沈阳查字典中考网：2013年沈阳中考英语复习每日一练5月23日阅读理解专练答案及分析：
1.B.第一段的最后一句Hefoundthattheywereabouttwoinchestoolong.
2.A.年轻人提出缩短裤子的要求，这个要求是向在场的妈妈和他的两个姐妹提出的。
3.C.因当时妈妈和姐妹俩都忙于干活，所以当时都没有回答他的话。
4.D.从第四段的原句(Lateron,aftersupper,theeldersisterrememberedherbrotherstrousers)中我们可知是晚饭后去把裤子缩短了。
5.C.通读全文，知道有三人把裤子各缩短了两英寸，那么总共缩短了六英寸。
