文章大意：從前，一位商人欠了一位貴族很多錢。這位貴族提出了一個(gè)建議，商人的女兒聰明地幫助父親免除了債務(wù)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)there was a businessman who owed a lot of money to a noble有一個(gè)商人欠貴族一大筆錢，可知是錢。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)but he was too poor to pay back，可知他太窮了，不能還錢，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If she picks the white one, she needn't marry me如果她選了白色的，她不需要嫁給我，可知不需要嫁給貴族，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) the girl noticed him pick two black stones and put then into the bag，可知女孩注意到他撿起兩塊黑色的石頭，然后放進(jìn)袋子里。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)I didn't see the color of the stone. But if you look at the other one, you will be able to tell which one I have picked我沒看到石頭的顏色。但是如果你看看另一個(gè)，你就能知道我選了哪一個(gè)，結(jié)合上文，貴族拿了2個(gè)黑色的放入袋子里，可知剩下的那一個(gè)是黑色的，貴族應(yīng)該會很失望。故選B。
