Question

(2013·高考福建卷，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 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.

2.2】解析：選D。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知“在我13歲生日的時候，媽媽給了我一枚這樣的戒指作為生日禮物”，后來這枚戒指丟了；再根據(jù)第三段的最后“兩年后我們賣掉了房子”和倒數(shù)第二段中“13年前買我們房子的那家人對房子進行裝修，換地毯時發(fā)現(xiàn)了我丟失的戒指”，由此可計算出作者的戒指失而復得的時間為作者28歲時。

3.3】解析：選A。細節(jié)理解題。結合文章第四段Years passed，and a couple of moves later...可知“作者一家搬了好幾次家”，因此選項A正確。由第三段知“作者在晚上睡覺前摘下了戒指，第二天早晨就找不到了”，因此選項D錯誤。由文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知C項錯誤。由第三段倒數(shù)第二句可知B項錯誤。

4.4】解析：選B。主旨大意題。本文以一枚“圖章戒指”為線索，記敘了作者這枚戒指失而復得的過程，因此選項B是文章的中心。最大干擾項是D項An Expensive Ring“一枚昂貴的戒指”，這枚戒指僅僅是作者的媽媽送給她的生日禮物，原文并沒有說這枚戒指是昂貴的，因此選項D錯誤。
