答案：AABBB

解析：

1. 题目问的是“从牧羊人妻子那句‘一看就知道这位先生很有钱，什么都不用做’中，可以推断出她什么态度？”，根据原文，牧羊人的妻子觉得灰衣人喝了自己太多蜂蜜酒，很不高兴，说这句话是在讽刺他（对应原文：'No, no,' said his wife. 'It is easy to see that the gentleman is rich, and doesn't need to work at anything.'）。故选A。

2. 题目问的是“关于灰衣人工作的说法，以下哪一项是正确的？”，根据原文，灰衣人必须工作，今晚半夜才能到达卡斯特桥，也必须在明早8点开始工作，无论严寒酷暑、下雨下雪，明天都得去做自己一天的工作（对应原文：I have to work, and I do work. And even if I only get to Casterbridge by midnight tonight, I must begin work there at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Yes, hot or cold, rain or snow, I must do my day's work tomorr'Rich is not the word for me, madam,' replied the man in grey. 'I have to work, and I do work. And even if I only get to Casterbridge by midnight tonight, I must begin work there at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Yes, hot or cold, rain or snow, I must do my day's work tomorrow.'）。故选A。

3. 题目问的是“灰衣人最后一杯酒是什么”，根据原文，尽管不舍得，牧羊人妻子最终还是给陌生人喝了他们最好的蜂蜜酒（对应原文：'But he's in our house, my love, and 'tis a miserable wet night. What's a mug of mead more or less?' 'Very well, just this time then,' she said, looking sadly at the mead.）。故选B。

4. 题目问的是“灰衣人走之前想要做什么？”，根据原文，走之前灰衣人还想要再喝一杯（对应原文：'Well, it's the work that I have to do, that's all. Now I must leave you, friends. But before I go, there's time for one more drink to your baby's health. Only, the mug is empty.'）。故选B。

5. 题目问的是“灰衣人是做什么工作的？”，根据原文，陌生人是在用歌声回答了自己的工作，他是刽子手（对应原文：'Oh, he's the hangman!' they whispered to each other. 'He's come to hang that poor clockmaker tomorrow in Casterbridge prison — the clockmaker who had no work）。故选B。
