(答案→)B 解析：主旨大意:Harry与Peter住在同一个村子里。Harry勤奋，Peter懒惰。一年大旱，Harry与Peter都想挖沟引水，Harry执着坚持，庄稼久旱逢水；Peter半途而废，庄稼颗粒无收。【小题1】 B由Peter walked around for fun推断，他很懒惰。【小题1】 A由庄稼会死推断，夏天没有下雨。【小题1】 D由语境推断，句子意思为：带着这个想法……。【小题1】 B由He walked on and on推断，他走了很长路。【小题1】 C分析全句，从句表示时间，故用when引导时间状语从句。【小题1】 A介词for可表示目的，for lunch意思是“去吃中饭”。【小题1】 C由他不半途而废推断，他很晚才完成工作。【小题1】 A fall into sleep是固定搭配，意思是“入睡”。【小题1】 D上文说明Harry挖了一条沟渠，下文表示Peter“也”开始挖。【小题1】 B由他的庄稼死了推断，他的田里没有足够的水。
