    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.When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.

    A.13 years old B.15 years old

    C.26 years old D.28 years old

    2.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.

    3.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found

    C.Lost and Replaced D.An Expensive Ring

    We may not be aware of it, but ordinary family homes in the U.S. and the rest of the world are not energy-efficient.

    Most of their energy goes to heating and cooling, and a lot of it is wasted, as warm air and cool air escape through fireplace chimneys and thin or poorly fitting windows and doors. A passive house loses almost none."Imagine a thermos(保温瓶),"said housing developer Brendan O’Neill."You have insulation(隔绝) everywhere, and it’s basically completely sealed. And so the idea is to build a house like a thermos. So the windows are sealed. There’s insulation completely surrounding the building. We make it as sealed as possible."

    A 147-square-meter passive house, presented by O’Neill Development Corp. as a demonstration unit just outside Washington, was brought to the site in two boxes. "Once it’s set and put together, it takes about four weeks to complete the outside construction, to put down carpets," O’Neill said. "If everything is set in place, you put a house like this together in about four months.”The total cost of building it was $325,000, or about 17 percent more than constructing an ordinary house. But its utility(公用事业) bill is only around $20 monthly, or one-tenth the amount for the average house of the same size.

    While passive houses have been around for a long time, the idea has never taken root in the U.S. There was no driving force to push it.

    However, David Peabody, an architect who designs passive houses said, "I think climate change is now becoming a larger issue. And I think building standards are catching on to that. So people are becoming more aware of energy."Peabody said the cost of building passive houses could come down."What really makes sense for truly affordable housing," he said, "is to build multi-storey buildings."

    1.Why aren’t ordinary family homes energy-efficient?

    A. Building them wastes much energy.

    B. Their energy mainly goes to heating and cooling.

    C. Their sealing performance is poor.

    D. They have no insulation around at all.

    2.What is the feature of a passive house?

    A. There’re no windows or chimneys.

    B. There’s little space to place furniture.

    C. Its building cost is relatively high.

    D. It takes about four weeks to build one.

    3.What’s David Peabody’s attitude to the future of the passive house?

    A. Cautious.B. Optimistic.C. Skeptical.D. Concerned.

    The journey two divers made some time ago to the deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents(水流) or signs of life.

    It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.

    The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers (层) of water. In time the temperature dropped to the freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise. Even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none was worse for their experience.

    1.The purpose of the divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find _______.

    A. if there are water currents, and life in the great depths

    B. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depths

    C. if there are steps in the great depths

    D. if the telephone works well in the great depths

    2.The divers set out early in the morning so that .

    A. they could avoid the cold at night

    B. they could see at the bottom of the ocean

    C. they could return to the surface during the day

    D. they could stay long at the bottom

    3.As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone .

    A. kept working all the time

    B. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again when they returned to the same depth

    C. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again at 30,000 feet

    D. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottom

    4.On the ocean floor, the divers found that .

    A. there was no life but some small dead sea creatures

    B. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surface

    C. fish were not swimming freely in the dark water

    D. fish were not swimming freely under the high water pressure
