解析:

內(nèi)容概要：本文講述了Tom第一次到英格蘭，不聽朋友的建議，獨自外出，結(jié)果把火車的方向弄反了，以致到錯了地方。

答案簡析：

【小題1】against one’s advice意為“違背別人的建議”。

【小題2】通過下文得知他是一人出來，故用alone。

【小題3】下面街道人多為患，所以用“bad”。

【小題4】for表原因，用以解釋 bad time。

【小題5】要排長隊購票是不以他的意志為轉(zhuǎn)移的，他是“不得不”排隊。

【小題6】turn表示“輪次”。

【小題7】售票員聽不懂他的話，他卻把票買成了，前后句顯然有“轉(zhuǎn)折”關(guān)系。

【小題8】問路一般用ask the “way”。

【小題9】be packed with be crowded with。正因為人擁擠，才沒上得了第一趟火車。

【小題10】manage to do表示“設(shè)法得以做成某事”，沒做成當(dāng)然用not manage了。

【小題11】因為是在擁擠的站臺上，顯然獲得的是一個稍好些的站的“位置”。

【小題12】從from behind 來看，他是被人推向前的。sweep在此意思是“猛推”。

【小題13】push與sweep同義。

【小題14】看不清的應(yīng)是“站名”。signs應(yīng)注意排除，畢竟他首次到英國，即使各個站有其獨特的符號、標(biāo)記，他也不可能知道。

【小題15】站就是火車“停”靠的地方。

【小題16】這里的stop與station同義。

【小題17】覺得旅行如此輕松，心情當(dāng)然是“高興的”。

【小題18】選項D應(yīng)注意排除，因為他不是英國人，所以沒到過這個車站是明擺著的，故這一答案是正確，但與hear of 相比，不能算是最佳答案。

【小題19】這里的difficulty指他當(dāng)時的一種迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事，他還未知道，所以談不上什么錯誤，故選項B，不能確定為答案。

【小題20】聽說Tom乘車的方向完全反了，那人的第一反應(yīng)應(yīng)當(dāng)是覺得好笑，即答案應(yīng)在A、B之間。joke不可能出現(xiàn)在臉上，故答案只能為B。
