答案：
(答案→)36---55 BCADC ABBDC DBCBA DACAD
解析：
36.A、C意思不符，可排除，learn可直接与Spanish相连，不能加his，故选B，意为“提高……水平”。答案为B。
37.in person意为“亲自”，是与后文中的“speaking on the phone”对照的。A项slowly“慢慢地”；B项in public“公开地”；D项carefully“仔细地，认真地”，均不符合题意。答案为C。
38.“have (some/no) difficulty (in) doing sth”是固定用法，意为“做某事有/没有困难”。答案为A。
39.根据上下文，可知此处应为一个转折关系的连词，用“however”。答案为D。
40.句子主、谓、宾俱全，欠缺修饰词，seldom是“很少”，just是“仅仅、只是”，even表“甚至”，只有still“仍然”，符合题意，表达与上句相反意思。答案为C。
41.从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了，说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话，从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话，我们可知道应是called。答案为A。
42.also是“而且，还，也”，是指the clerk除了告诉Andy他问的问题外，还告诉他一些另外的信息。答案为B。
43.时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间，before是在某个点时间之前，later，after不符合题意，答案为B。
44. 因为leave是短暂性动词，用进行时态代替过去将来时，而其他A、B、C则不可以。答案为D。
45.这句话意思为：因为Andy三天后就要离开，他不浪费一点时间。A项take time“不紧不慢”；B项have time“有时间”；D项find time“找时间”，均不正确。答案为C。
46.Andy这样想时他还在西班牙，指的是从他的国家再次来到西班牙，故用come back。答案为D。
47.此处副词应修饰动词arrived，只能是“来得快”故用quickly。A项shortly“不久以后”；B项badly“严重地，恶劣地”；D项early“早的”，均不符合题意。答案为B。
48.从上句中他提前到达，表明Andy不喜欢“匆忙”，A、B不合语意，应排除，delay是“耽搁，推迟”并不能在文中体现。答案为C。
49.句意为让the clerk看他的票，他已有票，buy(买)order(定)不合题意，provide是“提供”，他并不是把票让给the clerk，故用present“向……显示……之意”。答案为B。
50.很容易看出，由于Andy的票已过期了，他却要找那架已飞走的飞机，他当然是astonished(惊奇的)故用with astonishment。答案为A。
51.应用时间状语，因为句意是说明时间。答案为D。
52.B意为“道歉”，不合题意，C为回答，而后边“Will I have…”是问句，用“回答”不合适，同样D为“要求”，而前边“But I confirmed…”是叙述不合适。答案为A。
53.look是“神色”的意思。这儿指的是他吃惊的神色。A项experience“经历，经验”；B项expression“表达”；D项face，均不符合。答案为C。
54.我们已知Andy不想离开Spain，当他得知他还有三天时间时，当然高兴。答案为A。
55. plan是计划，而这一切在计划之外，是突发状况，flight是指乘飞机的旅程journey
指陆上的旅行，而Andy由于耽误了飞机，要在Spain呆上三天，不能说旅程，只能用vacation。答案为D。
