" Wanted: A violin. Can’t pay much. Call…" The ad in the newspaper made me remember my childhood. Because my family was 36 , I couldn’t have a violin. So I asked, "Daddy, may I have a 37 ?" Daddy’s face looked sad. But a few weeks later, Daddy went home with a case in his hand. Inside the case was a second—hand violin for seven dollars.

本文讲述的是一把小提琴的故事。首先写报纸上的一则广告引起“我”对童年的回忆:当时“我”家境贫寒,无钱买小提琴,可爸爸还是设法给我买了一把,甭提我有多激动了,买小提琴的第二天我就带它去上课了。然后又回到这则广告,根据上面的电话号码,给那人打了电话。“我”只要了7美元,那人简直不敢相信这是真的。原来那人也是给女儿买的,我希望她女儿也像我当时一样喜爱小提琴。 小题1:B。从上下文来看,“我”家当时很穷(poor),不能拥有小提琴。 小题1:C。“爸爸,我可以有我自己的一把小提琴(violin)吗?” 小题1:B。从上下文可知,当时“我”家里很穷,可爸爸还是给我买了一把小提琴,尽管是旧的,但是“没有人知道我当时心里有多激动”。 小题1:B。我的小提琴随我进行每一次搬迁,而且我小心保管着它。put away 意为“存放,搁起来”。 小题1:D。for表示“由于”。现在由于这则广告。 小题1:D。从后面的 … walked to the telephone and called by means of the number 可知,“我”是拿着报纸去打电话(因为报纸上有电话号码)。 小题1:A。句意为:我女儿非常想要一把小提琴。badly 在此意为“非常,很”。 小题1:C。从下文我重复“7 美元”可知选C。 小题1:A。repeat重复。我重复并补充道。 小题1:D。happy快乐。拥有它,我希望你女儿将会快乐。 |
