【语篇解读】本文为一篇夹叙夹议的文章，描述了作者第一次到美国旅行时因为语言障碍而遭遇的一次可笑的经历。
1.D
从短文首句“...I made my first visit to the United States.”可知，“我”到国外去，因此选abroad。
2.C
上学的时候学过法语。at school表示“上学”。
3.B
因为上学时学过法语，又加上“我”经常到法国去，因此“我”已习惯了与人们说外语了。在此，选项A有一定的干扰性，全文叙述的是过去的事情，因此应该用过去时态。C项的意思是“过去常常”，to后面应跟动词原形。
4.A
因为“我”懂法语，所以“我”能够与那些不懂英语的人讲话。
5.B
have a nice easy holiday有一个愉快、轻松的假期。
6.C
由前文可知，“我”是说英语的，因此说“我”想不会有任何语言问题。
7.D
how引导感叹句。how修饰形容词wrong，表示程度。
8.C
因为这时“我”在机场，所以“我”想找一个公用电话。
9.B
从下文“I
14
want to give my friend a ring...”得此答案。give sb.a ring“给某人一个电话”，但老人却理解为“给某人一个戒指”。
10.B
他问“我”他是否能帮助“我”。if引导宾语从句，意思是“是否”。
11.C
从后文可知老人以为“我”要结婚，因此他说“很好”，以表示祝贺。
12.D
从下文的“Who is talking about marriage？”可以得出答案。get married“结婚”。
13.D
由短文首句“When I was 16 years old...”可知，老人觉得“我”的年龄还不适合结婚，因此他说：“但是，你不是还小吗？”
14.B
在此just相当于only“只是，仅仅”。
15.A
很明显，“我”想让他告诉“我”电话亭的位置。
16.A
do/does/did用在肯定句中起强调作用，由时态知选did。
17.B
联系上下文，Danny在这里说她也遇到过一些麻烦。由many可知不选A、D两项，再由语境排除C项。
18.C
上文出现的情况是语言使用习惯的问题，因此Danny说美国人在使用单词的意思上与英国人不同。
19.D
由下文“Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”可以看出，Danny对“我”说，“我”不久就会习惯这一切的。
20.D
大多数时候，美国人和英国人能彼此理解。
