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 lo st 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.56．The underlined word “in”in the first paragraph probably means “________”．A. fashionableB. availableC. practicalD. renewable57．When she got the ring back, the writer was about ________．A. 13 years oldB. 15 years oldC. 26 years oldD. 28 years old58．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.59．What would be the best title for the passage?A.

Here are some examples of rudeness.Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.68．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A．People can tell good from bad behavior.B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.C．People care little about their behavior.D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.69．Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________．A．they are becoming less patientB．they are growing too independentC．they have to handle many important messagesD．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward70．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________．A．ridiculous B．disgustingC．acceptable D．reasonable【要点综述】科技的发展改变了人们的生活方式。

I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading BarackObama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”．However，he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Da y's “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out)，I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either )and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in－depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella(ah，the big sellers，in other words)．Forty－two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)．64．How did the author find his friend a book liar?A．By judging his manner of speaking.B．By looking into his background.C．By mentioning a famous name.D．By discussing the book itself.65．Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top－ten list.B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C．The author admitted having read 9 books.D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.66．By lying about reading，a person hopes to ________．A．control the conversationB．appear knowledgeableC．learn about the bookD．make more friends67．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Doubtful.D．Friendly.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。

Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old 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.60．Why did the two boys go to the sea?A.

He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.60．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________．A．written about New YorkersB．composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countrysideD．performed in various ways61．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A．It attracted more people to theatres.B．It proved jazz could be serious music.C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.62．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works.B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger.C．He argued with French critics.D．He changed his music style.63．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Talented and productive.B．Serious and boring.C．Popular and unhappy.D．Friendly and honest.【要点综述】这是一篇人物传记。
