网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：
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。
