【解析】

試題分析：作者講述了自己一次讓人尷尬的經歷。剛剛在飯店做服務員時，有一天飯店客人很多，作者感到有點應付不了。但是這時她突然發(fā)現了一個托盤架，這個托盤架給了她很大幫助，讓她做起事來得心應手，她甚至感到自己天生就是做這工作的人。但是正當她得意時卻被人提醒她用的是別人的助步器。

1.D名詞辨析。 A. 經理；B.售貨員；C.廚師；D.服務員。前文說在飯店找到一份工作，后文出現了carry the heavy trays (托盤)，由此可知“我”是服務員，而從情理推斷新手需要有經驗的服務員帶著一起干。所以D選項正確。

2.D動詞辨析。A.許諾；B.邀請；C.建議；D.允許。前句提到跟隨一位有經驗的服務員干了幾天，所以應該是允許自己獨自為顧客服務了。所以正確答案是D。

3.A副詞辨析。A.好地，順利地；B. 迅速；C. 安全地；D. 錯誤地；從下文的敘述可知在周末出了一點小狀況，所以推測第一周應該“一切都很順利。”所以A選項正確。All went well that first week.

4.D動詞辨析。 A. 離開；       B.展示；C.帶來；D. 給。由句意可知我有幸被給機會在離廚房不遠的一張桌子邊服務。所以應用give，其它動詞不合語境。

5.A副詞辨析。A. 然而B. 因此C.否則D.最后。前句話說我負責的桌子離廚房不遠，而下句I still felt a little hard可知盡管我給了這樣一個機會，但仍感到有點吃力，前后句是轉折關系，故用however然而。

6.C名詞辨析。A.廚房B.街道C.飯店D.桌子。故事講述作者在飯店里當服務員時的一次經歷，自然是飯店擠滿了顧客， 所以C選項正確。

7.C動詞辨析。A.帶走      B.改變C.介意，留意D. 挽救。前文提到飯店里擠滿了顧客，而且作者又是新手，從情理推測作者應該是慢慢移動步子，所以用“留意，當心”每一步。 C選項正確。

8.B形容詞辨析。A.生氣的       B.快樂的C.悲傷地D. 平靜的。從上文可知作者很吃力，所以當她看到有個托盤架時應該感到很高興，況且這個托盤架還有一個手柄，很好使，所以B選項正確。

9.B動詞辨析。A.修理；B. 訓練；C.領導；D.等候。從常識可知新員工在正式上崗前要經過學習培訓，所以答案應為B選項。

10.D形容詞辨析。A.更慢；B.更輕；C.更安靜；D.更容易。從前句話中的handles可以推測這個作者認為的托盤架應該是很容易轉動，故選D項。

11.A動詞辨析。A.相信；B.同意；C.遺憾；D. 借口。從I was pleased with everything可知作者有這個托盤架的幫助，做起事來得心應手，甚至不由自主的認為自己天生就是做這種工作的人。故選A項。

12.C動詞辨析。A.讓；B.制作；C. 觀看；D.吃喝。從詞的用法判斷，make/let/have sb do sth 意思為“讓某人做某事”；而watch sb do sth意思為“看著某人做某事”，從語境判斷C選項正確。

13.A形容詞辨析。A.有用的；B.類似的 ；C.不尋常的； D.有趣的。從上文可知作者有了這個托盤架的幫助，做起工作很輕松，所以這個托盤架對于作者是有用的。A選項正確。

14.D動詞辨析。 A.休息；B. 命令 ；C.吃；D. 離開。從情理可知顧客就餐后，應該是要離開了。

15.C名詞辨析。A.包；B.淺盤； C.助步器； D. 大衣。從下文I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker可知這個作者認為的托盤架是老人的助步器，所以C選項正確。

16.A名詞辨析。A.信息；B.贊賞；C.主意 ；D.需要。從后句話“What was he talking about!” Then, I got it.中的then可以判斷作者開始沒有明白他的意思，后來才明白了。故正確答案為選項C。

17.D短語辨析。 A.冷的；B. 充滿快樂；C.蒼白的；D. 著火。從情理可以推測當人做了錯事的時候臉會發(fā)紅，像著了火一樣，而且前面的but也提示此處和 I stood frozen as ice,構成前后的對比，故D正確。

18.C動詞辨析。A.說謊；B.防御；C.隱藏； D.停留。從該句前部分I wanted to get into a hole可知自己當時因尷尬而真想找個洞藏起來，故選B項。

19.D動詞辨析。A.重復；B.發(fā)現；C.改正；D. 描述。通讀文章可知作者是以第一人稱來講述她以前親身經歷的尷尬的事情，所以正確選項為D。

20.B形容詞辨析。A.耐心的；B.仔細的；C.誠實的；D. 實際的。從作者所描述的內容可知，她的那次失誤是因為自己不仔細造成的，所以她要從錯誤中吸取教訓，認真做事，不要對自己太自信。故選B。
