解析：

(1)	他想解馋，可又囊中羞涩，所以“逗留”在餐馆外面，尽情闻着饭菜的香味。
(2)	店主虽然几次让他走开，但他无法“离开”这美妙的味道。
(3)	他不愿离开，“虽然”他买不起餐馆中的食物。
(4)	全文用的都是过去时，而本句后面是he not go away，由此可推断是he should not go away的省略，四个选项中只有require可以这么用。此外，前两项多用于正式场合。
(5)	只要他“不”付一半的费用，就不能离开。
(6)	此处是对客观事实的陈述，根据上文内容显然是他很“可怜”，也与文章的开头相呼应。
(7)	他想问第一个在此路过的人厨师这么要求“是否”不合理而且不公平。
(8)	根据上文的叙述可知这只是一件“小事”。A项一般指重大事件；根据事情发生的缘由可知不是“案件”，所以C项不恰当。
(9)	happen to do sth表示“碰巧做某事”，即警察碰巧在此经过。
(10)	根据上文可知是食物的味道“款待”了他的嗅觉器官。
(11)	此处与最后一段第一句后半句中的payment相呼应。
(12)	shall用于第二人称时，可以表示根据法律、协议等规定应该做某事，再结合警察的身份，可判断此项正确。
(13)	上文提到他在餐馆外面闻着饭菜的美味久久不愿离去，由此可推断他的嗅觉难以满足。
(14)	他的嗅觉比“胃口”更难以满足。后两项意思基本相同，可排除。
(15)	此处but是介词，意为“除了……之外”。句中in the world表示加强语气。
(16)	受开头第一句的影响，很容易选择D项，但由短文内容可知他没有足够的钱买一顿饭，所以只能买“一些面包”充饥。
(17)	警察让他双手“拿着”硬币。A、B两项基本同意；D项表示“去拿过来”，都不符合语意。
(18)	警察“转向”厨师说。前三项后面不能直接跟宾语。
(19)	饭菜的味道满足了烟囱清洁工的嗅觉，钱币的响声逗乐了厨师的“耳朵”。
(20)	解析：厨师在众人面前尴尬万分，“溜进”了餐馆。 　　文章大意：可怜的烟囱清洁工囊中羞涩，却又难以抵挡餐馆中饭菜美味的诱惑，于是久久伫立在门外，迟迟不肯离去，没想到厨师竟让他支付闻到饭味的费用。荒唐归荒唐，聪明的警察最终以其人之道还治其人之身。
