【解析】本文敘述了湯姆在二手店買褲子的故事。湯姆拿了條褲子給店主問(wèn)他給多少錢(qián)，店主以為是他是要賣褲子，因此說(shuō)兩美元一條，湯姆說(shuō)是店主掛在外面的褲子，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)。

【1】推理判斷題。由第一段How much will you give me for these?可知湯姆問(wèn)店主這條褲子給他多少錢(qián)，故推斷店主原以為他是賣褲子的，故選B

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段The man looked at them and then said: "Two dollars."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 more than two dollars."可知店主說(shuō)他們不會(huì)比兩美元多一分，故推斷他是想便宜地買下這條褲子，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，故推斷褲子是店主的，故選C。
