【解析】

这篇短文给我们讲述了一个聪明的男孩Tim的故事，他是个八岁的小孩，擅长数学。一次他的姑姑拿来六个橘子让他跟妹妹分分。他只给了妹妹一个橘子，剩下的都给了自己，因为他知道妹妹不懂数学。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第二段“Miss Black, their aunt, teaches math in a middle school.”可知，Black女士是Tim和Jane的姑姑。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段“Today Tim's parents have to be in their clothes shop, so they ask Miss Black to come to look after Tim and Jane.”可知，因为Tim的父母有事，Black女士来照顾Tim和Jane。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据下文“‘Sure, that's easy.’ He gives one to Jane and has five for himself. ”“Tim给了Jane一个橘子，剩下的给了自己”，由此可知，他的姑姑是让他把橘子分一分。divide意为“平分”。故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据短文最后“‘Sure, that's easy.’ He gives one to Jane and has five for himself.”可知，Tim在分橘子的时候，只给了Jane一个，自己拿了剩下的五个，他知道Jane并不懂数学，所以才这样分，因为他想要更多的橘子。故选C。
