I've never understood why they give popcorn! It tasted pretty good, (27) . After a while I heard (28) more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the sound of the popcorn crunching (咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought started to (29) . I remembered when I was in South Korea (韩国), I (30) to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, (31) I saw him again in New York speaking perfect English instead of perfect Korean.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】根据逻辑分析可知，夏天的一个晚上，电影院开着空调，而作者的公寓不会是温暖的，也不会是凉爽的，只会是很热的，所以作者决定去看电视。heated是“激烈的”意思，所以不选。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】opening表示“洞，缺口”；blank表示“空白处”crack表示“裂缝”；break表示“裂缝，裂口”。根据句意可知，应是两个人的头之间的空隙，opening是符合的。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】由于she leaned over to kiss him 和he leaned over to kiss her是并列成分，所以排除A和B。 or表选择，and表承接，此处用表选择关系的词更符合文章整体语气。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】as it turned out是惯用语，意为“实际上”。since，when和what都没有这种用法。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】根据句意，应是“半个小时后，我决定不看电影了”，这里用after适当。within表示“在……之内”；for表示“持续一段时间"；over表示“超过”。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】作者决定不看电影，就开始专心吃爆米花。concentrate on意为“专心于”，正合题意。fix (固定)，chew(咀嚼)和taste(尝)用在此处都不合适。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】从上下文看来，作者说他怎么也不明白为什么卖的人会给他那么多爆米花。接下来一句就说，但是爆米花味道挺不错的。显然是转折意味，选C。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】根据句意可判断，过了一会儿，作者就没听见意大利演员的浪漫语言了，听到的只有爆米花在嘴里咀嚼的声音。所以用全部否定词no。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】wander表示“漫游”；wonder表示“想知道”；imagine表示“想像”；depart表示“离开”。文中句子说，我的思绪开始漫游，然后想到我在韩国的往事。由此可见，B项为最佳答案。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】used to表示“过去常常”；enjoy表示“喜欢”，后接动名词；happen to表示“偶然，碰巧”，与文章内容不符；turn to表示“求助于，翻倒”，用在此处不通。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】作者说他在韩国看电视时，时常见到Kojak这个人，他说着流利的韩语。他一直就好似作者的好朋友，直到他在纽约见到Kojak，而这时的Kojak说着完美的英语，作者顿时觉得被出卖了，所以此题选 A。then(接着)没有until(直到……)更能表示作者对Kojak的感情变化。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】feel like表示“感觉像”；look like表示“看起来像……”；seem like表示“似乎”；appear like表示“显得像……”。根据句意应选A。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】可用排除法解。此句是讲事实，不是虚拟语气，所以不能选B。若用before，则主句应用过去完成时，从句用过去时，与文中句子相反，所以不能选；once表示“一旦”，用在此处不通，所以只能选A，句意为“在我们开始学了几个单词后，母亲建议在家里说英语”。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】quiet表示“安静”，从下文描述可知，作者一家吃饭时都是沉默的，可见，家里很少人讲话，所以变得安静。empty(空荡的)；stiff(冷淡的)和calm(冷静的)都不符合文章内容。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】come out意思有“出现，结果是，冲洗(照片)，发出”等，work out意为“算出，制订出”。根据句意可知，母亲尽量用英语说一些事，但结果是错误百出，我们发出一阵阵笑声。用come out最为恰当。
