20．Soup on my nose，a nearly spilled glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse，as blind dates suggest，this was a really messy one．I have never made so much noise with plates and glasses，nor had I dined with a never-before-met companion．This blind date was quite different：we could see nothing．"Put your left hand on my shoulder，and then we'll take small steps forward，"said Michael，the visually impaired（视力障碍的） server，in an East London accent．We three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table，where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses．
Welcome to Alchemy in the Dark，Hong Kong's first full-time restaurant in total darkness．Upon arrival，diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies（过敏性反应），lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant，which can seat 25．When the meal is over，the contents of the delicious menu are shown---often to the diners'surprise．"This is definitely duck，"my friend said，while eating chicken．"This soup，"I declared，"is carrot and coriander．"Even the too-close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors．Dining in the dark changes everything：the sense of smell is heightened，manners go out of the window---using your hands to feel around the plate becomes normal---and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions．Best of all？You don't have to spend hours beforehand（事先） wondering what to wear．

分析 本文介绍了一家就餐者像盲人一样在黑暗中进餐的餐馆Alchemy in the Dark，通过作者的亲身体验，说明这样进餐的好处．还介绍了这家餐馆的位置，电话，收费等等相关信息．
解答 29．B 细节理解题．根据第一段第四句Put your left hand on my shoulder，and then we'll take small steps forward，"said Michael，the visually impaired（视力障碍的） server，in an East London accent．可知，视力障碍的服务员要求作者把左手放在他肩上，小步前行．由此可知，作者他们是被服务员带引着到餐桌的．故选B．
30．C 细节理解题．根据最后一段最后一句Five per cent of all profits go to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind．"所有利润的百分之五通过香港社会组织机构捐给盲人．"可知，这家餐厅向盲人捐赠钱财．故选C．根据第二段第二句Upon arrival，diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies（过敏性反应）…可知，就餐者一到餐厅就简要告知主厨自己的过敏原，以防过敏．所以A选项错误．根最后一段第一句中…from 7pm to 11pm…可知，餐馆的营业时间是晚上7点到11点．所以B选项错误．根据第二段第二句中…lock away their mobile phones…可知，就餐者需关闭手机．所以D选项错误．
31．A 推理判断题．根据最后一段第二句Reservations are required．"需提前预定"可知，作者之前是有预定的．故选A．
32．D 细节理解题．根据最后一段的内容可知，介绍了Alchemy in the Dark 这家餐馆的地址，电话，营业时间，收费以及其他信息．故选D．
点评 做细节理解题时要掌握关键信息定位，精准快速的定位加上正确的理解力才能保证做题的量与质．
