試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文介紹了湯姆因?yàn)槔习宓恼`會(huì)，以低于標(biāo)價(jià)4美元的價(jià)格買了一條舊褲子。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。故短文湯姆和老板的對(duì)話，可知在一開始老板以為湯姆是來(lái)賣褲子的。故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars."描述，可知這個(gè)店老板想給湯姆兩美元買這條褲子。故選A。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。閱讀短文可知，老板出價(jià)比較低是因?yàn)樗�以為這條褲子是湯姆的，想以低價(jià)買了這條褲子。故選B。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Here's your money. These trousers were hanging outside your shop. 描述，可知這條褲子是店老板掛在商店外面的。故選B。

5.推理判斷題。閱讀短文可知，最后湯姆給了老板2美元，從價(jià)格表中可以看出這條褲子賣6美元，所以湯姆以比價(jià)格表便宜4美元的價(jià)格買了這條褲子。故選D。
