【3】C

【4】C

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要讲述汤米路过亚当先生的房子时，发现冒着浓烟，他猜想房子着火了，所以冲进浴室接了一大桶水，但是他忘记了关水龙头。汤米把水从窗户倒进了房间，结果亚当先生家不是着火，汤米对此很抱歉。但最糟糕的是，自己的家被水泡了。

【1】句意：当他经过邻居亚当森先生的房子时，他发现房子的窗户冒着浓烟。

water水；smoke烟；wind风。根据后句“He was afraid. He thought the house must be on fire and it might be burnt down.”可知，他想房子一定着火了，可能会被烧毁。所以此处表示有浓烟。故选B。

【2】句意：他不知道亚当森先生是否在家，但他知道他必须马上把火扑灭。

and和，表并列；or或者，表选择；but但是，表转折。分析“He didn't know whether Mr. Adamson was in the house, ___2___ he knew he must put out the fire at once.”可知，此处表示“他不知道亚当森先生是否在家，但他知道他必须马上把火扑灭”的含义，前后两句构成转折关系。故选C。

【3】句意：他太匆忙了，以至于在跑到亚当森先生家之前忘记关水龙头。

turn on打开；turn down拒绝，调小；turn off关闭。根据文章最后一句话“When he went back home, he found his own house was flooded(淹没).”可知，等汤米回家后发现房子被水泡了，所以此处表示他没有关掉水龙头。故选C。

【4】句意：当他走到仍在冒烟的窗口时，他从窗口把水倒进房子里，却没有寻找冒烟的真正来源。烟立刻停了。

took拿；put放；poured倒。分析“…he ___4___ the water into the house by the window without looking for where the smoke was really coming from.”可知，此处表示“他从窗口把水倒进房子里”的含义，构成“pour…into…”短语，翻译为“把……倒进……”。故选C。

【5】句意：他站在窗边手里拿着烟斗，生气地看着汤米。

happily开心地；lazily懒惰地；angrily生气地。根据前文及分析“He was standing by the window with a big pipe(烟斗) in his hand looking at Tommy ___5___.”可知，汤米从窗户倒水进房间，而亚当先生正站在窗边，所以汤米的水都泼到了亚当先生身上，此处表示“生气地”含义。故选C。
