题号 答案 考查内容解题依据 解题分析
1 B 词义比较前后照应词汇用法 Andy 到西班牙旅游是为了改进他的西班牙语。从后文得知他学(learn)过西班牙语，但不怎么好，没法尽情地享受(enjoy)，而需要提高，加强(improve)。learn可直接与Spanish相连，不能加his。prepare 准备, 预备，如果其后有介词for，prepare for为……做好准备，倒是可以考虑。
2 C 前后照应词义比较 与后文中的speaking on the phone对照的。in person亲自, 外貌上；slowly慢慢地，迟缓地；in public当众, 公开地, 公然地； carefully小心地，谨慎地。
3 A 固定搭配 当他直接与人说话时，理解人家的话他没有什么困难。Have (some／no) difficulty(in)doing sth做某事有/没有困难。have no idea(of)how to do sth.不知道；无能为力；have no interest in sth.对……没有兴趣。
4 D 前后照应语句连贯 根据上下文，可知此处应为转折(however)关系。instead代替，更换，表示对立相反关系；therefore 因此, 所以，表示因果关系；meanwhile与此同时。
5 C 词义比较前后照应 可通电话时，还是(still)有些问题的。 句子主、谓、宾俱全，欠缺修饰词，seldom很少，不常；just仅仅、只是；even甚至，表示过分情况；still仍然，还，表示原有状态的持续。
6 A 前后照应逻辑推理 从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了，说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话，从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话(call)，而与喜欢(like)，信任(trust)，询问(ask)无关。
7 B 词义比较逻辑推理 办事员除了告诉Andy他问的问题外，还(also)告诉他一些另外的信息。also而且，还，也，表示并存关系；again又, 再次；only仅仅, 只不过；once一次, 从前, 曾经。
8 B 常识运用词义比较前后照应 乘飞机应该提前去机场，以便办理行李手续，找座位等。后文two hours before take-off 有所暗示。时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间，before是在某个点时间之前，later，after不符合题意。
9 D 逻辑推理词义比较 他要三天后才离开(leave)。move移动, 迁移，搬家；return回来, 返回；stay逗留，暂住。
10 C 逻辑推理词义比较 因为Andy三天后就要离开，他不是没有(have)，不花(take)，没找到(find)时间，而是不浪费(lose)一点时间。
11 D 逻辑推理词义比较 Andy这样想时他还在西班牙，指的是从他的国家再次来(come back)到西班牙，而不是等候(wait)，逗留(stop)和回家(go home)。
12 B 逻辑推理 时间过得真快(quickly)，最后一天到了。
13 C 逻辑推理词义比较 上句提到他提前到达，表明他不太喜欢匆匆忙忙(rush)。其它三项与句意不符。
14 B 词义比较逻辑推理 他让办事员看他的票。他已有票，故买 (buy)或定购 (order)不合题意。provide提供，他并不是把票让给办事员。present向……显示/呈现……。
15 A 前后照应逻辑推理 办事员看了他的票后，不是表现出高兴(delight)，耐心(patience)和尊敬(respect)，而是惊讶(astonishment)因为后文提到他的票已过期了，他却要找那架已飞走的飞机。
16 D 常识运用逻辑推理 你的班机早晨九点就离开了，现在(now)已是晚上八点了。句中谈论的是时间，与地点(here)无关。
17 A 逻辑推理词义比较 Andy 用不着道歉(apologize)，回答(reply)，也提不出要求(demand)，他只是坚持(insist)说他曾经证实过他的班机。
18 C 词义辨析 Andy脸露震惊之色。exper
