1.1.
A fight
B lean
C crash
D press
解析：选C。C 考查动词辨析。根据第一段“when the sea is high, waves ... against its big windows”可知，涨潮时海浪会“撞击”窗户，crash意为“猛撞，撞击”。A fight against表示“和……抗争”，主语多为人；lean against意为“倚靠”；press against表示“挤压紧贴”，三者都不能描述海浪猛烈拍打玻璃窗的场景。故选C。
2.2.
A above
B under
C behind
D through
解析：选B。B 考查介词辨析。根据“Diners sometimes feel as if they are eating...the sea.”可知，餐厅就建在海边，浪打在窗上时人仿佛“在海下”用餐，under the sea正合此意。above（在……上方）、behind（在……后面）、through（穿过）都与“仿佛在水下”不符。故选B。
3.3.
A face
B fill
C turn
D clean
解析：选A。A 考查动词辨析。根据“Its large windows....the Pacific Ocean”，可知大窗户“面向”太平洋，face意为“面向，朝向”，符合语境。fill（装满）、turn（转动）、clean（清洁）都不能与“窗户＋太平洋”构成通顺表达。故选A。
4.4.
A ideas
B mistakes
C wishes
D problems
解析：选D。D 考查名词辨析。根据后文“the windows were not strong enough...storms still flooded the building...water caused great damage”可知，离海太近会带来“麻烦”，problems意为“问题，麻烦”。ideas（想法）、mistakes（错误）、wishes（愿望）都与后文的风暴破坏无关。故选D。
5.5.
A strong
B heavy
C long
D fast
解析：选A。A 考查形容词辨析。根据后文“stronger glass was put in”（换上了更坚固的玻璃）可知，原来的窗户不够“坚固”，strong正合此意。heavy（重的）、long（长的）、fast（快的）都不能说明“挡不住暴风雨”的原因。故选A。
6.6.
A So
B But
C Or
D And
解析：选B。B 考查连词辨析。根据上下文——换了更坚固的玻璃后本应能挡住风暴，但1982年猛烈的风暴仍然淹了整栋楼——前后是转折关系，故用But（但是）。So 表示因果，但此处前后是转折关系，故不选；Or（或者）语意不通；And（而且）不能表达“换了玻璃却仍被淹”的转折。故选B。
7.7.
A reduced
B refused
C removed
D repaired
解析：选D。D 考查动词辨析。根据上文“The water caused great damage”和下文“The repair work lasted about nine months”（修理工作持续了约九个月）可知，餐厅不得不被“修理”，repaired正合此意。reduced（减少）、refused（拒绝）、removed（移走）都与“洪水后修复”不符。故选D。
8.8.
A kept
B raised
C seen
D hidden
解析：选C。C 考查动词辨析。根据“Over the years, diners have...dolphins and whales near the windows.”（多年来，食客们在窗外看到过海豚和鲸鱼），这里用see的过去分词seen，构成have done。kept（养，保留）、raised（饲养）、hidden（藏）都与“看到海洋生物”不符。故选C。
9.9.
A large
B popular
C young
D cheap
解析：选B。B 考查形容词辨析。根据全文——这家餐厅1941年开业、如今80多年仍在营业、人们专程来用餐——可知它一直很“受欢迎”，popular正合此意，句中的still（仍然）也呼应这一点。故选B。
10.10.
A sand
B food
C sky
D power
解析：选D。D 考查名词辨析。根据前文海浪拍窗、暴风雨力量等描写可知，窗外能听到的是海洋的“声音与力量”，power意为“力量”。sand（沙子）、food（食物）、sky（天空）都不能与sound（声音）并列构成“海洋的声音与力量”。故选D。
