解析：

(1)	为了见到长时间不曾会晤的朋友Joe，Anna特早赶到见面地点。这里表示逻辑上的转折关系，用but。
(2)	这是一个强调句型。“好像”是通过她早一个小时这种方式，“希望”飞机能够早一点到达。
(3)	beforehand和sooner相互照应，表达Anna内心的“希望”。
(4)	下边三个文句都闪现在Anna头脑中的“想法”。
(5)	他(Joe)会不会注意到我穿的“新”女衫裤套装？
(6)	这么长时间他还能够“辨认”出我吗？
(7)	毕竟自从“上一次”见面以来，已经几乎正好一年啦。to the day意为“恰好；一天也不差”。
(8)	下文“inspected her face”暗示Anna从口袋里掏出“镜子”，这也是女孩的习惯行为。
(9)	下文but一词暗示这里表示否定关系，只有never符合题意。
(10)	Joe把这种行为称之为“画蛇添足”。call接复合宾语结构，“gilding the lily(画蛇添足)”作宾语补足语。
(11)	有趣的是Anna把给Joe留下深刻印象看的很重要。attach importance to“把……看的很重要”，其中to为介词。make an impression on sb．是固定搭配，意为“给某人留下印象”。
(12)	本句意为朋友之间彼此并不以“貌”取人。
(13)	go off这里作“情况发生；进行”讲。她希望一切进展顺利。come across意为“邂逅相遇”；turn up意为“开大；露面”。
(14)	catch a glimpse of意为“瞥见”，是固定搭配。
(15)	a break in the clouds意为“云层缝隙”。
(16)	the guest lecturer说明他们是在“邀请”Joe作报告。
(17)	组委会主席像往常一样“提出”到机场接他。
(18)	这里逻辑上表示转折关系，标点符号则暗示instead不妥。
(19)	partly(部分地)与下文的mainly是平行结构，意义相对应。
(20)	take……off表示“请假”。
