【回答】
. 1. 解析：選B。從第一句“I arrived in the United States...”可知，飛機降落在肯尼迪機場。從下文“From the airport my friend and I __3__ a taxi to my hotel”同樣也可以得知，飛機是降落而不是起飛。
2. 解析：選A。本句前後為轉折關係，閲讀時要把握but一詞。句意為：天氣非常冷，天下着雪，然而我太興奮了，一點兒也不在乎。...為固定搭配。
3. 解析：選D。考查短語搭配。take a taxi乘出租車。
4. 解析：選A。in astonishment在此作狀語，修飾stared。
5. 解析：選B。 因為此時“我”盯着看的是摩天大樓，這些都是人工建築， 因此“我”欣賞它們的人工美。
6. 解析：選C。從空後“because he __7__ go back to work”可知，我朋友因為要去上班，他離開“我”了。
7. 解析：選B。上班是迫不得已的事，故用had to。
8. 解析：選D。 離開之前他答應“我”第二天他會回來。B項有較大幹擾*， 受漢語習慣的影響，我們很容易地想到“他説第二天來。”然而沒有say to do這一形式。A項也有一定干擾*。agree to do表示在別人提出後同意做某事，通過上下文可知“我”並沒有要求他第二天來。
9. 解析：選A。 按照邏輯，“我”做下面這些事情是在朋友走後。shortly和soon都是副詞，因此C、D兩項不合題意。
10. 解析：選A。 a word 是一種強調的説法， 相當於any word，因此此空是否定形式。didn't僅表示過去的一種情況，而couldn't則表示過去不能夠這麼做。
11. 解析：選C。 因為“我”不會説英語，因此“我”不能告訴服務員“我”想要的東西。
12. 解析：選B。由文意可知，“我”開始做些手勢。
13. 解析：選D。分析句子結構，及句意可知，前後為轉折關係。
14. 解析：選A。由語境及句意可知，“我”點了鄰桌人吃的同樣的東西。order sth.意為“點……”。
15. 解析：選C。“坐在桌旁”用at the table。
16. 解析：選B。句意為：飯後，我沿大街一直走到Time Square。D項有較大幹擾*， 在此作者用until強調所走過的距離，而用before則強調先後的動作，因此選項D不合題意。
17. 解析：選A 。crowds of people意為“許許多多的人”。在此B選項有較大幹擾*。 groups of people意為“一隊一隊的人”。看電影的人不可能都是結隊而來，因此選項B不合題意。
18. 解析：選A。 walk around意為“四處走走”符合語境。
19. 解析：選C。句意為：因為夜裏不斷地聽到火*和*車的汽笛聲，我無法入睡。keep doing不斷(反覆)地做某事。start doing sth. 開始做某事，強調動作的開始，根據上下文，不合題意。
20. 解析：選B。此空所需要的是lie (躺，卧)的過去式，因此用lay。
