20、 on the phone)形成对比。3A.difficulty BideaCmistake Dinterest解析:选A。此处含有固定短语have no difficulty(in)doing sth.,指“做某事没有困难”,符合语境。而have no idea指“不知道”,have no mistake指“没有错误”,have no interest指“不感兴趣”,均不合语境。4A.Instead BThereforeCMeanwhile DHowever解析:选D。instead反而;therefore因此;meanwhile 同时;however然而。根据逻辑关系,前句说安迪与西班牙人
21、面对面交流时,他能听懂他们的话,而该句指明安迪在通过电话交流时就有点说不清,两句之间含有转折关系。5A.even BjustCstill Dseldom解析:选C。四个选项中,从语法结构上考虑都适合该句,但从上下文语境上分析,still(仍然)符合语意。6. Acalled BlikedCtrusted Dasked解析:选A。前文涉及安迪与西班牙人进行电话交流时,他的西班牙语不是很好,有点说不清,则可推断此处指安迪打电话给航空公司,故选called。7A.again BalsoConly Donce解析:选B。again再一次;only仅仅;once曾经,均不符合上下文语境。航空公司的工作人
22、员说安迪要乘坐的航班是在三天后的早晨9点,并告诉他要提前两小时到达机场,便于检查行李、找座位,also(也)符合句意和语境。8A.before BearlierClater Dafter解析:选B。句中two hours(两个小时)指一段时间,四个选项中,before,after一般不单独用于一段时间短语之后,副词earlier指“提前”,later指“以后”。根据生活常识,到达飞机场应在预订时间之前,否则会错过预订的航班。9A.moving BreturningCstaying Dleaving解析:选D。句中in three days(三天后)指将来的时间,该句用进行时态表示将来。前文提及
23、安迪在两班牙度假后准备乘飞机离开两班牙,因而move移动;return返回;stay待在,不符合上下文语境。10A.take BhaveClose Dfind解析:选C。take time指从容进行,花费时间;have time指有时间;lose time指浪费时间;find time指找到时间。该句指安迪充分利用这三天的时间又参观了西班牙的很多地方,说明他没有浪费时间。11A.wait for Bgo homeCstop at Dcome back解析:选D。安迪正在西班牙度假,准备三天后乘飞机离开西班牙,该句应含“安迪希望有钱时再一次来西班牙待上一年”之意,故come back符合句意和语
24、境。12A.shortly BquicklyCbadly Dearly解析:选B。从.the final day arrived.能推理出,安迪感觉时间过得太快(quickly),其他选项在词义上不符合句意和语境。13A.speak BgoCrush Ddelay解析:选C。安迪在飞机起飞前提前两小时到达了机场。从中可推断安迪不愿意太匆忙,故选C项。14A.buy BpresentCorder Dprovide解析:选B。从上文语境可知,安迪早已买好了返程的机票,故排除A、C两项,而D项provide指“提供”,不符合安迪(乘客)的身份,故选B项, present“出示”与show意义相同。1
25、5A.astonishment BpatienceCrespect Ddelight解析:选A。四个选项都是名词,astonishment惊讶;patience耐心;respect尊敬;delight高兴。根据语境,航空公司的工作人员看了安迪的机票后,告诉安迪他的航班是在上午9点,而当时已是晚上8点了,那么工作人员当时理应是“惊讶”的表情。16A.maybe BsoChere Dnow解析:选D。航空公司的工作人员说的应是当时已是晚上8点了,安迪延误了他的航班,故选D项。17A.insisted BapologizedCreplied Ddemanded解析:选A。insist坚持说;apol
26、ogize道歉;reply回答;demand要求。从安迪所说的But I confirmed my flight可知,安迪三天前打电话给航空公司的目的是确认他的航班离境时间就是在今天,而现在航空公司的工作人员说安迪延误了他的航班,安迪不相信,所以他“坚持说”这句话,其他选项不符合语境。18A.experience BexpressionClook Dface解析:选C。experience经历,经验;expression表情,脸色;look神色,神态,外表;face脸,面孔,面容,表情。该句中shock“震惊”,表明安迪听完航空公司工作人员的话后的脸色和神态,故选C项。19A.pleasure
27、 BcomfortCsadness Dhopelessness解析:选A。pleasure高兴;comfort安慰;sadness悲伤;hopelessness毫无希望。从上下文语境可推断,安迪听完航空公司工作人员的话,先是感到震惊,而后转为高兴,因为他很喜欢继续待在西班牙。20A.plan BflightCjourney Dholiday解析:选D。根据上下文语境,安迪到西班牙是度假,延误了航班,他的神色由震惊转为高兴,因为他还可以在西班牙继续度假,其他选项的词义不符合语境。.语法填空Snake dishes have become popular in recent years.Snake
