30、子。1B根据上文可知，作者和妻子约定一起吃饭，所以他们是达成一致意见，7点在饭店见面。agree to do“一致同意做”。2A根据下文的I had a good excuse，可知，作者感到有点宽慰的是，他有个很好的借口，故选A。3D根据上文可知，作者有个好借口，因为一个商业会议超时了，而作者没有浪费时间，故选D。4C根据上文We had 1 to meet at the restaurant at seven oclock可知。5A作者能分辨出他的妻子生气了。could合语境。6D根据下文，作者告诉妻子关于这个商业会议的事情，以为迟到是不可避免的。故选D。7A根据下文内容，作者的解释让事情
31、更糟，所以和前面句子是转折关系。8C根据上文，可知作者的迟到让妻子很生气，而且他的解释让事情更糟，这也使作者快要发疯了。因为用了as well，所以不是作者的妻子，而是需要代词指代作者本人。9D根据句意：几个星期后，我将这件事描述给朋友Ken Hardy，故选D。10Bmake a mistake固定搭配“犯错误”。11Abe stuck in固定搭配“卡住，陷入”。12D根据第二段可知，作者认为自己不是故意这么做的，所以用intend和mean意思相近。13B根据上句：那并不是重点，你们的谈话中重要的是你的迟到是怎么影响Eleanor的，所以选B。14A他指出作者的重点是意图，而Eleano
32、r的重点是结果，这两种话是表示转折关系，所以选A。15C根据上文可知作者和妻子两个人理解的重点不一样，所以两个人都感觉被误解而疯狂，所以选C。16D句意：多思考Ken的话，我逐渐意识到这种分歧的根源，所以选D。17B真正重要的是行动的结果。matter意为“要紧，有关系”。18A根据上文可知行动的结果更重要，所以作者应该开始对话，表达自己的行为对妻子有怎样的影响，选A。19D根据上文可知作者本应该表达自己的行为对妻子有怎样的影响。所以应该省去解释自己迟到的意图以后再说，或者永远不要说。20C根据上文提到了misunderstood，可以知道作者通过和妻子的交谈真的理解了她对于我迟到的结果的体验，故选C。
