【解析】试题这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了年轻时的约翰·布朗由于贫穷而穿不起好衣服。长大后由于都是穿些旧衣服，他遭遇了被一家餐厅的看门人赶出来两次的糗事，这让他十分愤怒，从中可以看出穿衣在社交中的重要性。

1.句意：当他长大时，他也没有穿过好衣服。考查形容词比较级辨析题。根据句意语境，可知本句是和小时候作比较，这里是说长大后的事，older年长的，故选B。

2.句意：当他长大时，他也没有穿过好衣服。考查副词辨析题。四个选项单词均可表示“也”，但用法有别。too 和 as well 多用于口语中，语气较轻，通常用于肯定句或疑问句，一般不用于否定句，且通常放在句末。also 比 too 和 as well 正式，一般也不用于否定句，它在句中的位置通常是紧靠动词，即放在行为动词之前，特殊动词之后。either(也)通常只用于否定句，且要放在句末。本句是否定句，根据句意结构，故选C。

3.句意：所以他们和别人的很不一样，他很乐意穿和其他男人不同的衣服。考查不定代词辨析题。other和others均表示不确指意义，其中other后可以修饰名词，而others后不能再接名词，两者的关系可描述为：others=other+复数名词。another表泛指，一般只表单数，后接单数名词。the other表特指，是“两者中的另一个”。本句空格后面没有名词，根据句意语境，可知选B。

4.句意：在他所有的衣服中，他最喜欢一件旧外套。考查名词辨析题。根据下文Even when he went outside, he was in the old coat.外出也穿旧外套，可知选A。

5.句意：即使他出去了，他也穿着旧外套。考查介词辨析题。in表穿着，其他三个of、for和under没有这个用法，可排除。根据句意语境，可知选A。

6.句意：一天早上，他穿着一件旧外套去了一家不错的餐馆吃早饭。考查名词辨析题。根据One morning，结合句意语境，可知是吃早饭，故选A。

7.句意：在餐厅门口，看门人拦住他，不让他进来。考查动词辨析题。A. asked问；B. told告诉；C. protected保护；D. stopped阻止。根据下文他的愤怒“What is the matter?”he asked angrily. 和看门人的提醒The man pointed to the old out.，可知看门人拦住了约翰，故选D。

8.句意：“你不喜欢吗？”约翰喊道。考查动词辨析题。根据下文If you don’t like it, I’ll take it off.，可知选D。

9.句意：如果你不喜欢，我就把它脱下来。考查连词辨析题。A. When什么时候，表时间；B. Until直到才，表时间；C. If如果，表条件；D. Because因为，表原因。本句是条件状语从句，需用if引导；根据句意语境，可知选C。

10.句意：约翰愤怒的脸变黑了。考查形容词辨析题。A. sad伤心的；B. happy高兴的；C. angry愤怒的；D. worried担心的。根据上文约翰的表现“What is the matter?”he asked angrily.，联系这一次又让看门人给拦住，可知他会暴跳如雷、脸色发青，故选C。
