To my disappointment, the group got served 【2】 me. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I overheard one of them bragging(吹噓) about how he’s 【3】 to someone who works at the restaurant. Unable to take it anymore, I decided to leave. I called the waiter over to 【4】 my order.

He calmly told me, “Yours is a special order being prepared by the head chef himself. It’ll take a little more time. Please have a drink while you wait.”

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，通過作者的一次就餐經(jīng)歷來闡述等待的意義。人生就像這次就餐經(jīng)歷一樣，有些人早早就享受到了勝利的果實，而我們還得忍受漫長的等待，但仍要報以希望。因為之所以會等待這么久，是因為命運(yùn)為你準(zhǔn)備了一份特殊大禮，而準(zhǔn)備這份大禮需要花更多的時間。

【1】句意：大約20分鐘后，一大群人走了進(jìn)來，并點了單。

結(jié)合前后文I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food和To my disappointment, the group got served before me可知，“我”和一群人先后進(jìn)了一家餐館并各自點了單。備選單詞中order作名詞，意為“點菜”，空格前為形容詞性物主代詞their，可知這群人點單不止一份，故order應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故答案為orders。

【2】句意：令我失望的是，這群人比我先獲得了服務(wù)。

根據(jù)下文I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily可知，盡管“我”先來點的單，但是餐廳卻給后來的這群人先上了菜，“我”只能干看著他們開始吃飯。備選單詞中before作介詞，意為“在……之前”，符合句意，故答案為before。

【3】句意：我無意中聽到其中一個人吹噓自己和餐館里某些員工很熟。

結(jié)合前后文I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily和Unable to take it anymore, I decided to leave可知，“我”先來了結(jié)果還只能看著別人先吃，他們一邊先吃一邊顯擺自己與餐廳的某些員工相熟，于是“我”生氣了，想走人了。be connected to為固定搭配，意為“與……有關(guān)系”，符合句意，故答案為connected。

【4】句意：我叫來了服務(wù)員，想讓他取消我的點單。

根據(jù)句意及句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入意為“取消”的動詞，與前面的to構(gòu)成動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)，作目的狀語。備選單詞中cancel作動詞，意為“取消”，在動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)中應(yīng)用原形，故答案為cancel。

【5】句意：不久之后，我的飯菜由兩個服務(wù)員端了過來，一同前來的還有另外四個助手。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處單詞應(yīng)用于修飾后面的名詞waiters，且根據(jù)后面with another four helpers提示，空格處也應(yīng)填入一個表數(shù)量的基數(shù)詞。備選單詞中序數(shù)詞second可轉(zhuǎn)換為基數(shù)詞two，意為“兩個”，符合句意，故答案為two。

【6】句意：令我驚訝的是，餐館的老板原來是我一個很久沒聯(lián)系的朋友。

turn out to be為固定搭配，意為“原來是”，且本文在敘述一件發(fā)生過的故事，故此處應(yīng)用一般過去時，動詞turn應(yīng)用過去式，故答案為turned。

【7】句意：他把我原本簡簡單單的一餐飯免費升級為五星級大餐。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入形容詞作定語修飾后面的名詞meal，且根據(jù)句中upgraded … to a five-star meal提示可知，作者原本點的菜應(yīng)該是很普通簡單的，所以才有“升級到五星級大餐”這一說法。備選單詞中simple意為“簡單的”，符合句意，故答案為simple。

【8】句意：突然，他們開始低聲抱怨，詢問他們?yōu)槭裁礇]有得到這種服務(wù)。

根據(jù)空格前的asking提示，空格處應(yīng)填入why來引導(dǎo)后面的從句。備選單詞中why意為“為什么”，符合句意，故答案為why。

【9】句意：人生就是這么回事。

根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，句子缺主語。備選單詞中such作代詞，意為“這樣的”，在句中可作主語，且位于句首首字母大寫，故答案為Such。

【10】句意：你在不知疲倦努力工作的同時，也在疑惑為什么你要花這么長時間才能得到與他們相同的回報。

根據(jù)空格后tirelessly提示，空格處指的是“努力工作”。備選單詞中hard作副詞，與前面的working構(gòu)成短語work hard，意為“努力工作”，符合句意，故答案為hard。
