25、A3解析：根據(jù)下一句的開頭部分以及下一段的開頭部分可知前來就餐的是一個非常重要的“團體”。答案：A4解析：bemadeupof表示“由組成”，本句的意思是“這個團體是由本市時尚界的重要人物組成的”。答案：B5解析：上一段提到這個團體來到飯店是為了吃午餐，所以此處表示的是他們舒服地“就座”后。A項在文章中沒有信息支持；B項與本句中的comfortably搭配不合理。答案：C6解析：這個團體來到飯店舒適地就座后，“點”好了飲料。此處的order表示“點(飯菜)”。前兩項都不符合常識；根據(jù)下文可知他們當時還沒有得到飲料，所以D項錯誤。答案：C7解析：上一句提到正常情況下，領班負責酒類服務，本句提到經(jīng)

26、理讓作者在那天下午為客人服務，由此可推斷此處表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折關系。答案：B8解析：本句后半部分提到作者也從未給12個人的團體提供過服務，而且本句后半句又是倒裝結構，由此可知前半部分表示的同樣是否定意義，所以作者“從未”進行過酒類服務。答案：C9解析：上一句提到作者把12個酒杯放在托盤上并朝餐桌走去，所以是把其中一個酒杯“擺放”在第一位顧客的面前。打破酒杯是后來發(fā)生的事情，因此B項錯誤；C、D兩項不符合常識。答案：A10解析：本句后半部分提到6個酒杯掉在了地上，由此可知作者當時沒有握緊，所以使用lost，表示“失去”。答案：D11解析：根據(jù)常識可知酒杯打破后應該是“躺”在地上，碎片遍地。如果選擇C項

27、，需要使用被動形式；D項表示“停留”，語意不恰當。答案：B12解析：本段中間部分提到6個酒杯掉在了一位年輕女士的頭上，所以作者多次向這位“女士”道歉。答案：D13解析：經(jīng)理聞訊迅速“趕來”幫助作者進行清理。takeover表示“接管”，giveup表示“放棄”，rushagainst表示“與碰撞”，都不符合語境。答案：B14解析：上一段最后一句提到作者多次向那位女士和團體中其他的人道歉。本句敘述的是這個團體寬恕了作者，由此可知女士“重復地”告訴作者沒有關系。答案：A15解析：此處是經(jīng)理在向作者傳授經(jīng)驗，顯然是讓作者從中吸取教訓，“學”到新的知識。答案：D16解析：經(jīng)理告誡作者不要有”緊張”和失望的表現(xiàn)，過錯和事故時有發(fā)生。作者的過失已經(jīng)發(fā)生，因此D項不正確。答案：C17解析：根據(jù)本句中的confident一詞可知經(jīng)理鼓勵作者昂“首”挺胸。答案：C18解析：雖然作者一時失手打破了幾個酒杯，并冒犯了其中的一位重要顧客，可是經(jīng)理并沒有指責，而是迅速控制了局面，并向作者面授經(jīng)驗，由此可推斷這位經(jīng)理非常受人“尊重”。答案：B19解析：上文中提到女士和這個團體的其他人員寬恕了作者的失誤，本段中提到飯店經(jīng)理在附近地區(qū)頗受尊重，由此可推斷經(jīng)理和這個團體的關系十分“密切”。B項在文章中沒有信息支持。答案：D20解析：經(jīng)
