【題目】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. hen 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】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

2Which 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.

3What would be the best title for the passage?

A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found

C.Lost and Replaced D.An Expensive Ring

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

試題分析:本文為一篇記敘文,記敘了作者自己所珍愛的一枚“圖章戒指”失而復得的故事。

【1】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知“在我13歲生日的時候,媽媽給了我一枚這樣的戒指作為生日禮物”,后來這枚戒指丟了;再根據(jù)第三段的最后“兩年后我們賣掉了房子”和倒數(shù)第二段中“13年前買我們房子的那家人對房子進行裝修,換地毯時發(fā)現(xiàn)了我丟失的戒指”,由此可計算出作者的戒指失而復得的時間為作者28歲時。

【2】A細節(jié)理解題。結合文章第四段Years passed,and a couple of moves later...可知“作者一家搬了好幾次家”,因此選項A正確。由第三段知“作者在晚上睡覺前摘下了戒指,第二天早晨就找不到了”,因此選項D錯誤。由文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知C項錯誤。由第三段倒數(shù)第二句可知B項錯誤。

【3】B主旨大意題。本文以一枚“圖章戒指”為線索,記敘了作者這枚戒指失而復得的過程,因此選項B是文章的中心。最大干擾項是D項An Expensive Ring“一枚昂貴的戒指”,這枚戒指僅僅是作者的媽媽送給她的生日禮物,原文并沒有說這枚戒指是昂貴的,因此選項D錯誤。

【學法指導】

抓住文章主線和關鍵詞語,歸納文章中心。要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句,有時主題句暗含在句中。閱讀這樣的文章,就需要自己根據(jù)文章的細節(jié)來分析,概括出段落的主題,從而推導出文章的主旨。分析的方法是:先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾方面的內容,這些內容在邏輯上有什么聯(lián)系,然后加以歸納形成主題!3】B主旨大意題。本文以一枚“圖章戒指”為線索,記敘了作者這枚戒指失而復得的過程,因此選項B是文章的中心。最大干擾項是D項An Expensive Ring“一枚昂貴的戒指”,這枚戒指僅僅是作者的媽媽送給她的生日禮物,原文并沒有說這枚戒指是昂貴的,因此選項D錯誤。

Albert Einstein offered us more than just the amazing theory of relativity and E=mc2. Through his persistence in his discoveries in science, Einstein shined a light on how each of us can do the impossible by working hard, experiencing failure,and valuing people. 【1】 _

“If you can’t explain it to a six years old, you don’t understand it yourself.”—Albert Einstein

●Work Towards the Impossible

“Only those who attempt the absurd(荒謬的) can achieve the impossible.”—Albert Einstein

If it seems ridiculous to others and you are willing to take the risk, then you are able to achieve the impossible. 4 You complete what was once an obstacle.

●Value People

“Life isn’t worth living; unless it is lived for someone else.”—Albert Einstein

If you put people first, they will value you and consider you a person who genuinely cares about others. 5 Show them that you value them. hank them and send compliments their way. It will not only make their day better, but they will appreciate it and remember what you have done for them.

A.Spend at least a few minutes out of your busy day talking with people without any distraction.

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. 【1】 So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. 2 However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills differ. Some children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. 3 The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in

life. 4 It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully step by step. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to repair them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. 5 And that is more important.

A. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

B. The more cost in education, the better the result will be.

C. Cooking requires patience and time.

D. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are badly off for self-respect and self-confidence.

E. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

F. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.

G. Thus, the more the children use the computer, the better the result will be.

【題目】I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus ()the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher(偷獵者)months before.

Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at onceit doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefitbut I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

1While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.

A. knew the elephant was injured

B. found the elephant acted violently

C. tried their best to save the elephant

D. thought the elephant was in good condition

2Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.

A. had suffered an hour or two

B. was killed by a poisonous needle

C. had suffered a lot

D. had had a good fight with a poacher

3How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?

A. empty. B. comfortable. C. upset. D. relieved.

4Why did the author write the text?

A. To introduce African elephant.

B. To show the cruelty of poaching.

C. To describe his filming experience.

D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.
