1.2013福建卷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.1．The underlined word “in”in the first paragraph probably means “________”．A. fashionable B. available C. practical D. renewable2．When she got the ring back, the writer was about ________．A. 13 years oldB. 15 years oldC. 26 years oldD. 28 years old 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 RingB. Lost and FoundC. Lost and ReplacedD. An Expensive Ring参考答案:1. A 2. D 3. A 4. B2.安徽合肥质检My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room.I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then. That memo ry just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.1.

Our children were upstairs unpacking，and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more ，and caught up in the business of our new life ，I eventually forgot about his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window，I saw a dot of blue across the yard.I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花）throughout the front lawn 一blue, yellow and my favorite pink ，with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花）each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance：Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses ，so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a sp ring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow ，bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.1.According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ______.A．it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise was.B．the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise.C．it was not the first time that the author’s father had made a surprise.D．the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.B．The author’s father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.C．The author often thought about her father after he died.D．The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.3.The author’s father should be best described as ______.A．a part-time worker who loved flowersB．a kind-hearted man who lived with faithC．a full-time gardener with skillful handsD．an ordinary man with doubts in his life4.What can be the best title for the passage?A．Crocuses — My Source of Faith B．Crocuses—Father’s SurpriseC．A Pink Crocus — My Memory D．Crocuses in Blossom — My Fav答案：1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A4.2013山西太原三模MARCH 05, 2013TOKYO (AFP)—A father froze to death while sheltering his nine-year-old daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan.
