【解析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述作者和父亲去餐馆吃饭的时候，给餐馆里吃饭的士兵买单，服务员深受感动给父亲表演歌剧，每个人都看到了别人有价值的地方的一段经历。

1.

句意：当我们坐下来时，我爸爸问服务员是否餐馆里有任何士兵在就餐。

if是否；when什么时间；why为什么。根据asked以及“there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant”可知此处用if表示不确定“是否”。故选A。

2.

句意：我爸爸告诉服务员他会为他们付钱。

look for寻找；care for在意；pay for付款。根据“He also told the waitress to keep the secret because he didn't want the soldier to know about it”可知此处表示付款并希望服务员保密，用动词短语pay for。故选C。

3.

句意：服务员很感动，说以前从没有看到任何像这样的事情。

anything任何东西；something某样东西；nothing没有什么东西。根据“had never seen”可知是否定句，用不定代词anything。故选A。

4.

句意：她以前在当地的大学学习唱歌，她想后来表演一段《珍珠渔夫》的片段来感谢我父亲的好心。

cooking烹饪；singing唱歌；driving开车。根据“performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman”可知是在唱歌，此处用singing。故选B。

5.

句意：一会儿之后，士兵出现在我们桌子旁（我不知道他怎样知道我父亲为他所做的事）说第二天他将被派往前线。

ordered预订；expected期望；appeared出现。此处用动词appeared表示“出现，露面”。故选C。

6.

句意：当士兵离开的时候他们热情地握手。

simply简单地，只是；warmly温暖地，热情地；suddenly突然地。此处用副词warmly表达“士兵离开时热情地握手”。故选B。

7.

句意：我爸爸除了给她50元的小费，还给她留了一个电子邮箱要求她的下一次表演。

dinner饭；picnic野餐；show秀。根据“she wanted to thank my father for his kind heart by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman later”以及“She did what she promised to do”可知服务员表演了歌曲，父亲想要她下一次表演。故选C。

8.

句意：那天晚上每个人都看到了一些有价值的东西。

valuable有价值的；serious严肃的；common平常的。根据前文父亲给士兵买单，服务员深受感动给父亲表演歌剧，每个人都看到了别人有价值的地方，此处用褒义形容词valuable。故选A。
