本文是一篇记叙文。作者在一家餐馆吃饭，发现晚于作者到达餐馆的客人居然都早于他吃上了饭，后来才知道，这家餐馆的主人是作者失联好久的朋友，正在为他准备一顿免费的五星级大餐，这让作者很意外。

【1】句意：大约过了二十分钟，一大群人进来，点了他们的菜。

a large group of表示“一大群”，根据 a large group of people”可知一大群人，可推测出此处是“a”，故答案为a。

【2】句意：我看着他们开心地吃着，笑着。

根据“eat and laugh”可知缺副词修饰动词，结合所给单词，可推测出此处是“happily”，故答案为happily。

【3】句意：你的是一个特殊的订单。

根据“__3___(you) is a special order.”可知缺主语，结合所给单词，可推测出此处是名词性物主代词，所以用“yours”，放句首，需大写，故答案为Yours。

【4】句意：厨师长正在亲自准备。

分析句子可知是说话，内容时态不受主句影响。根据“now”可知是现在进行时，结合所给单词，且主语是单数，结合所给单词，可推测出此处是“is preparing”，故答案为is preparing。

【5】句意：没过多久，我的餐点就被六个服务员端上了。

根据“my meal”及“serve”可知是被动关系，可推测出此处是一般过去时的被动语态，结合所给单词，所以用“was served”，故答案为was served。

【6】句意：令我惊讶的是，这家餐馆的老板碰巧是我的一位老朋友。

根据“the+名词+of”可知缺名词，结合所给音标，可推测出此处是“owner”，故答案为owner。

【7】句：他把我的简单食物免费换成了五星级大餐。

for free表示“免费”，根据“He changed my simple food to a five-star meal ___7___free”可知他把我的简单食物免费换成了五星级大餐，可推测出此处是缺介词“for”，故答案为for。

【8】句意：这是餐厅里最贵的一顿饭。

one of +最高级+名词复数表示“……之一”，根据“one of ___8___ (expensive) meals”可知缺形容词最高级，结合所给单词，可推测出此处是“the most expensive”，故答案为the most expensive。

【9】句意：有些人走在你前面，谈论他们如何比你更聪明、更睿智、更优秀。

根据“smarter, wiser and better”可知是比较级，可推测出此处是“than”，故答案为than。

【10】句意：你努力工作，想知道为什么要花这么长时间才能得到他们所得到的回报。

根据“why it’s taking so long ____10____(be) rewarded”可知缺动词不定式表目的状语，结合所给单词，可推测出此处是缺to be，故答案为to be。
