(答案→)A
解析：【小题1】4 个选项均为频率副词,BCD 的意思太绝对化且通过下文的内容也不难判断出A 为最佳选项。
【小题2】通过后面句子的理解可知毕业后想去另外一所大学,所以推断出作者是在 Durham University 里学习,所以选D。
【小题3】.continue to do sth.意为继续做某事,含有将来时态的意味;plane to do sth.意为打算做某事, manage to do sth.意为设法努力做某事,remember to do sth.意为记得要做某事,根据上下文的意思可以判断出选B。
【小题4】由下文的letter可知,作者是把很多申请表寄给各个大学,所以选D。
【小题5】根据上下文的??思可知作者把很多申请表寄给各个大学,所以选B。
【小题6】 application 意为申请表/书,report 意为报告,reply 意为回信,chance 意为机会,根据上文意思作者每天都去传达室看看有没有自己的(回)信,故选C。
【小题7】由下文的I even didn’t 48 my breakfast 不难得出答案D。
【小题8】.根据文中的意思可以推断出当Huang 进来时他手里仍然拿着一把牙刷,且其他三个选项均不符合原文的意思。选A
【小题9】 Because of 后跟名词短语表原因,as if 意为好像,似乎,after 意为之后,while 意为在...时, 根据上下文可知选B。
【小题10】.pass sb. a message 意为告诉某人信息(向某人传递信息),故选A,其他三项均不符合原意。
【小题11】as soon as possible 为固定短语,意为尽快,故选B。
【小题12】由上文可知作者一直等回信,这次终于有人告诉他让他去取信,所以他高兴地跳了起来, 故选C,其他三项均不符合原意。
【小题13】作者此时很高兴,还还没吃完早餐就跑向Mr. G’s office,故选finish 表完成。选B
【小题14】此处为省略句,省略了office,完整的句子为but he wasn’t 49 the office,很容易得出选项为B项in。
【小题15】联系上下文可知作者向secretary 解释一切,故选explain,其余三项均不符合文意。选C。
【小题16】根据上文意思可知此空的意思为如果他让你来这取,那么他会把信放在明显的位置, 故选D。
【小题17】以后缀 -ed 结尾的形容词通常用于说明人,不用于说明事物,即使它们所修饰的名词是事物,那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人,以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词主要用于说明事物, 表示事物的性质或特征,若用它们说明人,则表示此人具有此性质或特征。此处意为自己感到很失望,所以选B。
【小题18】后面为lock 为动词原形,所以只能选let,构成短语let sb do sth.让某人做某事。选A。
【小题19】因为这是发生在愚人节,所以 secretary 在捉弄作者,suddenly 为突然,符合此时的情景。选D
【小题20】.由上空可知secretary 是眼睛一亮,告诉了作者今天是愚人节,故选C。
