The Story of the Carrot and the Ring

Have you ever lost something that was precious to you, and thought you'd never see it again? That's what

happened to Mary Grams.

Mary had worn her engagement ring for more than half a century when she 13． lost it. She was working in

her garden on the family farm one day, pulling out a plant. And that was probably when the ring came off her finger.

When she discovered it was missing, she searched everywhere for it for days, before finally 14． up.

Mary realized she probably wasn't going to 15． the ring again. So she decided not to tell anyone about

what had happened, apart from her son. Instead, she thought she would replace it with a much cheaper ring from a

jeweller's. Luckily, she managed to buy another one that 16． just like it. In fact, it was so similar that no one

else in her family even knew her original ring was missing.

But the story has a happy ending. Mary eventually got her engagement ring back —13 years after it was lost! One

day Mary's daughter-in-law Colleen was working in the same 17． where Mary had been all those years ago.

She was digging up vegetables there when she discovered the ring. But this time it was a bit 18． —because

there was a carrot growing right through the middle of it!

As soon as Colleen saw the ring, she knew immediately who the 19． was. The farm had been in the family

for over 100 years. And only two women had lived there in all that time. So when Colleen discovered the story of the

lost ring, it became clear there was only one person it could possibly have belonged to, and the ring was returned to

Mary.

Mary decided to remove her ring from the carrot and 20． it again. So she carefully cut the carrot in half.

Then the ring was washed, and Mary put it back on her finger—and it still fitted perfectly!

13．A．suddenly B．naturally C．quietly D．happily

14．A．waking B．giving C．tidying D．standing

15．A．steal B．make C．copy D．find

16．A．smelt B．kept C．looked D．sounded

17．A．garden B．park C．office D．kitchen

3 18．A．dangerous B．simple C．different D．smooth

19．A．producer B．owner C．inventor D．visitor

20．A．weigh B．forget C．fix D．wear

三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分）

An Accidental Invention

21．

Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world, was invented by accident? Many people believe that

tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea

as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the

water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious,

and so, one of the world's favorite drinks was invented.

22．

A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book

describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced

and what kinds of water were used.
