【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述杰夫叔叔收到杰米玛父亲的邀请去参加生日晚会，因为路途遥远，所以他开着自己的保时捷去。路上他因为超速被警察罚款，最后他不得不找杰米玛的母亲借钱的故事。

【1】句意：根据卫星定位系统显示，会花费他整整四个小时三十九分钟到那儿。

根据前一句“the long car drive”可知开车去很远，此处选择D选项，“take him exactly four hours and thirty-nine minutes”具体解释开车去具体有多远的路程。故选D。

【2】句意：你知道的，杰夫叔叔对自己的钱不怎么明智。

根据后一句“So,even though he did not have much money”可知此处选择G，讲述他对于钱方面不怎么明智“not very wise about his money”。故选G。

【3】句意：他决定靠路边停车。

根据前一句“then he saw police cars”可知当他看到警车在后面跟过来，他需要路边停车pull over to the edge。故选A。

【4】句意：警察从他们的车子里下来，走向杰夫。

根据上文讲到警车过来了，以及下一句“One of the policemen said”可知此处讲述警察从车里出来走向杰夫，然后和他说话。故选E。

【5】句意：我需要找你借一些钱。

根据下一句“Now I only have ￡30”可知因为交罚单，他只剩下30英镑，故此处他需要找杰米玛的母亲借钱。故选C。

补全短文的做题方法如下：①先读一遍短文，了解大意。②根据上下文的提示选择答案。例如第一题根据“the long car drive”可得出答案“four hours and thirty-nine minutes”。第二题根据“he did not have much money”，可得出答案“not very wise about his money”。③根据段落结构、上下文或前后句子的逻辑关系来选择答案。例如第三题根据“then he saw police cars”可知接下来的动作是pull over to the edge。④最后再完整的读一遍，检查答案。
