Ⅲ.1.D [句意为:当然,所有的猫都是那样的。尽管如此,威尔还是非常渴望回家,以至于热泪盈眶。behave表现,举止,符合句意。]
2.C [still强调“一动不动”,符合句意。calm指“冷静,不要太激动”;quiet安静;silent不出声,安静。]
3.A [without doubt毫无疑问地,符合句意。]
4.C [what he saw在此处是主语从句,在句子中担当主语;what引导名词性从句,在此处意为“什么,所……的”。that,this不引导主语从句,which是在给定的范围中选择一个。]
5.B [find sb/oneselfdoing发现某人/自己正……,doing是现在分词作宾补和宾语是逻辑上的主谓关系。]
6.A [考查固定搭配,in shape在形状上。]

Ⅳ.1.C [推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话可知,他对古英语很熟悉,而不是精通非洲各地的语言,故选C项而排除D项。]
2.D [细节理解题。由第四段第一句话可知,Hobbit是Tolkien创造出来的一个名词,用来指比正常人矮一半的人,即侏儒(dwarves)。]
3.B [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,出版商Stanley Unwin让他的儿子看The Hobbit并评价。他的儿子看过后觉得很好,于是Unwin便出版了The Hobbit。因此B项正确,即Stanley Unwin的儿子在The Hobbit的出版过程中起的作用最大。]
4.A [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了《指环王》和它的作者的情况。]
