【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了作者在做服务员期间的一次经历。一天作者给一个四人桌的顾客端菜，其中一位顾客不断地问这盘上是什么鱼，那盘上是什么鱼，作者正要回答时他托盘上的最后一盘菜却滑了下来，摔到地上，引得众人侧目，弄的作者非常尴尬。

 考查动词时态。I am serving a table of four 根据上文语境One day in the restaurant where I worked,可知应该用一般过去时，所以把am改为was 。

 考查冠词用法。each person had ordered the different kind of fish.由语境可知此处不是特指概念，表示“一种不同的”要用a different kind of +名词，所以把the 改为 a 。

 考查名词复数。Three plate were already on the table，因为plate是可数名词，而且前面又有three修饰，所以把 plate改为plates。

 考查谓语动词。when the man closest to me pointing to one plate 根据结构判断此句中缺少谓语动词，所以把pointing 改为 pointed 。

 考查非谓语动词。he continued ask me the name of the fish，根据动词用法可知continue 后面跟动词不定式或动名词做宾语，所以在ask前加to或把 ask改为asking。

 考查不定代词用法。 the name of the fish on another one plate，another后面直接跟单数名词或者不定代词，此处语义重复，所以去掉one。

 考查连词用法。I was about to answer him while I noticed that ……根据语法可知be about to do 只和when从句搭配，所以把while 改为 when 。

 考查代词用法。They fell noisily to the floor 从上文可知此处指的是鱼从盘子里掉下来，根据语境可知鱼是一条，所以把They改为 It 。

 考查副词用法。They fell noisily to the floor seconds late, 表示“多长时间后”需用“时间段+later” 表示，所以把late改为 later。

 考查固定短语，Everyone stared me。  stare是不及物动词，盯着看要用stare at ，所以在stared 后加介词at 。

考点：考查短文改错。
