試題分析：這篇短文講述的是一天早上，Brown先生起床晚了，他擔心上班遲到，所以路上開車很快，不小心撞到了一輛汽車。Brown先生給了那個司機一瓶酒，他想讓他喝醉，這樣警察來的時候，就會以為是那個汽車司機引起的事故。

1.細節理解題。根據短文的第一句話Mr .Brown got up late this morning.，Mr. Brown今天早上起晚了，而這件事就發生在Mr. Brown 開車上班的路上，故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據短文的開頭Mr .Brown got up late this morning. He was going to be late for work可知，Mr. Brown 早上起床晚了，他上班也要遲到了，所以他開車很快。故選D。

3.細節理解題。根據短文中It was raining hard and the streets were wet. He drove so fast that he didn't see the red lights. He couldn't stop his car and hit a car.可知，那天雨下得很大，街道很濕滑，而且他因為快遲到了，所以開車很快以至于沒有看見紅燈。他不能一下把車停下來，所以撞到了一輛汽車上。故選C。

4.推理判斷題。根據短文的第二段到第五段的內容可知，Brown 先生在撞到汽車之后，給了汽車司機一瓶酒，因為Brown先生想讓他喝醉，這樣在警察來的時候，就會以為是那個汽車司機因為喝醉而發生了事故。故選B。
