【解析】【1】小女孩在杆子底部贴了很多小告示，她坚信她丢失的狗看见上面的照片后一定会回家。她的努力在一周后得到了回报。

【2】作者认为它应该在人们看得见的地方，而不应在杆子底部，所以作者认为它好像出了什么错误。

【3】作者看到小告示被人用胶带牢牢地固定住了。faster表示“使固定”。

【4】作者想知道谁会用这种方式吸引人们的注意力。wonder表示“想知道”。

【5】根据第三段提示可知，作者开始认为这是卖房的小告示。

【6】根据上下文可知，作者想知道到底是怎么回事，因此“好奇地”走近她们。curiously表示“好奇地”。A项表示“持续地”，C项表示“仔细地；认真地”，D项表示“愚蠢地”，均不符合语境。

【7】作者一直等到小女孩在最后一个小告示上又缠完一圈胶带。wind在文中用作动词表示“缠绕”，其过去式为wound。B项表示“放置”，C项表示“撕”，D项表示“传播，展开”，均不符合语境。

【8】根据第一段内容可知，小告示被贴在了杆子底部，因此作者问为何把售房告示贴得如此接近地面(ground)。

【9】这位女士告诉作者小女孩不是在卖房子，让作者靠近点儿看。下一句作者的举动也是答案提示。

【10】作者弯下腰调整着自己的姿势，直到可以看清那些小字。position表示“位置；姿势”。A项表示“方向”，B项表示“视力；情景”，C项表示“高度”，均不符合语境。

根据下一句中的“...and saw in the picture a child...”提示可知选B。

【11】on one's hands and knees表示“趴在地上”，为固定搭配。

【12】根据下一段的“Her dog，Grace，is lost”可知，作者在照片中看到了一个孩子和一只狗。

【13】作者有些不解，因此带着“迷惑的”表情站起身来。

【14】但是大部分人都会把寻物启事挂在人们都能看到的地方。sign“指示牌”。notice为“公告牌”，不符合语境。

【15】孩子天真的回答使作者有些犹豫去请求进一步的解释。ask for表示“请求；要求”。A项表示“派人去请”，C项表示“呼吁”，D项表示“寻找”，均不符合语境。

【16】根据下文“因为你能看到商店外面已经贴了许多告示”，所以找到她的狗并不是很容易(hard)。

【17】她想让她的狗找到她。因此带有房子、她和她的狗的照片(被贴在了这儿)。

【18】我不想放弃直到她自己觉得尽了自己所能。give up表示“放弃”。A项表示“张贴；搭建”，C项表示“弄混；弄乱”，D项表示“清理；放晴”，均不符合语境。
