【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文向我们讲述了一则小笑话：一个人在下雨天坐公交车，当车停在车站时，他不愿淋雨出去买蛋糕，便要求一个路边的男孩帮他买两个蛋糕，一个给他吃，另一个给那个小男孩，而当孩子回来时，男孩交给他的是剩下的两美元，因为男孩只买到了一个蛋糕。

1.细节理解题。根据开头的描述，是下雨天，公交车停靠在站台，所以这个男子也是在公交车上，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据文中He doesn’t want to go out in the rain.一句可知，该男子不愿出去买蛋糕的原因是他不愿意出去挨淋；故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据男孩的回答Sorry, there is only one cake left（剩下）.可知，男孩只买到了一个蛋糕；故选A。

4.数字计算题。根据短文的描述男孩拿走了四美元，回来时自己吃一个，把剩下的两美元还给了那个男子，可知蛋糕的价格是一个两美元，故买5个蛋糕自然需要10美元，故选C。

5.推理判断题。由文中最后两句话He’s eating a cake. He gives the man two dollars and says, 'Sorry, there is only one cake left（剩下）可知，只有这个男孩自在的吃着蛋糕，而这名男子依然饿着肚子；故选B。
