat provides hope and comfort. As one patient who’d lost her leg in a car accident said, “If he can do it, so can I. ”
1. From Paragraph 1, we know that _______ .
A. the dog’s owner was a stranger to Kennon
B. the cat had several bite marks on its body
C. the dog was extremely cruel to the cat
D. who actually injured the cat was unknown
2. The underlined phrase “put down” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____ .
A. hurt
B. killed
C. refused
D. replaced
3. Why did Kennon decide to keep the cat?
A. She wanted a companion.
B. The cat’s owner abandoned him.
C. She liked the cat.
D. The cat was hopeless.
4. According to the passage, what is the main reason that the cat works miracle?
A. He is able to inspire others.
B. Patients feel sympathy for him.
C. People are amused by his appearance.
D. He has the ability to cure the ill.
(B)
Finding your first job after leaving school，college or university is probably the hardest job hunting exercise you’ll ever face. However, there are some simple methods that can give you advantages over other first time job seekers.
First time job seekers have the hardest time in finding their first job. In the case of graduates, many universities will have dedicated placement personnel who will assist students in finding their first job. Specialist tutors are also likely to have a network of individuals in the commercial world who might occasionally take on recent graduates, so never underestimate the help that you can get from this area. It’s always worth asking your fellow students where they spent any job placement years and you can see if it’s worth approaching any of those companies. People generally like to help others, so don’t be afraid to ask for any assistance that you can get freely like this.
Similarly, if school and college leavers have an interest in a particular subject, they should talk to their teacher or lecturer in that subject and discuss career options. It could be that they could point you in the right direction by at least identifying companies that could use your particular skills.
The problem that many younger people have is that they simply don’ t know what they want to do once they have finished their education. Therefore, it’s important for anyone leaving education to understand their own strengths and to determine what their particular skills are. The student job seekers should put a CV (履历) together based on what they’d like the employer to consider. Highlight your education, but instead of focusing on the actual qualifications and talk about the amount of learning that was involved. If you have completed any kind of work during your student work, be certain to mention it and what you gained from it.
Although a CV isn’t the only factor in helping you find your first job, it’s still a potential door-opener, so you should make it a document that is a compelling sales tool for you.

A. graduates often underestimate the help from specialist tutors
B. it is definite that first time job seekers will fail several times
C. a first time job seeker needn’t emphasize his education while looking for jobs
D. it is important for first time job seekers to learn some simple methods
6. While looking for their first job, graduates are advised to refer to _________ .
A. specialist tutors and their parents
B. managers of different companies
C. specialist tutors and their fellow students
D. placement personnel and employers
7. Why is it important for school and college leavers to determine their particular skills?
A. Because it can help them find a job suitable for them.
B. Because their teachers will ask them to talk about the skills.
C. Because their lecturers will give them a lecture about the skills.
D. Because most of them don’t know about their particular skills.

A. Overcome difficulties in finding jobsB. Find your first job

Ⅱ. 1.【解析】选C。句意：他看到有一股岩浆朝他袭来，要把他团团围住，但他还是及时躲开了。surround“包围；围绕”，符合题意。measure“测量；估量”；float “浮动；（使）漂浮”；crash“碰撞；坠落”。
【变式备选】
①When I got home，I found my son was playing on the carpet，by all kinds of toys.
A．surroundingB．surrounded
C．surrounds D．having surrounded
【解析】选B。由句子结构可知此处应使用非谓语动词，可排除C项。再由my son与surround之间是被动关系可排除A、D两项。此处是过去分词作状语，故选B。
②—Where did you live as a child?—A village ________ by hills on three sides.
A. was surrounded
B. surrounding
C. surrounded
D. to be surrounded
【解析】选C。由句意可知，答语是I lived in a village surrounded by hills on three sides. 的省略。
【知识拓展】如何使用非谓语作定语
过去分词、现在分词的被动式、不定式的被动式都可以作定语，试用一句话比较一下它们的区别：
discussed yesterday.
This is the problem being discussed now.
to be discussed tomorrow.
由此可以看出：过去分词表完成，现在分词的被动式表进行，不定式的被动式表将来。
注意：现在分词的被动完成式也表示被动和完成，但一般不用作定语，主要作状语，现就现在分词的被动完成式与过去分词作状语，作如下对比：
现在分词的被动完成式表示先于谓语动词所表示的动作而发生的被动动作，而过去分词所表示的动作，有时发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前，有时与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，有时表示未来的被动动作或状态。例如：
（Having been）Used for a long time, the watch needs to be mended. 用了很长时间，这块表需要修理。
Used in this way, the word shouldn’t be taken as a verb.
如果这样用，这个词不能用作动词。
2. 【解析】选C。考查measure 的用法。句意：多么大的一条蛇啊！它量起来有1. 5米长。measure 表示“量起来”，是不及物动词，无被动语态，一般不用于进行时，故选C。
