【解析】

试题分析：Charlie睡觉前发现有人在他的花园里偷东西，给警察打电话报警，警察说巡逻车都出去了，等有闲下来的巡逻车就过去解决了。Charlie不相信警察的话，又打电话告诉警察不用着急了，因为他已经对小偷开枪了，警察以为有人死了，所以马上就赶到了。

1.根据原文Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed.可知故事发生在晚上，Charlie刚要去睡觉。故选C。

2.根据原文All patrol cars have gone out, and a policeman will go to your house when one is free.可知警察认为这不是重要的。故选B。

3.根据原文I just called a short while ago意为：我刚才给你打了一个电话。可知一共打了两个电话。故选B。

4.根据原文I thought you said that you shot every one of them!警察说：我记得你说你已经击毙了他们中的一个。可知警察以为有小偷被枪毙了。故选A。

5.通过阅读可知Charlie不相信没有警车，所以故意说开枪了。故选C。
