Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
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 wasnt being
“replaced”. Wed 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 wed 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 wasnt my birthday,
nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift
giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning
look. “Youll 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. Theyd had it professionally cleane
d up
—391—
by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.

C. 26 D. 28
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to
the passage?

house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when
she took it off.

Each year people are crazy about different
ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look
special and different. But for Melody,it looked so
unique because of the classmate who graduated
alongside her—her grandmother,75yearold Pat
Ormond. They both went to the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC)and graduated
together.
Pat took her first college class 42 years ago.
After one semester,she dropped out to move to
Chattanooga,where she spent the next several
decades working as an accountant and raising a
family. While she did take an occasional class at
UTC,she says her family continued to encourage
her to go back to finish her degree,especially
after she retired. She agreed when her
granddaughter decided to move to study
psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College.
They both entered UTC with enough college
credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as
part of UTCs 2020 class. The achievement has also
made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like
Melody and her grandmother,Pat Ormond,in the
UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC
Chancellor. “Together, they personify the
determination,commitment and love for lifelong
learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to
other nontraditional college students who want to
get their degrees. “Learning never stops,”Pat
said.“Thats something that my father taught me
when I was young. No matter what you do,
learning never stops.”
Pat isnt planning to stop
—491—
anytime soon. Shes already working on another
degree—a bachelors degree in history.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is
hunting jobs,is interested in getting a masters
degree in clinical psychology so she can become a
lawyer. But she says shes in no rush. Her nanna
has taught her that she has plenty of time.
5. Why was Melodys graduation ceremony so
special?
A. Because her grandmother graduated
alongside her.
B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.
C. Because it looked quite different from
others.
D. Because she celebrated it with all her
classmates.
6. What can we know about Pats family?
A. They are anxious to be celebrities.
B. They prefer attending nontraditional colleges.
C. They never stop creating opportunities.
D. They support and encourage each other.
7. What does the underlined word “personify”in
Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Repeat. B. Represent.
C. Identify. D. Follow.
8. Which of the following can best describe Pat
Ormonds story?
A. Love me,love my dog.
B. Passion gives life power.
C. A good beginning is half done.
D. Its never too late to learn.

【语篇解读】本文为记叙文,作者13岁生日
时得到了一枚刻有她姓名首字母的戒指作
为生日礼物,但是后来弄丢了。多年之后,
当年买房子的人又找到了她的戒指并还给
了她。
1. A 词义猜测题。根据后面的“it seemed every

故选A项。fashionable“时尚的”;available“有
效的,可利用的”;practical“实用的”;renew
able“可再生的”。
2. D 推理判断题。作者13岁生日时得到了这
枚戒指,2年后搬家离开,13年后当初买房子
的人把戒指还给她,所以这时作者应是28岁。
故选D项。
3. A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Years pas
sed,and a couple of moves later爥”可知,作者家
搬了好几次家。故选A项。
4. B 标题归纳题。本文讲述的是作者把戒指
丢了,但是多年之后当初买房子的人又找到

her family continued to encourage her to go back
to finish her degree,especially after she retired
(虽然她偶尔会在UTC上一门课,但她说,她
的家人继续鼓励她回去完成学位,特别是在

鼓励。故选D。
7. B 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“But for
Melody,it looked so unique because of the
classmate who graduated alongside her—her
grandmother,75yearold Pat Ormond.”和上文

and her grandmother,Pat Ormond,in the UTC

已经过时。dividing line意为“分界线”。
7. C 句意:毕竟,许多年长的人直到75岁后才
经历身体和精神的衰退。stress “压力”;dam
