試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了倫敦的一位出租車司機(jī)遇見(jiàn)的一件奇怪的事情。文章講述有一天這位司機(jī)拉的一名女乘客鑰匙丟了，因此她把自己的狗留下，而自己爬窗戶進(jìn)了自己的家。這位司機(jī)等了許久不見(jiàn)女乘客下來(lái)，便也爬窗戶去看個(gè)究竟，結(jié)果被警察誤以為是小偷。

1.根據(jù)短文“I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day.”的描述可知，白天倫敦的交通很擁擠，在晚上出來(lái)開車比較容易，故選A。

2.根據(jù)短文“she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.”的描述可知，因?yàn)樗�的鑰匙弄丟了，所以只好爬窗而進(jìn)。故選D。

3.根據(jù)短文“Some very strange things happened late at night .The other day I was taking a woman home from a party .She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.”的描述可知，他是在講述一件夜里發(fā)生的事情。故選B。

4.根據(jù)文章最后“I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on .I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief.Luckily the woman came downstairs.She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!”的描述可知，A、B、D三項(xiàng)內(nèi)容是符合原文的，這個(gè)女的不是沒(méi)有錢，而是睡著了。故選C。

5.根據(jù)短文“I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on ”的描述可知，司機(jī)爬窗而入是想知道里面發(fā)生了什么事情。故選C。
