【分析】
这是一篇农场主题的短文补全题，解题思路是先通读全文，梳理文章介绍Tom农场动物的行文顺序，再逐空匹配前后文的关键词和逻辑关系：
1. 先看第1空的后文描述“它们长着大鼻子小眼睛”，对应猪的特征，找和猪相关的选项；
2. 第2空前文直接引出“看这些马”，直接选和马相关的描述即可；
3. 第3空前文刚提到Tom最喜欢的动物是奶牛和鸡，已经说完了奶牛每天产奶，接下来自然要介绍鸡的特点；
4. 第4空后文的回答是“只有一只”，说明空格是询问数量的问句，找对应的疑问句选项；
5. 第5空前文提到城市里的孩子周末常来农场参观，接下来顺理成章要描述孩子们在农场的活动，匹配对应选项即可。
【解析】

4. 空后回答“Only one.”是对数量问题的回应，E选项“How many dogs does Tom have?”是询问狗的数量的问句，和后文回答、后续介绍狗的内容完全匹配，选E。
5. 空前句说明城市的孩子周末常来农场参观，C选项“They like to see the pigs, ride the horses or collect eggs.”描述孩子们在农场的游玩活动，承接前文的“visit the farm”，符合语境，选C。
