25.D推理判断题.根据第一段he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose(求婚) to her,.而后句说she did the same in the opposite direction.可知他从澳大利亚返回英国向她求婚,而她从英国又飞往澳大利亚去找他.故选D.
26.C词义猜测题.根据故事的内容可知他们两个分别从各自的所在地出发去探望对方,想给彼此一个惊喜,但是他们在同一个机场的同一个候机大厅里时都没有看到对方,由此推断miss意思是"错过",故选C.
27.D细节理解题.根据第六段he got a job on a Sydney building site(工地) and started saving for a surprise.可知他去工地打工为的是攒钱去探望女友,故选D.
