【解析】

短文大意：短文讲述了杰克被周围邻居弄出的噪音搞得又累又生气，度过了一个可怕的夜晚。

1.考查词义理解。根据“making a lot of noise and he is very angry大吵大闹，他很生气”，可知是邻居们弄出的噪音让他很生气；以及文中提到杰克住在公寓一号房，下文分别描述了公寓二三四五六七号房的噪音，可知his neighbors意思是“他的邻居们”，故填：邻居（们）。

2.公寓二号房间的人们the people in Apartment Two；伴着音乐along the music；在跳舞be dancing。people是集合名词，复数意义，系词需用are；根据句子结构，可知填The people in Apartment Two are dancing to/along the music.

3.句意：他很高兴。考查词义理解。根据上文“The man in Apartment Three is singing 3号公寓的男人在唱歌”，可知he是指公寓3号房的男人，故填The man in Apartment Three.

4.a kind of musical instrument意思是“一种乐器”。根据“The woman in Apartment Four is practising the violin四号房的那个女人在练习小提琴”，结合首字母v可知是小提琴，故填violin。

5.句意：多么可怕的夜晚！本句是how开头的感叹句，可换用“what+名词或名词性短语+主谓”结构。根据文末“What a terrible night多么可怕的夜晚”，可知填What a terrible night!
