试题分析：一个农民被抓进了监狱。有一天，他收到了一封他妻子的信。“我很担心我们的农场，”她写道。“是时候种植土豆了，但是，我不能将所有的土地松土。”农夫想了，然后有了一个主意。说农场的土地中有金子，不用她挖了，最后是监狱的看守们将土地松好。
【小题1】细节理解题。短文中没有提到这位农夫为什么去做牢。故选C。
【小题2】细节理解题。问题：农夫的妻子非常担心什么？联系原文提到农夫妻子的信件内容：“I am worried about our farm,” she wrote.句意：“我很担心我们的农场,”她写道。明确答案为第二项。故选B
【小题3】细节理解题。问题：这位农夫告诉他的妻子不要做什么？联系原文农夫回信的内容：Don’t dig the fields.句意：不要挖土地。同时考查固定短语：tell sb. not to do sth.告诉某人不要做某事。故选A
【小题4】细节理解题。问题：为什么监狱的看守去挖田地?联系原文农夫写给妻子的回信：Don’t dig the fields. This is where my gold(金子) is. Don’t plant potatoes until I come home.句意：不要挖土地。这里有我的金子。直到我回家才能种植土豆。结合选项，第四项符合，他们都想去挖到金子。故选D
【小题5】细节理解题。问题：为什么农夫马上让他的妻子种植土豆了？通过阅读短文，明确他的妻子在此之前不能将土地松土，但是，这些监狱的看守们已经将土地松好土了，因此可以进行种植土豆了。故选A
考点：故事类短文阅读。
