解析【小题1】C 考查动词。作者正在等着上饭的时候，突然注意到（noticed）坐在靠近窗口的一个人不停地朝他这边扫视，引起了他的警觉。know意为“知道，了解，认识，认出”；understand意为“懂，了解，听说，以为”；notice意为“注意到，看到，留心”；recognize意为“认出，认可，承认”。根据句中关键词“Suddenly”可知只有noticed符合语境。
【小题2】D考查连词。那个人不停地朝作者这边扫视，好像（as if）他认识作者。since意为“自……以后/以来，因为，既然”；even if意为“即使”；though意为“虽然，尽管”；as if意为“好像，好似”。句中的“kept glancing in my direction”是关键信息。
【小题3】B考查动词。 那个人在面前展开（open）一张报纸，装作在看报。flat意为“（使）变平”；open意为“展开, 开始, 展现”；cut意为“切，割，剪”；fixed意为“固定，注视”等。根据下文“which he was 39 to read”可知报纸是展开的。
【小题4】C考查动词。那个人虽然展开了报纸，但是假装（pretending）在看报。他是在拿报纸作掩护，实际上是在窥视作者。hope意为“希望，盼望，期待”；think意为“认为，以为，预料”；pretend意为“假装，装扮”；continue意为“继续，连续”。从下文“but I could 40 that he was keeping an eye on me.”可知那个人并非真的在看报。
【小题5】A考查动词。作者可以看出（see）那个人一直在窥视他。see意为“发觉，注意，看见”；find意为“发现，找到，感到”；guess意为“猜测，推测，认为”；learn意为“获悉，了解，认识到”。该题根据上文意境容易做出判断。
【小题6】D考查名词。当服务员为我端来食物（food）时，那个人感到困惑。menu意为“菜单”；bill意为“账单，清单”；paper意为“纸，报纸，文件”；food意为“食物”。从第一段第一句中的“waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive”可知答案。
【小题7】B考查形容词。 那个人对我和服务员之间闲谈（chatted with）的那种常见的或听惯的（familiar）方式感到困惑。direct意为“直接的，直率的”；familiar意为“常见的，听惯的，熟悉的”；strange意为“陌生的，奇怪的”；funny意为“有趣的，好笑的，滑稽的，古怪的”。服务员和顾客之间简短的闲谈在服务场合是司空见惯的，由此常识可做出判断。
【小题8】A考查动词短语。参考第42题。chat with意为“与……聊天，与……闲谈”；look at意为“看着，考虑”；laugh at意为“嘲笑，漠视”；talk about意为“谈论，讨论，议论”。因为作者常去那家饭店，对那里的人和环境都比较熟悉，和服务员之间的闲聊是常有的事。
【小题9】B考查名词。 时间（time）一分分地过去，那个人好像感到更加困惑。as time went on表示“时间渐渐的过去”。那个人对作者和服务员之间的那种闲聊的方式越来越感到怀疑。
【小题10】C考查形容词。 很明显（clear），那个饭店的服务员都认识作者。true意为“真实的，真正的，正确的”；hopeful意为“有希望的”；clear意为“明显的，清楚的，清晰的”；possible意为“可能的”。从第一段首句中的“ ……I was waiting at my favorite table in a restaurant”可知作者是这家饭店的常客，因此，这里所有的服务员都认识他是显而易见的。
【小题11】D考查名词。 最后那个人站起来走进厨房（kitchen）。从下文“He came into the kitchen…”可知答案。
【小题12】A考查动词。那个人从厨房里出来付了账单后，没有再朝作者那边看一眼就离开（left）了饭店。leave意为“离开，动身，剩下”；act意为“行动，扮演”；sit down意为“坐下”；calm down意为“平静下来，镇定下来”。从下文可知侦探弄清作者不是他要找的人时，就离开了饭店。
【小题13】A考查动词。我向饭店主人询问那个人想要（wanted）什么。want意为“想要，希望，需要”；try意为“试图，试，试验”；order意为“命令，吩咐”；wish意为“希望，想要”。表示“想要……”时，want后可以直接跟宾语，wish后须加介词for后才能跟宾语。
【小题14】C考查动词。侦探原以为作者就是他在寻找（was looking for）的人，于是就跟随（follow）他来到这家饭店。meet意为“遇见，相遇，和……会面”；catch意为“捕获，赶上”；follow意为“跟随，注视，追随，注视”；discover意为“发现，发觉”。侦探发现可疑的人后，往往对其跟踪或盯梢。
【小题15】D考查动词。参考第49题。be to beat意为“打算打（败）”；be dealing with意为“在处理，在对付”；be to meet意为“打算会见/迎接”；be looking for意为“在寻找，在期待”。
【小题16】B考查名词。作者得知自己被误认为是嫌疑人而被盯梢时，表现出惊愕（surprise）。care意为“注意，照料，忧虑”；surprise意为“惊奇，惊愕，诧异”；worry意为“烦恼，忧虑，苦恼”；regret意为“遗憾，悔恨，抱歉”。句中的“What?”为关键信息词。
【小题17】A考查动词。 饭店主人坚持（must）说侦探要找的人和作者看起来很像。must意为“坚持要，一定要”；can意为“可能，能够”；need意为“必须，必要”；may意为“可能，也许”。侦探在饭店主人有充足的理由证明作者不是他要找的人时，才肯罢休。
【小题18】B考查名词。饭店的人告诉侦探他搞错（mistake）了。make a discovery意为“发现”；make a mistake意为“做错，犯错（误）”；make a decision意为“做出决定”；make a fortune意为“发财，赚（大）钱”。侦探误以为作者是嫌疑人而对其进行跟踪，结果被饭店人员证明侦探搞错了。
【小题19】D考查形容词。作者到店员认识他的饭店用餐感到很幸运（lucky）。pity意为“憾事，怜悯”；natural意为“自然的”；chance意为“机会，运气”；lucky意为“幸运的，侥幸的”。
【小题20】C考查副词。幸亏饭店的人和作者很熟，不然的话（Otherwise），作者也许就陷入了麻烦。thus意为“因而，如此，从而，这样” ；however意为“可是，仍然”；otherwise意为“否则，不然的话” ；therefore意为“因此，所以”。

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking? at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. tailor B. doctor C. guard D. painter
People who are farsighted ________ .
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A. with wide open eyes B. with half shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction

Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(当代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.
It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.
A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not work
B. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation
C. old people were given the task of imparting the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generations
D. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life
According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is true?
A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.
B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.
C. When they reach a certain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and beneficial.
D. With the growing inflation, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.
The phrase “this need” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. prolonging the dying old people’s lives
B. reducing the problems caused by the retired people
C. making profits through caring for the sick or weak people
D. taking care of the sick or weak people
Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?
A. Sympathetic. B. Approving. C. Optimistic. D. Critical.
