解析:
本文主要讲述 Andy 在西班牙旅游度假时准备乘飞机返回时的一段小经历。
1. B。对比四个选项，只有B 最合适。improve one’s Spanish 意为“提高西班牙语水平”，注意不能选 learn，因为可说 learn Spanish，但不能说 learn one’s Spanish。因为表示“语言”的名词前是不使用物主代词的，除非这个语言名词表示的是“某人运用某种语言的水平或能力”。
2. C。此处指 Andy 与西班牙人面对面(in person)交流时，他能听懂他们的话。因为Andy 来西班牙的目的是为了提高西班牙水平，说明的西班牙语水平不是很好，面对面交流之所以没有什么困难，是因为面对面交流可以借助手势语(这是常识问题)。
3. A。have no difficulty (in) doing something 指“做某事没有困难”。
4. D。文章前句说 Andy 与西班牙人面对面交流时，他能听懂他们的话，而后面说Andy在通过电话交流时就有点困难。说明两句间含转折关系，故用however。
5. C。比较四个选项的意思，只有 still(还)较合语境。
6. A。Andy要与航空公司联系，根据常识，只有call最合适。另外，前文讲到他在打电话时仍有语言困难，这也是在为下文作铺垫。
7. B。航空公司的工作人员说安迪要乘坐的航班是在三天后的早晨9点，同时还告诉他要提前两小时到达机场，便于检查行李、找坐位等，显然前后两句之间用副词also(还)衔接最恰当。
8. B。根据常识，无论乘飞机还是坐火车，人们都应“提前”到机场或车站，所以此处填 earlier最合适。另外，下文的第12空至第13空之间也有暗示(…to arrive two hour before take-off)。
9. D。句中的in three days意为“三天后”，结合上文航空公司工作人员说的Andy搭乘的航班是在三天后，可知此处应填 leave，即Andy 三天后离开。注：此处用的是进行时表示将来意义。
10. C。比较：take time＝从容进行，花费时间；have time＝有时间；lose time＝浪费时间；find time＝找时间。根据下句讲到的“安迪充分利用这三天时间又参观了西班牙的很多地方”，说明他没有浪费时间。
11. D。上文说“三天后就要乘飞机离开西班牙”，而此句又说“…希望能在西班牙呆一年”，比较四个选项，只有come back符合句意，即“希望以后能再来西班牙呆上一年”。
12. B。根据下文的...the final day arrived可知 Andy 觉得时间过得太快(quickly)。
13. C。根据上文的 Andy left early for the airport…(安迪早早就动身去机场…)，可知安迪不想太匆忙(rush)。
14. B。根据上文语境可知，安迪早已买好了返程的机票，故排除buy(买)和 order(预订)。比较provide(提供)和present(出示)，显然present更佳。
15. A。航空公司的工作人员看了安迪的机票后，发现Andy的航班是在早晨9点，而当时已是晚上8点了——此时的工作人员显然应是“惊讶”。
16. D。根据语境显然可知。
17. A。因 Andy 说的话即不是在道歉也不是在要求，故可排除 apologized 和demanded；另外，由于航空公司的工作人员没有“问”，所以他也不必 answered。比较之下，只有 insisted较合适(因为他的 确打电话到航空公司确认过)。
18. C。比较：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。比较之下，look 最佳，因为严格说来，脸上的“震惊”(shock)应属“神态”或“神色”，而不属“表情”。
19. A。比较：pleasure=高兴，comfort=安慰，sadness=悲伤，hopelessness=毫无希望。此处的语境是：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，因为他很喜欢继续呆在西班牙。
20. D。比较四个选项，同时结合文章第1段的内容，可知选项D最佳。

Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and 36 me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware 37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds 38 us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our 39 .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,” 40 the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very 41 sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.
We walked across the old wood floor. Andy asked us what he could help us with. I told him we were 42 a spring(弹簧). He very patiently replied, “l have lots of springs. You’re going to need to be more specific.”
“Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door.”
“That’s it. A screen door spring, right down there. ” We 43 where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. And knew his store, and his products. That was why I came here instead of Meijer. The service couldn’t be beaten. The price; Yes. But service and 44 ;No.
I picked up one and followed him to the 45 .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do 46 dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I 47 it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_ 48 delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of 49 .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s 50 business.
