【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述羅伯特的父親是一位富商，他希望兒子努力學(xué)習(xí)并上大學(xué)，然而羅伯特喜歡打牌，每晚父母睡覺(jué)后他便悄悄溜出去。一天晚上，他父親知道后很生氣，就讓他到樓上去。昨晚他又去打牌了，并且贏了很多錢(qián)，回來(lái)后他聽(tīng)見(jiàn)父母的臥室里有響動(dòng)，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)是小偷，就把他抓住了。他恐嚇小偷說(shuō)出怎樣做才不把他的父母鬧醒，否則扭送警察局。

1.聯(lián)系上下文及第二段“The old man was very angry and told his son to live upstairs. Robert has to go up and down quietly. Of course it troubles him.”的描述可知，羅伯特的父親讓他住樓上的原因是這樣他就可以聽(tīng)見(jiàn)羅伯特晚上是否出去。故選D。

2.短文第三段“Last evening Robert listened carefully. And he was sure his parents went to sleep, he went out to play cards with his friends.”的描述可知，羅伯特仔細(xì)聽(tīng)，是想確信他的父母已經(jīng)睡覺(jué)了。故選A。

3.3】判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文最后一句“Tell me how you didn’t wake my parents up,” said Robert. “Or I’ll take you to the police station!”的描述可以推知，羅伯特是想向小偷了解怎樣才不把父母吵醒。故選C。
