【解析】

Tina大学毕业找到了一份工作，她第一天去公司上班，那天发生了一些很奇怪的事情。最后Tina才发现她走错了楼层。

1.词义猜测题。根据语境“As a green hand, she didn’t know what to do, so she tried to talk to the girls who sat near her in the office.” “作为……，她不知道做什么，所以她试图跟坐在她附近的女孩谈话”。再由第一段“Several days later, she got a new job.”可知，Tina大学毕业刚找到工作，所以她是一个新手，没有什么工作的经验。因此a green hand指的是“新手”。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第二段“Tina was surprised that the boss was not the old man who interviewed her several days ago.”可知，Tina很吃惊，公司的老板并不是几天前面试她的那个。故选B。

3.推理判断题。根据第二段“so she tried to talk to the girls who sat near her in the office. However, they were not friendly to her.”可知，B选项表述符合文意，故选B。根据第一段“She would work in the biggest company in her city.”可知A不对；根据第二段“On her first workday, Tina arrived at 8：45 a. m.”可知C不对；根据短文最后“All of a sudden, Tina realized she mistook the 11th floor for the 10th floor.”可知D不对。

4.推理判断题。根据文意可知，在下班的时候，Tina才意识到自己把11楼错当成了10楼，她在错误的公司里工作了一天，C选项“我整天都待在错误的办公室里”符合语境，故选C。
