【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了湯姆在二手店買(mǎi)褲子的故事。湯姆拿了條褲子給店主問(wèn)他給多少錢(qián)，店主以為他是要賣(mài)褲子，因此說(shuō)兩美元一條。湯姆說(shuō)這是店主掛在店外面的褲子，上面的標(biāo)價(jià)是六美元半。于是他掏出兩美元給店主，然后離開(kāi)的。

1. How much will you give me for these?”可知湯姆問(wèn)店主這些褲子他給多少錢(qián)，故推斷店主原以為他是賣(mài)褲子的，故選C。

2. man looked at them and then said, “Two dollars（美元）.”可知店主想支付湯姆兩美元，故選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)"No," said the man, "they aren't worth a cent(美分)more than two dollars."可知店主說(shuō)他們不會(huì)比兩美元多一分，故推斷他是想便宜的買(mǎi)下這條褲子，故選B。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)These trousers were hanging outside your shop.可知這條褲子掛在商店的外面，故推斷他們是店主的，故選C。

5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)Taking two dollars out of his pocket, 和The list price of them was six dollars and a half.可知這條褲子原價(jià)是六美元半，卻花了兩美元，因此便宜了四美元半。故選D。
