I had nothing.
Surely there must be______ I could sincerely compliment (称赞)her on. Then there it was, and I knew instantly(=at once).
It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well spoken and clear voice, It was SO good. And that was what I would________ her for.
So after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude, I told her. I said: “I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you have the most ______voice. It's so clear, well spoken and sounds so professional.”
I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be_______ for voice-overs(配音), announcements or even radio.

【解析】
文章大意:作者去饭店吃饭,遇到女服务员心情不太好,作者用自己的语言和善良让她开心起来。
【1】句意:但不太可爱的是接我们订单的那位女士。
seat座位;food食物;order点菜;menu菜单。根据下句When it was my turn to come close to her and order, I thought to myself,当轮到我靠近她点餐时,我心想可知,那位女士是负责我们订餐的,take one’s order点菜,故答案为C。
【2】句意:她说话的方式不耐烦、不高兴,当然不友好,还有点粗鲁。
impatient不耐烦;warm-hearted热心的;shy害羞的;proud骄傲的。根据空后词unhappy, certainly not friendly and sort of rude不高兴,当然不友好,还有点粗鲁的提示,空处的词应是否定意义的词“不耐烦”,故答案为A。
【3】句意:我自己在服务行业工作,我注意到了。
understood理解;looked看;considered仔细考虑;noticed注意到。根据下句“What can I do here to make her day, to appreciate her, to make her smile?我能做些什么来让她高兴,欣赏她,让她微笑可知,作者“注意到了”女服务员的心情不好,故答案为D。
【4】句意:肯定有什么我可以真诚地称赞她的事情。
nothing没有事情;something某事;anything任何事情;everything每一件事情。根据上句 I had nothing.我没有事情可做和本句中surely的提示可知,肯定有我可以真诚地称赞她的事情,故空处的词为“某件事情”,故答案为B。
【5】句意:那就是我要赞扬她的事情。
thank感谢;praise赞扬;blame责备;trust相信。根据上句 It was SO good.它是那么地好可知,空处的词应为“赞扬”,故答案为B。
【6】句意:但是你有最令人惊奇的声音。
amazing令人惊奇的;amusing逗笑的;funny有趣的;trusty可信赖的。 根据前句She had the most unbelievably well spoken and clear voice她有着令人难以置信的流利的语言和清晰的声音可知,空处的词为“令人惊奇的”,故答案为A。

【8】句意:我后面的顾客得到了完全不同的服务,一种更好的服务。
payment付款;service服务;understanding理解;choice选择。根据前句 and as I left and walked away, noticed her whole attitude change.当我离开时,注意到她整个的态度发生了变化可知,空处的词为“服务”,故答案为B。
【9】句意:事情很简单。
simple简单的;different不同的;interesting有趣的;difficult困难的。由前文女服务员的不高兴、不耐烦,仅仅因为作者的一句称赞,服务员整个的态度发生了变化可知,空处的词为“简单的”,故答案为A。
