试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了一个十几岁的女孩离家出走。多年以后，她在街上乞食为生，看到一则寻人启事，找的人就是她自己，上面写着“我仍然爱你”。她回家发现门没锁，妈妈说自从她离开后门就一直没锁。

1.a little：一些，修饰不可数名词；a few：一些，修饰可数名词复数形式；much：很多，修饰不可数名词；more：更多。根据语境可知，这里指的是她只受过一点教育，几年以后，她不得不在街上乞食为生。years可数名词复数，应用a few修饰。故选B。

2.look for：寻找；look after：照顾；look at：看；look up：查阅资料。联系下文说她走过城市的每个角落。说明她在寻找女儿。故选A。

3.sets on：攻击，袭击；puts up：张贴，悬挂；cuts up：切碎，齐根切掉； makes up：编造。根据语境可知，这里指的是每到一个地方，她把她女儿的一张大照片贴在墙上。故应选B。

4.eyes：眼睛；ears：耳朵；nose：鼻子；head：头。根据语境可知，她看到一张照片。她如此惊讶以致于不敢相信她的眼睛。故应选A。

5.farther： 更远； further： 程度上更；closer：更近；away：离开。根据语境可知句意为：她移的更近一些看这些字：“我仍然爱你……”上文说她不敢相信自己的眼睛，可知应走近看仔细。故应选C。

6.句意为：她迫不及待地回家。can’t wait to do表示“迫不及待做某事”。故选D。

7.句意为：她叫醒她妈妈。这里叙述的是过去的事实，应用一般过去时，wake的过去式是woke，故应选C。

8.what ：什么；who：谁；when：什么时候；why：为什么。根据语境可知句意为：女儿问：“为什么门不锁？小偷会进来的”。故应选D。

9.since：自从，其后跟一般过去时或者时间点； for：for+一段时间； before：在……之前； unless：除非。根据语境可知，这里指的是自从你离开后这扇门就从未锁过。故应选A。

10.With：用，和；In：在……里面， in this way用这种方法； By：通过；On：在……上面。根据语境可知句意为：用这种方法父母和孩子都会幸福。故应选B。
