解析：

(1)	從下文看，歹徒看不起擦鞋的小孩，不住地“嘲諷”和“教誨”他：人要想成大事，必須具有想像力和勇氣，像他這樣一個(gè)擦皮鞋的小孩成不了大器。
(2)	歹徒具有警覺(jué)性，不時(shí)地四處環(huán)顧。
(3)	修鞋的小孩在不停地“納悶”曾在哪兒見(jiàn)過(guò)歹徒的這張臉。
(4)	此處應(yīng)是警方通緝令上歹徒的“照片”。
(5)	wanted此處當(dāng)“被通緝”講，指歹徒被警方通緝。
(6)	get anywhere用于否定句或疑問(wèn)句，當(dāng)“取得成就”講；肯定句用get somewhere。
(7)	由后面“The sooner I finished the better．”可得出答案。
(8)	make money意為“掙錢(qián)”，注意此處歹徒不可能說(shuō)自己“偷錢(qián)”或“搶錢(qián)”，故不選B項(xiàng)。
(9)	小孩不知道警方的“懸賞”到底是多少。
(10)	此處指警方“提供”懸賞，捉拿歹徒。
(11)	小孩在動(dòng)腦筋，用鞋油桶“打”歹徒是不行的。
(12)	表示歹徒“體型、塊頭”大。
(13)	前面提到歹徒強(qiáng)調(diào)人要有想像力。
(14)	警官是在執(zhí)行公務(wù)，所以不可能是“閑逛”，故不選A項(xiàng)；警官還不知道歹徒在擦鞋的小孩這里，所以不選D項(xiàng)。
(15)	小孩在“呼救”。
(16)	shut up意為“閉嘴”，mind you意為“當(dāng)心、注意”，用來(lái)提醒別人，此處指歹徒不讓小孩聲張。
(17)	小孩巧妙地把歹徒的鞋帶系到了一起，使他在逃跑時(shí)被絆倒。
(18)	小孩“智斗”歹徒，應(yīng)是“聰明的”。
(19)	正是歹徒的“嘲諷”和“教誨”使小孩有了這么一個(gè)好主意。
(20)	something big是口語(yǔ)用法，相當(dāng)于something great，意為“大事”。小孩智擒歹徒，也算做了一件了不起的事情。
