導(dǎo)讀本文主要講述吉姆不喜歡努力工作卻想得到很多錢，于 是他去偷，并教他的朋友去行竊的故事。

詳析

1. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段可知吉姆不喜歡干活，

但卻想著怎么能賺很多的錢，故答案選A項(xiàng)。

2. C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上下文的判斷，這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該是“偷，竊”之意。

3. B推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文最后—句，吉姆的朋友沒有偷到東西是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)家庭只有一架鋼琴，所以他認(rèn)為他 們家是貧窮的。

4. C推理判斷題。根據(jù)句子“They were playing duet on a piano. ”可知這兩個(gè)人在共同演奏曲子，而吉姆的朋友 卻認(rèn)為他們頭不起鋼琴，由此推斷他根本就不懂音樂。
