答案
36-40:CDBCA 41-45:DBABC 46-50:DAACD 51-55:BABDC
解析
36.解析:notice注意到。know,understand和recognize都不合句意。
37.解析:as if似乎。根据上文“kept glancing in my direction”可判断出这个人似乎认识作者。since因为;even if即使;though虽然。
38.解析:have sth.open把……打开。根据下文的内容可判断出这个人把报纸打开了,摊放在自己的面前。flat(使)变平;cut切(割);fix使固定。
39.解析:pretend假装。这个人把报纸摊放在自己面前假装在看报纸,实际上是在监视我。
40.解析:see看见,看到。从上文作者对这个人的注意可判断出see是正确答案。find发现,表示经过努力寻找到的事实,与上下文的内容矛盾。guess猜测;learn了解。
41.解析:根据上文“waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive”可判断出这时服务员给作者端来了食物。menu菜单;bill账单;paper纸。
42.解析:familiar熟悉。下文“all the waiter in the restaurant knew me”说明作者与饭店里的服务员都很熟悉。direct直接的;strange奇怪的;funny有趣的。
43.解析:chat with与……闲谈。根据常识可判断出比较熟悉的人们见面后常会闲聊几句。look at看着;laugh at嘲笑;talk about谈论。
44.解析:从上文“he seemed even more puzzled”可以看出,随着时间的推移,他越来越感到迷惑不解。
45.解析:clear清晰。根据上文内容可判断出情况变得非常清晰,饭店里的所有服务员都认识作者。true真实的;hopeful有希望的;possible可能的。
46.解析:下文“he came into the kitchen”表明这个人去了厨房。
47.解析:从下文可看出这个人离开了饭店。
48.解析:由于这个人对作者感到迷惑不解,也引起作者想知道他想做什么。wish后不接名词或代词作宾语,所以不能用what提问。
49.解析:follow跟随。从上文知道,这个人是一位侦探,他跟随着作者来到饭店。meet遇见;catch捉住;discover发现。
50.解析:定语从句was looking for修饰the man,他要寻找的人。
51.解析:根据上文 “What?” I said可判断出作者对此感到惊讶。care关心;worry担心;regret后悔。
52.解析:must必须。饭店老板对作者与照片上的人如此相像表示肯定。
53.解析:make a mistake弄错。饭店的人员对作者很熟悉,知道这位侦探搞错了。
54.解析:lucky幸运。根据下文“I came to a restaurant where I’m known”可判断出作者感到幸运。
55.解析:otherwise否则。常与虚拟语气连用。如果不是去一家与服务员熟悉的饭店可能会陷入麻烦。
