Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small 1 (carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a 2 (shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

Pahlsson screamed 3 loudly that her daughter came running from the house. ＂She thought I had hurt 4 (I),＂says Pahlsson.

Sixteen years 5 (early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring 6 (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters — then ten, eight, and six—had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn’t. Pahlsson and her husband 7 (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. ＂I gave up hope of finding my ring again,＂ she says. She never replaced it.

Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got 8 (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, 9 it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was 10 wonder.

【10】a

【解析】

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Lena Pahlsson在花园里拔胡萝卜时，找到了丢失已久的结婚戒指的故事。

【1】 考查名词。根据＂a handful of ＂可知要用carrot的复数形式，故填carrots。

【2】 考查形容词。a为冠词，object为名词，横线处应填写形容词。故填shiny或shining。

【3】 考查固定结构。根据空后的＂loudly that her daughter came running from the house＂可知这里为so…that结构，意为＂如此……以至于＂，故填so。

【4】 考查代词。主语为I，横线处为宾语，根据语境可知这里指她以为＂我＂弄伤了自己。故填myself。

【5】 考查形容词。这里指早在十六年前，故填earlier。

【6】 考查动词不定式。一个句子不能出现双重谓语，所以此处要用不定式作目的状语。故填to cook。

【7】 考查动词时态。根据＂but turned up nothing＂可知这里是叙述过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时，故填searched。

【8】 考查动词。ring与sweep之间是被动关系，要用被动语态。故填swept。

【9】 考查连接词。分析句子结构可知，所填词引导定语从句，定语从句中缺少地点状语，先行词为the garden，表示地点，故填关系副词where。

【10】 考查冠词。wonder是可数名词的单数形式，且此处表示泛指，因此其前应加不定冠词a。故填a。
