解析：
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解的细节类题目，解题思路是：针对每个问题，先定位问题中的关键词，再在短文中找到对应信息，部分涉及数字换算的题目需结合原文规则计算，最后根据原文内容或合理推断得出答案。
【解析】
1. 问题询问换新书需要的蓝票数量，原文规则为：10张蓝票换1张红票，10张红票换1张黄票，10张黄票换1本新书，因此计算得10×10×10=1000张蓝票。
2. 问题是一般疑问句，询问Tom是否得到新书，原文明确提到“The teacher gives Tom the book”，因此回答为肯定。
3. 问题询问Tom站起来时大家的感受，原文直接说明“everybody is very surprised”，提取该信息即可。
4. 问题询问Mr White的职业，原文提到“Her father, a great judge”，直接提取职业信息。
5. 问题为推断题，结合原文中Tom因答不出作业问题而紧张的情节，可推断他之后会努力学习或认真做作业。
【答案】
1. 1000. 2. Yes, he does.
3. Surprised. 4. He is a judge.
5. He may study hard/do his homework carefully.
