試題分析：本文講述了一位老人賣大象的故事。一位年輕人走過來慢慢地看這頭大象，這位老人以為這位年輕人看出他的大象耳朵有毛病，讓他什么也不要說，就給他20美元。但是，這個年輕人之所以看這頭大象，不是因為他知道這頭大象耳朵有毛病，而是因為他沒見過大象，想看看大象長什么樣。

【1】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)One day an old man is selling(賣) a big elephant(大象)可知一位老人在賣大象，故選B。

【2】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The young man answers,“Because I didn’t see an elephant before, and I want to know what it looks like.”可知這位年輕人慢慢地看大象，是因為他以前沒有見過大象，想看看大象長什么樣。

故選D。

【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)After the old man sells the elephant, he gives the young man twenty dollars可知這位老人買了大象后，給了這個年輕人二十美元，因此推斷這個年輕人從那位老人那兒得到了一些錢。故選D。

【4】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The young man answers, “Because I didn’t see an elephant before,可知這個年輕人以前沒有見過一頭大象。故選D。

【5】A推理判斷題。結合文章意思，這位老人怕這個年輕人把他的大象耳朵有毛病這件事告訴別人，答應給這個年輕人20美元，結果這個年輕人不知道他的大象耳朵有毛病，推斷老人白給這個年輕人20美元，他會生氣。故選A。
