【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了Brown一家人。Mr Brown总是晚回家，当他回来时他的妻子和小孩都已经睡着了。他总是轻轻地开门进去。有一天晚上，他回家很迟，忘记带钥匙，他没办法叫醒妻子，就像小孩子一样轻声说，“妈妈，我想上厕所。”结果，他妻子醒了。

1.T细节理解题。根据Mr. and Mrs. Brown lived in a small town near London with their child.句意：Brown夫妇和他们的小孩住在伦敦附近的一个小镇。故选T。

2.F细节理解题。根据Sometimes Mr. Brown came back home from work very late, when his wife and the child were asleep,句意：有时候他工作很迟，回家很晚，他妻子和小孩都已经睡觉了。可知不是在他回来后睡的。故选F。

3.F细节理解题。从第二段中得知，Mr Brown是按门铃和敲卧室窗户，不是敲前门。故选F。

4.T推理判断题。根据Then he began to speak like a small child.“Mother! ’’ he said.“I want to go to the toilet!’’ He spoke quite quietly, but at once Mrs. Brown woke up. Then he spoke to her, and she opened the door for him. 句意：然后他开始像小孩一样说“妈妈，我想上厕所。”他说得很轻，但是Mrs Brown立刻醒了。然后他跟她说，她为他把门打开。可知他像小孩一样叫她妈妈是为了叫醒她。故选T。

5.：他按门铃，但没动静。说明Mrs Brown没有一听到门铃声就醒。可知应选F。
