【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是White先生有一天和朋友一起吃饭，因为到了上班的时间，White先生开车太快以至于撞到了一辆汽车上。White先生给了那个司机一瓶酒，让他喝醉，这样警察来的时候就会以为是这次事故是那个醉酒司机的责任了。

1.推理判断题。根据短文的开头部分One day, when he had lunch, a friend came to visit…可知，这件事请发生在White先生吃完午饭之后，去上班的路上，故我们可以推测应该是发生在下午。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据短文中It was time to go to office.可知，White先生和朋友吃完午饭后就到了上班的时间了，他害怕迟到所以开车开得很快。A、B和C都不是他开车快的原因。故选D。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中He drove too fast to see the red lights . And he couldn’t stop his car and hit a car in front of his.可知，White先生开车太快没有看见红等，他没有把车停下来，所以撞到了他前面的车上。由此可知选C。

4.细节理解题。根据短文的最后几段的内容可知，White先生给了那个司机一瓶酒，是想让他喝醉，这样警察来的时候，就会以为是那个司机醉酒驾车，是他的责任了。所以这里是White先生想把撞车的责任转到那个司机身上。由此可知选A。

5.推理判断题。根据短文的最后几段的内容可知，White先生给了那个司机一瓶酒，让他喝醉，这样警察来的时候就会以为这次事故是那个司机的责任了。所以White先生是愚弄了那个司机。故选D。
