(2024·福建，A)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 giftgiving 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.
【解題導語】 文章記述了作者12歲時媽媽送她的生日禮物，一個圖章戒指失而復得的故事。
1．The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A．fashionable
B．a(chǎn)vailable
C．practical
D．renewable
答案 A [詞義猜測題。從文中第一段的第二句“...it seemed every girl except me had one.”可知，除了作者外，其他女孩都有一枚戒指，所以答案為A項。]
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
答案 D [數(shù)字推斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring...”，第三段最后一句“And two years later，we sold the house and moved away.”和第六段第一句“The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier...”可知作者13歲得到戒指，過了兩年她家賣了房子，房子賣了13年后，作者再次得到戒指，故D項符合。]
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 Replaced
D．An Expensive Ring
答案 B [標題歸納題。本文主要講述了作者13歲生日時，作者的媽媽送給她一枚戒指。但是，不幸的是，戒指丟了，過了15年竟然意外的被別人找到，所以B項正確。]
Ⅳ.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job？”__1__.
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the doortodoor approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. __2__. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place.__3__.
__4__. If the lad had gone home to ponder(考慮)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. __5__. And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.
A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
C. It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisements in newspapers
D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults.
F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.
