試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了湯姆在等車(chē)時(shí)，由于沒(méi)有地方坐，他便去咖啡館坐了一會(huì)，在這期間他遇到了他的工友邁克，兩人在咖啡館邊喝咖啡邊聊天。由于湯姆從鏡子里看表，最后耽誤了搭車(chē)的故事。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.”的描述可知，因?yàn)闆](méi)有地方坐，因此湯姆進(jìn)入了咖啡館。故應(yīng)選B。

【2】A判斷推理題。根據(jù)常識(shí)，在鏡子里看時(shí)間，正好是左右相反，上下不反。結(jié)合短文“A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”的敘述可以推知，當(dāng)時(shí)的時(shí)間是12點(diǎn)半。故選A。

【3】C判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文“twenty to twelve”和“Half past twelve”的描述可以推知，鏡子里的時(shí)間是往回走的，因此鏡子里的時(shí)間是慢的。故應(yīng)選C。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的描述可知，A、B、D的敘述不符合原文內(nèi)容，結(jié)合短文最后一段最后一句“Since then Tom has never liked mirrors”的描述可知，湯姆再也不喜歡鏡子了。故應(yīng)選C。

【5】D標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)短文主要講述的是在鏡子里看錯(cuò)表的故事。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，最能概括文章大意的是“鏡子里的鐘表”，故應(yīng)選D
