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 （雕刻）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 everythingso 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 cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.

An Expensive RingBHaving returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me 12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “e into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd.How could he have made such a careless mistake. He shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey? ” “Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!” “Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet. Of course, shes only three.” “Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam, ”he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you? ” “Er, well.”the woman looked at the child.” “I mean.she hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.” “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs.let me see.13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe 1.50.The law is the law, but since the fault was mine.” The woman stood up, took the childs hand and left the office. 25. The woman was angry because _. A. she couldnt use the ticket for her round trip B. she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned C. she spent more money than she had expected D. Harry had sold her a one-way ticket but charged her for a return 26. Harry started talking to the little girl_.

A. they must follow the law, even though the fault was his B. the woman had to pay him 1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotelC. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didnt want toD. she should pay 1.50, but since he had made a mistake, she could go without paying 28.

A. she wanted to go home and get money for the childs ticket B. she was so angry that she didnt want to have anything more to do with the young man C. she was moved by Harrys kindness D. she knew she would have to pay 1.50 if she insistedCFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “e on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “Youll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, Im not alone in my opinion. First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasnt just the first week; it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? I dont jog any more, and I dont think I ever will. Im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. Im getting exercise, and Im enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and Ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.29. The underlined word “them” (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. heart attacks B. back problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses30. What was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He was strongly against it. B. He was very fond of it.C. He felt it was worth a try. D. He thought it must be painful.31. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside. B . He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.32. From the writers experience, we can conclude that_.A. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit B. he is the only person who hates joggingC. not everyone enjoys joggingD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sportDYour glasses may someday replace your smart phone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city cant wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include. Id use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open, said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smart phone-like glasses will likely e out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smart phones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about ones surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators(指示灯) would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and e into view right on the sidewalk in front of you. As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isnt something anybody needs, said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo. Were used to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things, he added, and the ordinary consumer isnt going to be able to afford another device (装置) thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smart phone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as mon as smart phones.Its just like smart phones 10 years ago, Weintraub said. A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smart phones, and its unnatural, he said. Theres going to be improvements to that, and this a step there. 33. One of the possible functions of the smart phone-like glasses is to _.A.program the opening hours of a bar B.supply you with a picture of the futureC.provide information about your surroundingsD.update the maps and GPS in your smart phones34.According to Sam Biddle, the smart phone-like glasses are _.A. expensive for ordinary consumers B. attractive to New YorkersC. available to people worldwide D. necessary for teenagers35.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smart phone-like glasses _.A. will be improved by a new technology B. are as mon as smart phonesC. are popular among young adults D. may have a potential market 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。选项中有两项为多余选项。What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More RespectAs teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits(特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 36 By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.Contribute to the householdAt the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 37 All housework that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that youre old enough, why shouldnt you contribute to the household? 38 Be responsible 39 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.Solve more of your own problem without asking for helpInstead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help.

By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.C. The people doing the housework before will greatly appreciate the help.D.

So I want to tell you something about the problems caused by it.I consider the problems more and more serious for the following reasons. First of all, as is known to us, pets make too much noise that trouble residents a lot. Whats more, its widely accepted that animal wastes pollute the environment, which makes people quite unfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public places where they may frighten children or even sometimes bite people. The most important is that pets can spread some disease and this has attracted much attention.Taking all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media to do something for it.Yours faithfully,Li Hua
