解析：

(1)	在一个地方待长了就需要上厕所，所以“我”要找一个厕所。
(2)	一般来说在厕所前面都会有表示性别的头像，这是一种标记。
(3)	作者把自己能够想到的有关厕所名称方面的知识都想到了。
(4)	从常识中可以知道，一所大学的图书馆大楼里不可能没有厕所。
(5)	keep doing意思是“继续做某事”，这和文中要表达的意思一致。作者没有找到厕所，但她坚信有，所以她就继续找下去。
(6)	作者在门上看到的只有women这一个词，single的意思就是一个。
(7)	该空考查的是搭配look like，而且与上下文要求的意思也一致。
(8)	作者内急了，实在等不了，只好进去看看了。
(9)	但当作者走进去一看，里面的陈设并不像一个厕所，所以马上就退出来了。
(10)	a standing lamp(落地灯)只能是在table的边上。
(11)	洗手间里常有一面镜子。
(12)	一个房间里有四个拐角，除去一个，从剩下的三个中选一个要用another。
(13)	尽管门上没有WC的标记，但找遍大楼，只有这个地方有可能是。
(14)	here, there放在句首，用来引起注意，此处表示作者惊喜的心情。
(15)	两个房间大小的比较。
(16)	一个如此大的图书馆里不可能只有一个toilet。
(17)	作者自然要找人问问此事。ask sb．about sth．询问某事。
(18)	从询问中作者得知Rest Room也是toilet，只是rest room是男性、女性都可以使用的。
(19)	which引导的句子是对unisex的解释，mean表示的正是“意思是”。
(20)	这种只供一个人使用的rest room，在使用的时候要从里面把门锁起来，防止另外的人再进来。
