解析:
文章主要讲的是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。
36. C。通读全文可知，作者与那个人并不认识，因此可排除A和D。B与全文语境不符。C与全文内容吻合。
37. D。比较：since自从……以来，由于；even if 即使；though虽然；as if似乎，好像。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”。
38. B。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。
39. C。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。
40. A。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。
41. D。根据文章开头说的…waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive 可知，此处应填 food。
42. B。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，此处选B最合适。
43. A。比较：chat with与……闲聊；1ook at看；laugh at 嘲笑；talk about谈论……。根据此处的语境，只有chat with最佳。
44. B。as time went on指随着时间的推移。
45. C。此处的it为形式主语，其后的that all the waiters…是主语从句，此句的意思是“餐馆里所有的服务员都认识我”这件事变得很……，比较四个选项和上文的语境，显然只有clear最合适。
46. D。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。
47. A。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。
48. A。因为那个人开始一直看我，而后来进了一次kitchen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。
49. C。follow意为“跟踪”。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 。
50. D。比较：beat打；deal with对付；meet 会见，迎接；look for寻找。显然只有look for 在此符合语境。
51. B。作者听到餐馆老板这样一说，自然感到非常吃惊。
52. A。比较四个选项的意思以及下文说的 he looked very much like you，只有填 must 最佳。
53. B。make a mistake固定短语，意为“出错”“弄错”“犯错误”。
54. D。听了餐馆老板的话，作者感到非常庆幸(lucky)。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。
55. C。比较：thus 因此，从而；however 但是，然而；otherwise 否则，要不然；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。
