【試題解析】

1. B felt 是“摸”的意思。

2. A 從第二段最后一句話可以得出此答案。

3. D 是“點菜、要……食品”的意思。

4. A 此處意為“把啤酒杯放在兩只手之間”。Placed是過去分詞做get后的賓語補足語。

5. C 只有couple在此表示具體的“量”。A few是“一些”的意思。

6. A 啤酒喝多了應該是找“洗手間”了。

7. A 短語look for意為“尋找”。

8. C 此處instead 意為“代替、相反”。

9. D lead to意為“通往”，get to“到達”，open to“朝……敞開”，turn to 意為“轉向”。

10. B scared意為“害怕”，過去分詞短語表示狀態(tài)，他以為是掉進了“這么大的小便池里”，當然是“處于害怕的狀態(tài)中”。
