分析 这篇文章写了一名小偷在偷东西的时候遗失了一张中奖的彩票，被偷窃的教授捡到了这张彩票并还给了小偷，给小偷上了一堂关于诚实的课．

解答 ABDDA
61．A 推理判断题．根据后边的句子Finally，he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed．尽管被偷但是他决定不能拥有这个钱，可以推断出教授看到彩票开奖并不是立刻知道该怎么办，所以才会began a battle with his conscience．然后做出决定，所以答案选A．
62..B 细节理解题．根据句子Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash 这些人的目的很简单，就是想得到钱，所以答案选B．
63．D 细节理解题．根据句子He could not believe what was happening．"Why didn't you keep the money？"he asked．他不能相信发生的这一切，并问道"你为什么不要这些钱？"可以看出他对于这件事是难以置信的，所以答案选D．
64．D  词义猜测题． 通过上下文我们可以判断教授拒绝了小偷的回报，这里是"拒绝"，所以答案选D．
65．A 最佳标题题．这篇文章写了一名小偷在偷东西的时候遗失了一张中奖的彩票，被偷窃的教授捡到了这张彩票并还给了小偷，给小偷上了一堂关于诚实的课  文章主题不是教授、不是彩票、所以只有A适合做文章的标题．

点评 在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机，事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西
