答案

小题1:A小题2:D小题3:A小题4:B

解析

小题1: A解析 词义猜测题。从文中第一段的第二句“...it emed every girl except me had one.”可知，除了作者外，其他女孩都有一枚戒指，所以答案为A项。小题2: D解析 数字推断题。根据第一段中的“On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring...”，第三段最后一句“And two years later，we sold the hou and moved away.”和第六段第一句“The family who had bought our hou 13 years earlier...”可知作者13岁得到戒指，过了两年她家卖了房子，房子卖了13年后，作者再次得到戒指，故D项符合。小题3: A解析 信息推断题。文中第四段中的“Years pasd，and a couple of moves later...”，可知作者搬了几次家。其他选项均不符合原文。小题4: B解析 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了作者13岁生日时，作者的妈妈送给她一枚戒指。但是，不幸的是，戒指丢了，过了15年竟然意外的被别人找到，所以B项正确。
