【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了一个小偷去偷教授东西的时候把彩票丢了,后来被教授捡到了,结果教授发现彩票中奖了,教授并没有去领奖,而是把彩票还给了小偷。
【1】细节理解题。由文中Thenhebeganabattlewithhisconscience.Finally,hedecidedhecouldnotkeepthemoneydespitehavingbeenrobbed.Headvertisedinnewspapers andontheradio.可知,教授看到中奖的信息,当时不知道怎么办,思考了一会才决定他不能要这个钱,C选项是错误的,ABD都正确,但是题干选除...外,故C选项正确。
【2】细节理解题。由文中ProfessorSabbatuccireceivedhundredsofcallsfrompeoplehopingtotrickhimintohandingthemthecash可知,很多人给教授打电话,因为他们都想拿到这笔钱,故B选项正确。
【3】细节理解题。由文中Hecouldnotbelievewhatwashappening.可知,当教授想找这个小偷的时候,他不敢相信。Incredible难以置信的,故D选项正确。
【4】主旨大意题。通读全文,我们可以知道,这个小偷偷东西时丢了彩票,后来彩票中奖了,教授居然没有去要这笔钱,而是把钱还给了小偷,可见这个小偷非常的幸运,所以,题目为AThief’sLuckyDay 更合适,故A选项正确。
