Mystery (疑案小說(shuō))

"You're a smart boy. Benny's death was no accident, and you're the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?" The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again.

A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, "Did you …You recognized the man in the car, didn't you?"

The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, "Maybe," he said quietly.

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.

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 (東西) 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 gift-giving 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.

1..The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".

A. fashionable B. available

C. practical D. renewable

2..When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.

A. 13 years old B. 15 years old

C. 26 years old D. 28 years old

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

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.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My New Ring B. Lost and Found

C.Lost and Replace D.An Expensive Ring

Nick Hancock hopes to set a new record by living alone for 60 days on a small island in the Atlantic.

Tom McClean, an SAS soldier who holds the solo record for occupying(占領(lǐng)) Rockall for 40 days in 1985, told Hancock that being alone for two months was the greatest challenge Hancock would have to face.

“I’m fully expecting it to be tough,” Nick Hancock said. “I’m hoping that by doing my daily tasks fairly slowly, I’m going to be able to keep most of my time busy. I think the worst times will come if I’m boxed up for several days by bad weather.”

Hancock hopes to land on Rockall in early June and will carry out the last tests of his boat next week. He has a small wind turbine(風(fēng)電機(jī)) and a solar panel for power, more than two months’ food, a satellite phone and a laptop loaded with e-books to keep him going. Hancock will update an adventure blog, texting messages out on Twitter and emailing his wife Pam and friends every day.

Rockall has been occupied before, most famously by McClean but also by three Greenpeace campaigners, who set the long-stay record of 42 days in 1997 by occupying the rock in protest at oil and gas exploration in the area.

The last human inhabitants Hancock knows of are a small group of Belgian amateur radio enthusiasts, who are interested in broadcasting from distant islands; they were on Rockall overnight in late 2010.

Hancock has no large support team behind him. Except for the coastguard（海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)）, his only lifeline will be the Orca III, the passenger boat which will take him to Rockall.

1.Nick Hancock’s main goal is to ______.

A. protest at oil and gas exploration in the Atlantic

B. show his ability to adapt himself to bad conditions

C. prove broadcasting from distant islands can be possible

D. challenge the previous record of living alone on Rockall

2.According to Tom McClean, the biggest challenge Hancock would meet was_____.

A. loneliness B. bad weather

C. lack of food D. communication

3.To keep his time busy on Rockall, Hancock will_____.

A. do his daily tasks slowly

B. write a book

C. think of his wife

D. surf online

4.How will Hancock get to Rockall?

A. On the coastguard’s boat

B. On a passenger boat

C. On his own plane

D. On a passenger plane

5.We can learn from the passage that_______.

A. Tom McClean was the first person to set foot on Rockall

B. Hancock will rely on his large support team

C. Rockall is not suitable for humans to settle on

D. Hancock was already a famous online writer before making the plan
