How wrong I was!The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport.I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Tina a ring and tell her that I had arrived.A (54)B old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.

分析 当我16岁时,我第一次去美国旅行.这不是我第一次出国.和大多数英国孩子一样,在学校我学习了法语,并经常去法国,所以当人们不懂英语时,我很习惯和他们讲外语.但当我到了美国,我很期待可以有一个愉快的假期,没有语音障碍.我真是大错特错!在机场误会就开始了.我寻找公共电话,想给美国朋友艾米蒂娜打一个电话,告诉她我到了.一个友好的老年人看道我像迷路了,问我是否需要帮忙.我说道:"是的,我想给朋友打一个电话."他问道:"嗯,那很不错.你要结婚了吗?但是你是不是有点小呢?"我回答道:"谁在说要结婚?我只是想给我朋友打一个电话,告诉她我到了.你能告诉我哪里有一个电话亭吗?"他说道:"哦,电话在楼下."当我们终于在机场见面了,蒂娜向我解释了这个误会.她告诉我:"不要担心,起初我也有很多困难.有许多美国人使用的单词意思和英国的不同.你会很快适应他们所说的所有有趣的事情.但大多数情况下英国人和美国人还是可以互相理解对方的."
解答 51.D.根据句意"和大多数英国孩子一样…"应选择D,表示就像.
52.H.划线处缺一个名词,根据I learnt French at school and I had often been to France.可知作者在学校学习了法语,并经常去法国,所以当人们不懂英语时,他很习惯和他们讲外语,故选择H,表示语言.
53.E.划线处缺一个谓语,根据文中可知当作者到达美国,他很期望有一个愉快的假期,没有语言障碍,故选择E,表示期望、期待.
54.B.划线处缺少一个形容词,根据…saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.可知这个老年人很友好,他看到我像迷路了,问我是否需要帮忙,故选择B,表示友好的.
55.A.划线处缺一个动词作谓语,根据文中可知面对老年人的疑问,作者回答他的问题,故选择C,表示回复.
56.C.划线处缺一个动词作谓语,根据下文可蒂娜向我解释了这一场误会,故选择I,表示解释.
57.I.划线处缺一个副词修饰use,根据文中可知美国人使用的单词意思和英国的不同,故选择I,表示不同地.
58.G.划线处缺一个名词或代词作宾语,根据文中可知大多数情况下英国人和美国人还是可以互相理解对方的,故选择G,表示互相.
