试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述的是Jack每天下班都很安静，他的奶奶对此很满意。有一天，他带他的同学mary回家，聊天聊了很久，不知道时间，Jack利用跺脚，巧妙地从他奶奶那知道了时间。

1.B推理判断题。根据第一段”Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, “可知，20岁的时候毕业两年了，所以是18岁毕业的。故应选B。

2.C推理判断题。根据后文他跺脚的事情可以推断出，他奶奶喜欢安静的环境，所以他肯定是很安静的。故应选C。

3.A推理判断题。根据”they talked about their school, teachers, classmates"的描述可知。Mary是Jack的同学。故应选A。

4.B词义猜测题。根据短文“Bang! Bang! Bang!” ---Why are you still jumping upstairs?的描述可知，这里应该是指跺脚，故应选B。

5.推理判断题。根据短文描述可知，因为他们都不知道时间，没有表，而他奶奶在他跺脚之后便说了时间，可知他是为了知道时间。故应选C。
