【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇故事，讲述了作者因与某侦探要找的人长得相似而被错误跟踪的有趣经历。一天当作者走进饭店就餐时，无意中发现一个人在监视他。当那个人看到作者和服务员很熟悉时，就到厨房里询问，结果发现弄错了。

1.A.动词辨析。 A. noticed 发现；B. understood 理解；C. knew知道； D. recognized认出。通读全文可知，作者是因为长相和逃犯相似而被侦探跟踪，他与那个人并不认识，因此可排除C，D。B与全文语境不符。

2.B.连词辨析。 A. since自从；B. . as if 似乎，好像； C. though虽然； D. even if即使。由于那个人不停地往“我”这个方向看，给“我”的感觉是好像他认识“我”，选B。

3.B 形容词辨析。A. flat 扁平的；B. open 敞开的； C. cut 剪切的； D. fixed固定的。根据后文可知，那个人是侦探。而根据常识可知，侦探肯定是利用那张报纸作掩护的。由此可知，那张报纸是open的。另外，下文的…he was ___ to read 也暗示我们，报纸是打开的。

4.C动词辨析。A. hoping 希望；B. thinking思考；C. pretending假装； D. continuing继续。由于下文讲到那个人是侦探，并且是跟踪“我”来餐馆的，所以他肯定不是在真读报，而是在利看报纸作掩护，故填 C最佳。

5.A动词辨析。 A. see 看到； B. find发现；C. guess猜想；D. learn学习。作者在上文说，那个人是在假装看报，所以下文说的应该是作者可以看出(see)他在盯着“我”看。

6.D.名词辨析。 A. menu菜单；B. bill 账单；C. paper 报纸，论文；D. food食物。根据文章开头说的…waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive 可知，此处应填 food。

7.C形容词辨析。 A. direct 直接的；B. strange 奇怪的；C. familiar 熟悉的；D. funny滑稽的。文章开头说sitting at my favorite table，既然有favorite table，说明经常来这里。另外，下文又说all the waiters in the restaurant knew me，这说明我与服务员都很熟。由此可推知选C。

8.A动词短语辨析。A. chatted with 与某人聊天；B. looked at 看；C. laughed at 嘲笑；D. talked about谈论。根据此处的语境，只有chat with最佳。

9.B 名词辨析。A. the waiter 服务员；B. time 时间；C. I 我；D. the dinner晚饭。从故事的发展看来，作者在餐馆里待得时间越长，和服务员聊的越多，侦探越觉得有些奇怪，as time went on指随着时间的推移。选B。

10.C 形容词辨析。A. true 真实的；B. hopeful 有希望的；C. clear 清楚明白的；D. possible可能的。此处的it为形式主语，其后的that all the waiters…是主语从句，从上文内容可以推测侦探认为餐馆里所有的服务员都认识“我”这件事变得很明显，故选clear。

11.C名词辨析。 A. restaurant 饭店；B. washroom 洗手间；C. kitchen 厨房；D. office办公室。根据下文讲到的He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man 可知此处应填 kitchen。

12.A动词辨析。 A. left 离开；B. acted行动；C. sat down 坐下；D. calmed down冷静下来。那个人弄清真相，即“我”不是他要找的人)后，知道自己跟错对象了，所以付了账离开(left)了。

13.A动词辨析。A. wanted 想要；B. tried 尝试；C. ordered 命令；D. wished希望。因为那个人开始一直看我，而后来从厨房出来后就看都没看“我”一眼就离开了。根据常识，“我”出于好奇肯定要问问这个人想要干什么。

14.C 动词辨析。A. met 见到；B. caught 逮住；C. followed跟随；D. discovered发现。因为那个人是个侦探，他误认为作者是他要找的人，所以就跟踪他到了餐馆 。

15.D动词辨析。A. was to beat 打； B. was dealing with 对付；C. was to meet 接见，迎接；D. was looking for寻找。从故事内容可知侦探要找罪犯，只有look for 在此符合语境。

16.A名词辨析。A.surprise 惊讶；B. care 在意； C. worry 担心；D. regret遗憾。从情理可以推断当作者听到餐馆老板这样一说，自然感到非常吃惊。

17.A情态动词辨析。A. must必须，；B. can 能够；C. need 需要；D. may可以。从侦探认错人和下文说的 he looked very much like you，可知餐馆里的人也认为作者和罪犯非常相似，选A。句意：我必须说你和他长得非常相似。

18.B名词辨析。 A. discovery发现；B. mistake 错误；C. decision 决定；D. fortune幸运，财富。从故事内容可知侦探误认为作者是逃犯，所以是弄错了，make a mistake“弄错，犯错误”，选B。

19.D词义辨析。A. a pity遗憾；B. natural 自然的；C. a chance机会；D. lucky幸运的。从情理猜测听了餐馆老板的话，作者应该感到非常庆幸(lucky)。因为要不是在这个大家都熟悉他的餐馆里，他可能就遇上麻烦了。

20.C副词辨析。A. t hus 因此，从而；B. however 但是，然而；C. otherwise 否则，要不然；D. therefore 因此，所以。前句说it’s really lucky I came to a restaurant where I’m known，后句又说 I might have been in trouble，其间显然只有用otherwise 来衔接才最通顺。
