【解析】

二位女士因螳螂落在身上，驚恐地又跳又叫引起餐館的混亂，侍者冷靜地抓住螳螂，避免了更多的麻煩。作者由此得出，很多時(shí)候，給你的生活帶來麻煩不是你遇到的問題而是你對這個(gè)問題的反應(yīng)。陷入困境時(shí)，叫喊和哭泣都無助于幫助事情的解決。

【1】句意：那位女士跳了起來，因恐懼而叫開始大叫起來。

joy高興；fear害怕；anger生氣；kindness和藹；根據(jù)下文“She then waved both of her hands, trying to shake it off.”從她的動(dòng)作可以推斷這位女士非常害怕；故選B。

【2】句意：她的反應(yīng)太大了，周圍的人也都害怕了。

someone某人；anyone任何人用于疑問及否定句中；everyone每人；no one沒人；上文描述女士跳了起來，因恐懼而叫開始大叫，揮舞著雙手試圖把螳螂甩掉，推斷下文指她驚恐的反應(yīng)讓周圍的每個(gè)人也都害怕了；故選C。

【3】句意：那位女士終于把蟑螂甩掉了但它落在附近的另一位女士身上。

so因此，表因果；after在……之后，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句；but但是，表轉(zhuǎn)折；as作為……，引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句；從文字的表層意思推斷驚恐的女士終于把螳螂給甩了，但它卻落在另一位女士身上，前后句之間存有轉(zhuǎn)折之意，故選C。

【4】句意：然后，輪到另一位女士跳起來大喊。

turn輪轉(zhuǎn)；duty；habit習(xí)慣；chance機(jī)會(huì)；由上文可知前一位女士又跳又叫把螳螂甩掉，螳螂落到附近的另一位女士身上，推斷空格處指輪到這位女士又跳又叫；故選A。

【5】句意：過了一會(huì)兒，蟑螂落在了沖過來幫忙的侍者身上，他一動(dòng)不動(dòng)地站著，用兩根手指抓住了蟑螂立刻把它扔出餐廳。

beat打敗；caught抓住；prevented阻止；punished懲罰；根據(jù)下文“threw it out of the restaurant right away.”推斷上文指侍者抓住了螳螂；故選B。

【6】句意：混亂突然發(fā)生時(shí)，我在那里喝咖啡。

died out消失；went out出去；broke out突然發(fā)生；worked out解答；由上文可知螳螂落在女士的身上引起的混亂是突然發(fā)生的，故選C。

【7】句意：我開始懷疑這家餐館的混亂是否是蟑螂引起的。

led to引起、導(dǎo)致；gave out散發(fā)；depended依靠；brought up顯現(xiàn)、激發(fā)；根據(jù)下文“If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?”從服務(wù)員沒有被打擾，作者懷疑這場混亂是否是螳螂引起的；故選A。

【8】句意：他完美地處理這件事，避免了更多的麻煩。

terribly非常；crazily瘋狂地；excitedly興奮地；perfectly完美地；根據(jù)下文“avoiding more trouble.”推斷上文指侍者完美地處理了這件事， 故選D。

【9】句意：然而，女士們都如此害怕蟑螂以致把事情變得更糟了。

more更多的；better更好；worse更糟的；simpler更簡單的；比較二位女士和侍者的處理方式可知是她們的驚恐的情緒制造了餐廳的混亂，使事情更糟；故選C。

【10】句意：當(dāng)你陷入困境時(shí)，叫喊和哭泣都無濟(jì)于事。

pass通過；help幫助；solve解決；change改變；根據(jù)上文描述的二位女士處理螳螂的經(jīng)過，可知陷入困境時(shí)，叫喊和哭泣都無助于幫助事情的解決；故選B。

解答完型填空前要跳空閱讀全文，理解大意；再閱讀選項(xiàng)，逐個(gè)理解選項(xiàng)的詞義；然后回歸原文，根據(jù)語法 、句意、上下文聯(lián)系、固定搭配或句型排除干擾項(xiàng)，得出答案。本篇完型填空考查詞匯辨析，都要通過上下文聯(lián)系排除與句子表達(dá)不符的選項(xiàng)；如題5根據(jù)下文的陳述侍者把螳螂扔出飯店判斷他抓住螳螂；題9的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是比較級，要通過上文的描述二位女士驚恐的情緒制造了餐廳的混亂，使事情更糟，選用worse；完篇后，要把答案回歸原文，通讀全文，檢查語法是否正確、語義是否合乎文章的意思。
