【回答】

. 1. 解析：选B。从第一句“I arrived in the United States...”可知，飞机降落在肯尼迪机场。从下文“From the airport my friend and I __3__ a taxi to my hotel”同样也可以得知，飞机是降落而不是起飞。

2. 解析：选A。本句前后为转折关系，阅读时要把握but一词。句意为：天气非常冷，天下着雪，然而我太兴奋了，一点儿也不在乎。...为固定搭配。

3. 解析：选D。考查短语搭配。take a taxi乘出租车。

4. 解析：选A。in astonishment在此作状语，修饰stared。

5. 解析：选B。 因为此时“我”盯着看的是摩天大楼，这些都是人工建筑， 因此“我”欣赏它们的人工美。

6. 解析：选C。从空后“because he __7__ go back to work”可知，我朋友因为要去上班，他离开“我”了。

7. 解析：选B。上班是迫不得已的事，故用had to。

8. 解析：选D。 离开之前他答应“我”第二天他会回来。B项有较大干扰*， 受汉语习惯的影响，我们很容易地想到“他说第二天来。”然而没有say to do这一形式。A项也有一定干扰*。agree to do表示在别人提出后同意做某事，通过上下文可知“我”并没有要求他第二天来。

9. 解析：选A。 按照逻辑，“我”做下面这些事情是在朋友走后。shortly和soon都是副词，因此C、D两项不合题意。

10. 解析：选A。 a word 是一种强调的说法， 相当于any word，因此此空是否定形式。didn't仅表示过去的一种情况，而couldn't则表示过去不能够这么做。

11. 解析：选C。 因为“我”不会说英语，因此“我”不能告诉服务员“我”想要的东西。

12. 解析：选B。由文意可知，“我”开始做些手势。

13. 解析：选D。分析句子结构，及句意可知，前后为转折关系。

14. 解析：选A。由语境及句意可知，“我”点了邻桌人吃的同样的东西。order sth.意为“点……”。

15. 解析：选C。“坐在桌旁”用at the table。

16. 解析：选B。句意为：饭后，我沿大街一直走到Time Square。D项有较大干扰*， 在此作者用until强调所走过的距离，而用before则强调先后的动作，因此选项D不合题意。

17. 解析：选A 。crowds of people意为“许许多多的人”。在此B选项有较大干扰*。 groups of people意为“一队一队的人”。看电影的人不可能都是结队而来，因此选项B不合题意。

18. 解析：选A。 walk around意为“四处走走”符合语境。

19. 解析：选C。句意为：因为夜里不断地听到火*和*车的汽笛声，我无法入睡。keep doing不断(反复)地做某事。start doing sth. 开始做某事，强调动作的开始，根据上下文，不合题意。

20. 解析：选B。此空所需要的是lie (躺，卧)的过去式，因此用lay。
