A解析思路分析：这四个选项都有“花费”之意，但用法不同：①物作主语+cost+sb+钱意为：某物花费了某人多少钱例：The bike cost me＄150.买这辆单车花了我150元．②人作主语+pay+钱+for+物pay的过去式为paid而不是payed意为：某人花费了多少钱买某物例：I paid thirty dollars for the T-shirt．我花了30美元买了这件T恤衫．③人作主语+spend+钱/时间+on+物/(in）doing sth.意为：某人花费了多少钱买某物/某人花了多少时间做某事例：I spent twenty dollars on that bag.我花20美元买了那个袋．I spent half an hour in doing the work．我花了半个小时做那项工作．④It作主语+takes+sb+some time+to do sth．意为：干某事花费某人多少时间例：It takes me five minutes to draw the cap．画这个帽子花了我5分钟的时间．本题是the socks作主语即：物作主语，应选择第一种．
