【解析】本篇短文通过讲述了米莉和艾米去公园聊天，听到灌木丛中好像有人低语而害怕，以为是“鬼”。后来安迪发现这个“鬼”竟是一只小猫。

1.由下文，他们听见树后灌木丛发生的口哨声，可推测他们是在树下聊天。故选A。

2.由上文可知，他们听到声音又没有看到什么不寻常的东西，因此感到害怕， frightened“害怕的”强调人对事物害怕，故选B。而C项frightening 意为“令人害怕的”，强调事或物令人害怕。excited “兴奋的”；exciting “令人兴奋的”。

3.考查复合不定代词。由句意“有人吗”，排除A和B；nobody没有人；everybody每人，人人；anybody一般用于否定句或疑问句，somebody一般用于肯定句，排除D。故选C。

4.由本句后半部分可知，他们又听到了奇怪的声音，可以判定他们仔细地听。listen强调有目的的听，而hear强调听的结果,故选D

5.由本文首句 “...Millie and Amy went to Sunshine Park.”可知，事情发生在公园里，故选D。

6.由句意可知，他们是站在树旁仔细听，故选C。rose上升；slept睡觉; lay躺下。

7.由上文可知，噪音和前面的一样，同类事物再次出现用the。故选B。

8.come from“来自”句意：他们现在不能确定来自灌木丛的声音。故选A。

9.句意：他在灌木丛里发现了一只小猫。smell闻……；look看……；search搜查。

10.句意：it在此指小猫。故选C。
