解析:

文章主要講的是作者因與某偵探要找的人長得相似而被錯誤跟蹤的有趣經(jīng)歷。

36. C。通讀全文可知，作者與那個人并不認識，因此可排除A和D。B與全文語境不符。C與全文內(nèi)容吻合。

37. D。比較：since自從……以來，由于；even if 即使；though雖然；as if似乎，好像。由于那個人不停地往“我”這個方向看，給“我”的感覺是好像他認識“我”。

38. B。根據(jù)后文可知，那個人是偵探。而根據(jù)常識可知，偵探肯定是利用那張報紙作掩護的。由此可知，那張報紙是open的。另外，下文的…h(huán)e was ___ to read 也暗示我們，報紙是打開的。

39. C。由于下文講到那個人是偵探，并且是跟蹤“我”來餐館的，所以他肯定不是在真讀報，而是在利看報紙作掩護，故填 C最佳。

40. A。作者在上文說，那個人是在假裝看報，所以下文說的應該是作者可以看出(see)他在盯著“我”看。

41. D。根據(jù)文章開頭說的…waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive 可知，此處應填 food。

42. B。文章開頭說sitting at my favorite table，既然有favorite table，說明經(jīng)常來這里。另外，下文又說all the waiters in the restaurant knew me，這說明我與服務員都很熟。由此可推知，此處選B最合適。

43. A。比較：chat with與……閑聊；1ook at看；laugh at 嘲笑；talk about談論……。根據(jù)此處的語境，只有chat with最佳。

44. B。as time went on指隨著時間的推移。

45. C。此處的it為形式主語，其后的that all the waiters…是主語從句，此句的意思是“餐館里所有的服務員都認識我”這件事變得很……，比較四個選項和上文的語境，顯然只有clear最合適。

46. D。根據(jù)下文講到的He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man 可知此處應填 kitchen。

47. A。那個人弄清真相(即“我”不是他要找的人)后，知道自己跟錯對象了，所以付了賬離開(left)了。

48. A。因為那個人開始一直看我，而后來進了一次kitchen后就看都沒看“我”一眼就離開了。根據(jù)常識，“我”出于好奇肯定要問問這個人想要干什么。

49. C。follow意為“跟蹤”。因為那個人是個偵探，他誤認為作者是他要找的人，所以就跟蹤他到了餐館 。

50. D。比較：beat打；deal with對付；meet 會見，迎接；look for尋找。顯然只有l(wèi)ook for 在此符合語境。

51. B。作者聽到餐館老板這樣一說，自然感到非常吃驚。

52. A。比較四個選項的意思以及下文說的 he looked very much like you，只有填 must 最佳。

53. B。make a mistake固定短語，意為“出錯”“弄錯”“犯錯誤”。

54. D。聽了餐館老板的話，作者感到非常慶幸(lucky)。要不是在這個大家都熟悉他的餐館里，他可能就遇上麻煩了。

55. C。比較：thus 因此，從而；however 但是，然而；otherwise 否則，要不然；therefore 因此，所以。前句說it’s really lucky I came to a restaurant where I’m known，后句又說 I might have been in trouble，其間顯然只有用otherwise 來銜接才最通順。
