Question

Andy was still traveling in Spain when he realized he had to confirm(确认) his   ① home with the airline company. He was visiting Spain in order to improve his Spanish. When he was speaking to people face to face, he had no difficulty understanding what they said. However, when he was speaking on the phone, he still had a problem. Andy called the airline. And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o’clock three days from that day. She also told Andy to be at the airport a little earlier in order to check in his luggage and get a seat.
Since he was leaving in three days, Andy didn’t lose any time. He visited as many places as he could. He thought that it would probably be a while before he had enough money again. He wished he could come back and spend a year in Spain.
Too quickly, the final day arrived. Andy left early for the airport before take-off. He hated to rush. When he went to the clerk to show his ticket, the clerk looked at the ticket in surprise , “Why, sir, but your flight was at nine o’clock in the morning, and now it is eight in the evening.”“But I confirmed my flight,”insisted Andy.“Will I have to pay for another ticket?”
“No, Sir. However, the next flight out will be three days from now.”
Andy’s   ②  of shock turned to smile as he realized that now he could go on with his vacation.

试题分析：这篇短文主要描述了安迪为了提高自己的西班牙语水平去西班牙旅行。返航时错过航班，又得以继续玩三天的故事。
小题1:①联系下文，可知此处指的是确认回家的航班，故填flight航班，班机。②联系下文，可知此处指的是的她震惊的表情变得笑了起来。故填单数名词look / expression，表情。
小题2:①根据He visited as many places as he could. 可知他参观了尽可能多的地方。故填 possible可能的。②根据as he realized that now he could go on with his vacation.描述，可知此处指的是安迪能继续他的假期。前文已有助动词could，故填原形动词continue，继续。
小题3:注意短语face to face面对面地；have difficulty doing做某事有困难。
小题4:根据She also told Andy to be at the airport a little earlier in order to check in his luggage and get a seat. 描述，可知答：to check in his luggage and get a seat.
小题5:根据but your flight was at nine o’clock in the morning, and now it is eight in the evening. 描述，可知她大约迟了11个小时，故答：( about) 11 hours.
