【解析】【主旨大意】：本文是一篇记叙文。父亲请朋友吃饭让儿子去买肉，当儿子买完出门时遇到了另一个人，他们谁都不肯让路，后来父亲找来，让儿子把肉送回家，自己替儿子继续站着对势的幽默故事。

1.speak“说”其后跟语言；answer“回答”，say“说”其后跟内容；ask“叫，请”其后跟to do不定式。根据句意：一天他的父亲决定请一些朋友在家吃饭。故选D。

2.hope“希望”，不能用hope sb to do sth这种形式；tell“告诉”，其后跟to do不定式，let“使，让”，其后跟动词原形；wished“希望”一般其后跟不能实现的愿望。故选B。

3.why “为什么”，where “哪里”，what“什么”， which “哪一个”，根据句意：当他买到他父亲想要的东西。空格中的词作want的宾语。故选C。

4.long“长”；wide“宽”；high“高”，narrow“狭窄”。根据句意：这个门让两个人同时进来或者出去不足够宽。故选B。

5.either表示“或者”，all表示“（三者或者三者以上）都”，both表示“（两者）都”，neither 表示“（两者）不”，根据句中but表示转折关系，其前后的句意相反或者相对，可知此处句意：“两人都不让路”。故选D。 

6.stood 表示“站立”，went表示“去”，lay表示“躺”，walked 表示“走”。根据上文可知句意：他们面对面站了一个小时有一个小时。故选A。

7.gone 表示“去”，bought表示“买”，returned表示“回来”，been表示“去”。根据上文“父亲很着急”可知：“儿子还没有回来”。故选C。

8.What’s the matter with…?表示“……怎么了？”固定句型。

9.根据上文可知父亲让儿子去买肉。故选A。

10.politely 表示“礼貌的”，instead表示“代替”，safely表示“安全的”，kindly表示“和蔼的，可亲的”。根据句意：让我在这里代替你站着反对他。故选B。
