Answer 1

小题1:D 小题2:B 小题3:A

试题分析： 小题1:D从第二段I left for home .Before I left Edinburgh , I bought a nice diamond ring可知是他离开 Edinburgh回家之前。 小题2:B.从第二段It was then that I learned of my sweet-heart’s getting married to another man. I was so sad that I threw the diamond ring into the water可得知答案 小题3:A。第一段中谈到他们讨论在鱼身上找有价值的石头的话题，结合最后一段可知其他游客以为老人找回了钻石。 点评：本文大意：一群游客讨论在鱼身上找有价值的石头的话题，其中一位老人讲述了他亲身经历的一个真实的故事，当大家都以为他在鱼身上找到有价值的东西----钻石的时候，结果只是鱼骨头。
