Ⅳ.阅读理解
Lying in the sun on a rock，the cougar(美洲狮)saw Jeb and his son，Tom，before they saw it.Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands，making himself look big to the cougar.It worked.The cougar hesitated，ready to attack Jeb，but ready to forget the whole thing，too.
Jeb let go of his jacket，grasped Tom and held him across his body，making a cross.Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger，and it rose up，ready to move away，but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom，no！”shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar.The second Tom broke free，Jeb threw himself on the cougar，just as it jumped from the rock.They hit each other in midair and both fell.The cougar was on Jeb in a flash，forgetting about Tom，which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws (爪子) got into his left shoulder. Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled (吼叫) and put its head back，Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom.” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to
Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.

3．(内在美)不是随意一瞥就能欣赏得到的，也远比外在美重要得多。
It took him three hours to finish his homework.
Ⅲ.1.B [句意为：依照玛格丽特·沃尔夫·亨格福特的观点，人们对美没有一致的观点。connected有联系的；consistent一致的，始终如一的；related有联系的，有关系的；relevant有关的，切题的；由句意知B符合句意。]
2．C [句意为：人们毕生的责任，甚至社会自身的存亡都取决于人们对美的不同层面和深度的认识。commitment“承诺，责任，义务”符合句意。]
3．D [句意为：假如我们只能够用一套有限的标准来衡量美，人类不久将灭绝。die of死于；die away声音，风等渐息；die down慢慢熄灭；die out灭绝。所以D项符合题意。]
4．C [句意为：这种特殊的魅力存在于不同的人格个性中。division划分，分开；area区域；range种类，范围，a range of...一系列……；circle圆圈。只有C项符合题意。]
5．B [句意为：内在美才真正需要我们注意。考查强调句“It is...that...”。]
6．B [句意为：(内在美)不只是随意一瞥就能欣赏得到的，也远比外在美重要得多。more than＋n.“不仅仅，不只”符合句意。]
7．C [由语境可知，本题是考查used to的一般疑问句。used to为半情态动词，其一般疑问句可以用“Did sb.use to...？”或“Used sb.to...？”由此可排除A、B两项。若选D项，则应该在he后加use，因此只能选C项。]
8．B [本题考查be superior to “比……优越”的用法。句意为：这家西餐厅比我们上星期去的那家好。]
9．C [句意为：过去，在一些文化中，人们把文身用作服装的点缀，以此表现家族联系，或者给罪犯打上印记以易于分辨。use...as...把……当作……使用。]
10．B [It takes sb.some time to do sth.做某事花费某人多少时间，故选B项。]
Ⅳ.1.B [由第一段第二句可知Jeb拉开上衣让自己看上去更高大一些，这样做是为了吓跑美洲狮。]
2．D [由第四段第一句话“But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar.”可知，汤姆挣脱了爸爸的手开始跑，这是你在对付一只美洲狮时最不适合做的事。由此我们知：美洲狮喜欢袭击正在跑的人。the last thing“最不适合(应该)的事”。]
3．A [由倒数第二段第一句话可知。]
4．D [四个选项发生的时间顺序为D—B—A—C。]
