【解析】

本文介绍了赫伯不害怕独自在家。当赫伯等他的父母时，他会看电视上的电影。一天一个人想进入房间，且这个人可能是贼。赫伯敲鼓吓跑了他。

【1】句意：他以前常常独自一人呆着，所以他并不害怕。A. worried担忧的；B. lonely孤独的； C. afraid 害怕的；D. sad难过的。由“He had often stayed alone before”可知，他一人在家，不会感到害怕。由下文As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched the latest films on TV. 可知，此处并非“焦虑的”“孤独的”“悲伤的”，故A、B、D 三项排除。

【2】句意：随着时间的流逝，他的眼皮越来越沉。A. The films电影；B. His body他的身体； C. The night夜晚；D. His eyes他的眼睛。由句子Suddenly Herb's eyes opened wide.可知，

他的眼皮越来越沉。排除A、B、C 三项。故选D。

【3】句意：隔壁房间里是什么噪声？A. talk谈话；B. noise噪声；C. person人；D. thing东西。由下文Herb heard the window slowly being inched (一点一点地) open.可知，他听到窗户被一点一点地慢慢推开，可知他听到的是噪音。故选B。

【4】句意：有一分钟，赫布吓得不敢动。A. hear听见；B. cry哭；C. move移动；D. think思考。结合语境可知，A/B/D均不符合语境。故选C。

【5】句意：他知道他不能失去理智，开始考虑他能做的事情。A. head头；B. heart 心脏；C. hope希望；D. way路，方法。lose one’s head 表示“不能自制，张皇失措( 如突发的气愤或恐惧) ”。lose one’s heart 表示“倾心于( 某人) ”；lose one’s way 表示“迷路”，均不合语境，排除B/D。lose one’s hope 不成立，故排除。因此本题选A。

【6】句意：在不经过听到噪音的窗户时，他无法够得着电话。A. reach sth.表示“够得着”，强调结果。C. 项“观看”，D. 项“抓住”，均不符合语境。B项touch 强调动作“碰，接触”，显然不对。故选A。

【7】句意：他又听到有人试图从窗户爬进他的房间。A. walk 走；B. run跑；C. jump跳；D. climb爬。结合句意可知，有人试图从窗户爬进屋子里。A、B 两项明显不符合语境。由语境知，他企图越窗而入，不能用jump“跳”。故选D。

【8】句意：他拿起鼓槌，尽可能地敲鼓。A. fast 快的；B. hard努力地；C. carefully仔细地； D. strongly强壮地。beat as hard as he could 指“用尽全力敲”。由“The commotion was so terrible ”可知他使劲击鼓。故选B。

【9】句意：鼓声那么响，甚至连他自己也感到惊讶。B. even 表示递进关系“甚至”。A 项“仍然”，C 项“也许”，D 项“相当”，均不表递进，不合语境。故选B。

【10】句意：他也惊讶窗户上的人，尽可能快地逃跑了。the person in the window正在窗子上的那个人。in the window “在窗户上”，为固定搭配。
