20．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．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．

27．The underlined word"in"in the first paragraph probably means"A"．
A．fashionable               
B．a(chǎn)vailable                 
C．practical                 
D．renewable
28．When she got the ring back，the writer was aboutD．
A.13years old              
B.15years old           
C.26years old           
D.28years old
29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A
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．
30．What would be the best title for the passage？B
A．My New Ring                                        
B．Lost and Found
C．Lost and Replaced                                 
D．An Expensive Ring．

分析 本文是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，屬于記敘文，主要講述作者渴望得到了一枚有字母的戒指，但不小心丟失了，在13年后作者又得到了這枚丟失的戒指，失去戒指后又奇跡般的找回的故事．

解答 27．答案：A．詞義猜測題．從后面的句子it seemed every girl except me had one．，除了我好像每個女孩都有這樣的戒指，應(yīng)該是"時尚的"，或者根據(jù)大家都知道的out（過時），可以猜測出來．故選A．
28．答案：D．推理判斷題．從第一段On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials（姓名首字母） carved into it．可知作者在13歲的時候，媽媽給了她戒指做禮物，從第三段two years later，we sold the house and moved away．可知，兩年后，作者家賣了房子，搬走了，從第五段的內(nèi)容The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets．可知在13年后作者又得到了這枚丟失的戒指．這是作者應(yīng)該是28歲找回戒指的，故選D．
29．答案：A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從第四段的第一句話Years passed，and a couple of moves later，可知，作者搬了幾次家．句中的a couple of和A項的several意思相近．故選A．
30．答案：B．主旨大意題．根據(jù)整篇文章的主旨可知：文章主要講述了作者的戒指失而復(fù)得的故事，所以B項 Lost and Found是最好的標(biāo)題．故選B

點評 本文是一篇記敘文，題目涉及詞義猜測題，推理判斷題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，主旨大意題，做題時應(yīng)結(jié)合文章上下文內(nèi)容并根據(jù)所給選項的含義進(jìn)行分析，從而得出正確答案．切記胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

11．Fluency（流利） in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country．In addition，understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language．Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time．?
  Sometimes people f eel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months．People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture，but this is only the first stage of learning．It usually involves（含包） things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs．?
To really understand another culture，people have to go beyond the first stage，This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn．Much of what we call"culture"is hard to see．
  Culture is like an iceberg（冰山）．Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean．The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip．You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water．It is easy to forget that it is there．Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean，just as much of a culture is deep within its people．?
  When you meet someone from another culture，certain culture differences are obvious：You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent．You see different foods，clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people．You observe new customs or habits，such as the use of chopsticks，and，bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting．These differences are interesting and important，but they are usually not too difficult to understand．They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly．?
  The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions（設(shè)想），communication styles，values，and beliefs about what is right and wrong．The hidden part of culture affects much of a person's way of thinkin g and communicating．It is the meaning behind his or her verbal （言語的） and nonverbal language．Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of cultur e．
32．What's the subject of this passage？A
A．Learning about culture．
B．Language learning．

8．Use phones respectfully
You probably spend more time with your smart phone than any other possession．You take it everywhere-to school，to meals，and even to the bathroom，（36）E But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending（冒犯） others around us．Here are some tips for smart phone usage．Take a look．
Use"do not disturb"instead of"vibrate（振動）"
Loud vibrations in your trousers are disturbing．People can hear your phone vibrate，depending on how severely it vibrates．（37）B
Tell others what you're doing
Sometimes，you will be in a situation in which you need to use your smart phone．（38）G If you don't，people will think that you're either communicating with someone else or just getting bored．
（39）A
Respect others'privacy（隱私） as text and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message．While you're at it，use a password to make sure the information you share with others stays between you．
Ask permission to swipe（滑動）
When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo，this doesn't mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums．（40）D

A．Don't use the text preview feature（以…為主要內(nèi)容） on your home screen．
B．It is difficult to ignore and distracts（使分散注意力） people from whatever they are doing．
C．You should use your smart phone secretly．
D．They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you，not every photo they have taken．
E．Of course，a smart phone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events．
F．So it's thrilling to look through all their photos．
G．Just tell people what you're doing and why you're doing it．

9．When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public．Personal information about his children，Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps．
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House，as well as in general．See how the first family educates their children．
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school．
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend，and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week．
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother．
Malia must learn to do laundry before she leaves for college．
The girls have to eat their vegetables，and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later．
While these might be shocking to some，Michelle said，"They're not little princesses．It's just basic rules，boundaries，and expectations that we would have normally．"
Michelle also mentions another set of rules．
The girls must do their chores，though the White House has a large staff．Malia and Sasha have chores of their own．
They must play a team sport，because it's about learning how to play on a team，how to lose and how to win gracefully．
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as    well-rounded as possible．What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules？
21．What's the passage mainly about？A

B．The first family daily life．
C．How to be good parents．
