Answer

1.to buy

2.cost

3.goes

4.is called

5.has risen

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了丹尼尔和他的叔叔鲍勃一起去商店购物。鲍勃叔叔给了他1美元，他买了2个巧克力糖果。鲍勃叔叔讲了他小时候1美元可以买5个巧克力糖果，说明所有东西的价格随着时间的推移都在上涨，也就是货币的时间价值正在下跌。

1.tell sb. to sth告诉某人去做某事，可知填to buy。

2.which引导的时一个定语从句，先行词two chocolate candy bars是复数，因此填cost。

3.as引导时间状语从句，不可数名词time是从句的主语，故填goes。

4.句意：这被叫做货币的时间价值。由此可知应该用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is called。

5.句意：但是现在你仅能买2个，因为这个价格已经涨到了50美分。根据句意分析应用现在完成时，故填has risen。

考点：词汇应用。
