第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet （图章） 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 （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 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.

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

A.renewable B. available C. practical D. fashionable

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

A. 13 years old B. 26 years old C. 15 years old D. 28 years old

23.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.

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

A. My New Ring B. An Expensive Ring

C. Lost and Replaced D. Lost and Found

B

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia （怀旧）. It’s fun to come

home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home

is where we can remember pain, love, and some other experiences; We parted here; My
