What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”.We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one,”she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
小题1:The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means“________”.
A.fashionable | B.available |

A.13 years old | B.15 years old |

A.The writer’s family moved several times. |
B.The writer never stopped looking for her ring. |
C.The writer’s ring was cleaned up by the new house owner. |
D.The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off. |
A.My New Ring | B.Lost and Found |
C.Lost and Replaced | D.An Expensive Ring |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:B
解析
小题1:解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据第一句“当我12岁的时候,我想要一枚图章戒指”,及画线词后面阐述的it seemed every girl except me had one“除了我,几乎每个女孩都有一枚这样的戒指”,可推断in的意思为fashionable“流行的,时髦的”,只有如此才能说明作者期望拥有一枚这样的戒指。选项中其他词的含义为:available有效的,可得到的,可利用的,空闲的;practical实用的;renewable可再生的,可更新的,可继续的。
小题2:解析:选D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知“在我13岁生日的时候,妈妈给了我一枚这样的戒指作为生日礼物”,后来这枚戒指丢了;再根据第三段的最后“两年后我们卖掉了房子”和倒数第二段中“13年前买我们房子的那家人对房子进行装修,换地毯时发现了我丢失的戒指”,由此可计算出作者的戒指失而复得的时间为作者28岁时。
小题3:解析:选A。细节理解题。结合文章第四段Years passed,and a couple of moves later...可知“作者一家搬了好几次家”,因此选项A正确。由第三段知“作者在晚上睡觉前摘下了戒指,第二天早晨就找不到了”,因此选项D错误。由文章倒数第二段最后一句可知C项错误。由第三段倒数第二句可知B项错误。
小题4:解析:选B。主旨大意题。本文以一枚“图章戒指”为线索,记叙了作者这枚戒指失而复得的过程,因此选项B是文章的中心。最大干扰项是D项An Expensive Ring“一枚昂贵的戒指”,这枚戒指仅仅是作者的妈妈送给她的生日礼物,原文并没有说这枚戒指是昂贵的,因此选项D错误。

Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s:both have fulltime careers;both have published books,articles,and stories;each has three children;they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit longhidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

Two 12yearold boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,”Tim recalls(回忆).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so,he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point,I considered turning back,” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the boys,“Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing,but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier(码头),”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward,waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim?”he cried.“A little bit,”the boys said.
Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’faces.
“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again.“Yes,”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes,they reached the pier.

D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella. |
A.They were dragged to the pier by Tim. |
B.They swam to the pier all by themselves. |
C.They were washed to the pier by the waves. |
D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back. |
“So,”Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this place get its name? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,”warned Jack.
“Of course!”cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of,you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”
“Ok,but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack,and he began his tale.
“Way back in time,a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He built that cottage over there to live in.In those days,the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river.After three hard years,Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“‘You are clearing too much land,’warned one old man.‘The land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“‘Silly fool,’said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land,I can grow more crops.I’ll become wealthier.He’s just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened?”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled,twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned,”Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story,”laughed Tom.“Plants can’t...”Before he had finished speaking,he screamed and fainted(晕倒).The other two boys jumped up with fright,staring at Tom.Suddenly,they burst out laughing.Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face.It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

In the teacher’s office,and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions:“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)?Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO,no,it can’t be.What a helpless,lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions,he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class,Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry;“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No,I didn’t speak English at home,I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didn’t want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country,never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”.Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.
As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a welladjusted,contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the“educator”I met in New Jersey.
小题1:The teacher asked the author to his office________.
A.to discuss Scola’s inclass performance |
B.to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten |
C.to find a language partner for Scola |

C.Attending | D.Disturbing |
A.critical B.casual
C.positive D passive
小题4:This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.
A.medicine B.education
C.geography D history
