A
To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th birthday. I ’d booked the table for eight o’ clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a problem.The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends－a salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order some desserts（餐后甜点）. The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制). It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We’ll go to your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.可知，服务生说，不幸的是，太晚了。 我们没时间点甜点。他说他很抱歉，但是我们的桌子在九点半被另一个团体预定了，我们不得不离开。所以Martin和他的朋友们没有吃甜点是因为有人预定了他们的桌子。故选A。

推理判断题。根据第三段We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制)。It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We’ll go to your restaurant again.可知，我们付了帐，很不高兴地离开了。它毁了我的生日。我们到的时候没有人告诉我们有时间限制。这是非常不令人满意的，我怀疑我们会再去你的餐厅。由此判断出，Martin Cary在信中表达不满意。故选D。

细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We’ll go to your restaurant again.可知，这是非常不令人满意的，我怀疑我们会再去你的餐厅。所以他们不会再去那家餐馆了。故选C。
