【解析】

试题分析：这是一个小故事。Smith先生坐火车回家乡的时候，不小心掉了一只鞋。这时火车已经开动了，所以他不能捡回来了，干脆把另一只鞋也脱下来扔了下去。一个男孩问他为什么这样做，Smith先生说这样捡到鞋的人就会有一双鞋了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文的第一句话One day, Mr. Smith is going to take a train to his hometown可知，Mr. Smith 想乘坐火车回他的家乡。故选B。take a train 和by train 都是乘坐火车的意思。

2.细节理解题。根据短文中When the train starts, one of his shoes falls(落下)onto the ground.可知，当火车开动的时候，Mr. Smith 掉了一只鞋。故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中The train is running faster and faster and he can’t pick it up.可知，Mr. Smith 的一只鞋在火车开动的时候掉了，他不能去捡，因为火车开得越来越快了。故选D，火车已经开动了。

4.细节理解题。根据短文中Then he quickly takes off the other one and throws it on the ground near the fallen shoe.可知，Mr. Smith 不能捡起他掉下的一只鞋，所以他就脱下另外一只，把它扔在了那只鞋的旁边。由此可知，是Mr. Smith把另外一只鞋扔了下去。故选A。

5.推理判断题。根据短文的最后一句话Mr. Smith answers, “If a man picks them up, he may get a pair of shoes.可知，当一个孩子问Mr. Smith为什么要这样做的时候，Smith先生回答说，如果有人把鞋捡起来了，他就能有一双鞋了。故C选项是正确的。Ａ选项与文意不符，文章中并没有说那个男孩想要鞋；B选项中并不是Smith 先生不想要鞋了，是火车已经开动了，他不能捡鞋，所以干脆把另外一只也扔下去了；根据文章的内容可知，第一只鞋是自己掉下去的，不是Smith先生扔下去的，故Ｄ选项不对。
