试题分析：9岁的皮特住得离学校很近，但由于晚上看电视睡得很晚，他总是上学迟到。在这个学期，皮特的阿姨布莱克女士在他的学校任职。她对皮特很严厉。昨天早上皮特又迟到了，布莱克女士问他为什么，他回答说在街角处看到路标，上面写着“学校，请慢行！”。

1.C推理判断题。根据信息“Little Peter is a boy of nine.”和“Now he is in Grade Four.”可知，9岁的皮特刚上四年级，说明他在学校已经上了三年。故选C。

2.A细节信息题。根据“ He likes watching TV in the evening and goes to bed late, so he can’t get up on time in the morning.”这句话可知，皮特非常喜欢在晚上看电视，并且睡得很晚，早上无法按时起床，导致上学经常迟到。故选A。

3.B细节信息题。由文章中“teaches in Peter’s school”这个信息可得知，布莱克女士在皮特的学校任职。故选B。

4.A推理判断题。根据“When he hurried(赶紧) to school, it was 8:20 a.m.. ”和布莱克女士的话“You are ten minutes late for the first class, Peter,”可知，皮特在8:20 赶到学校时已经迟到了10分钟，因此，第一节课的开始时间是8:10。故选A。

5.推理判断题。路标上写着“学校，请注意慢行！”，这句话是写给开车的人们。故选D。
