解析：

(1)	从全文的角度看，这次旅行既没有什么吸引力，也不会令孩子高兴或得到安慰，只能达到教育的目的，结合文章最后一段的“This trip achieved all I’d expected”得由D项正确。
(2)	C项与tiring意思重复；D项violent(暴力的)意义不适合；综合上下文B项也不合适，只有A项rough：difficult and unpleasant适合。
(3)	be too much for为短语“非……能力所及；非……能忍受”。
(4)	我们正在爬山时，……
(5)	too用于形容词和副词前，表示“太，过于，过度”，一般用来表示事物/人不太好的一面，而very表示好的事物/人，“非常，很”。C、D两项意思不合适。
(6)	综合上下文Barrett在言语无法交流的情况下，面对被自己迷住的小女孩只得不停地“smiling”。
(7)	有了上句的经历，所以此刻的感受是对不能说英语表示“regretfully”。
(8)	而我只知道儿子在校时对法语的态度，因而对儿子的话感到“惊奇”。
(9)	由hate一词得知不可能是A、B两项，而call off(取消)不合句意，fight against(与……斗争)符合句意。
(10)	befriended：待人如友，及时帮助；disregarded：不理会，漠视；avoided：避免；recognized：认出某人。综合上下文只有A项合适。
(11)	此处需一个承接上下文的过渡词，意思为转折，故选“however”。thus：所以，总结性词语；meanwhile：与此同时，表对比。
(12)	此处说的是父亲“I”的感受，故选my。
(13)	interview sb．for an article“为写一篇文章而采访某人”A、C、D项意思不合适。
(14)	由下句“Through determination, she had learned to…”得知此处要表达她的“意志坚定”，故选C。
(15)	此处用了一个非常生动而形象的词来表现出作为一个客观条件不太好的她是如何通过个人的努力拼搏而成功的。struggle：to try very hard to do sth．when it is difficult。
(16)	因为是一个village里的一个人物，只能是村里的领导。
(17)	touch此处的意思是“打动，使受感动”。听到这个感人的故事，父亲和儿子自然是被感动，而不是高兴、厌烦或吃惊。
(18)	a combination of love and respect意为“爱和尊敬的组合”，也就是爱与尊敬相溶交织在一起。而composition：构成、组构、写作；connection：连接；satisfaction：满意；均不合适。
(19)	短语搭配。stay behind：留下。本句意思为：当回家的时候，Barrett甚至主动要留下来当志愿者。
(20)	本句是对今天的“trip”的总结，综合全文D最佳。
