解答 ABDDA
61.A 推理判斷題.根據后邊的句子Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.盡管被偷但是他決定不能擁有這個錢,可以推斷出教授看到彩票開獎并不是立刻知道該怎么辦,所以才會began a battle with his conscience.然后做出決定,所以答案選A.
62..B 細節(jié)理解題.根據句子Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash 這些人的目的很簡單,就是想得到錢,所以答案選B.
63.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據句子He could not believe what was happening."Why didn't you keep the money?"he asked.他不能相信發(fā)生的這一切,并問道"你為什么不要這些錢?"可以看出他對于這件事是難以置信的,所以答案選D.
64.D 詞義猜測題. 通過上下文我們可以判斷教授拒絕了小偷的回報,這里是"拒絕",所以答案選D.
65.A 最佳標題題.這篇文章寫了一名小偷在偷東西的時候遺失了一張中獎的彩票,被偷竊的教授撿到了這張彩票并還給了小偷,給小偷上了一堂關于誠實的課 文章主題不是教授、不是彩票、所以只有A適合做文章的標題.
