【解析】這篇短文講述了作者在去美國的時(shí)候，因?yàn)閷τ⒄Z這門語言的不了解，從而造成的誤解。雖然英國英語和美國英語有一些不同，但是大多數(shù)時(shí)候他們兩個(gè)國家的人都是可以互相理解的。

【1】句意：這不是我第一次去國外。out 在外面；away離開； outside 在外邊；abroad在國外。根據(jù)上文When I was 16 years old，I made my first visit to the United States可知作者去了美國，再根據(jù)下文I had often been to France.可知，作者經(jīng)常去法國，因此這里是說這不是他第一次去國外，故應(yīng)選D。

【2】句意：因此我習(xí)慣了跟不明白英語的人說外語。But 但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折；So 因此，表示結(jié)果；And 和，而且，表示并列；Then然后，是一個(gè)副詞。根據(jù)上文I had often been to France可知，作者經(jīng)常出國，所以他習(xí)慣了說外語，這里是因果關(guān)系，故應(yīng)選B。

【3】句意：因此我習(xí)慣了跟不明白英語的人說外語。English英語；French法語；Russia俄語；Chinese漢語。根據(jù)上句話Like most English children，I learned French at school可知，作者是英國人，但是他也會說法語，所以他可以跟不懂英語的人用法語交流。故應(yīng)選A。

【4】句意：但是當(dāng)我去美國的時(shí)候，我真的盼望著能度過一個(gè)沒有任何語言問題，美好的、輕松的假期。lesson課；math數(shù)學(xué)；language 語言；money錢。根據(jù)上文Like most English children可知，作者是英國人，他們和美國人一樣，都是說英語的，所以他去美國不會有語言的問題。故選C。

【5】句意：我在找一個(gè)公共電話，去給我的美國朋友Danny打一個(gè)電話。cheap便宜的；popular流行的，受歡迎的；public公共的；good好的。根據(jù)下文here's a phone box near here?可知，作者想找一個(gè)公共電話亭，故應(yīng)選C。

【6】句意：他驚訝的回答：那太奇怪了。good 好的；strange 奇怪的，陌生的；nice 好的；funny滑稽的，可笑的。根據(jù)句中he answered in surprise可知，他感到很驚奇，故應(yīng)選B。

【7】句意：你看起來很年輕，你結(jié)婚了嗎？small 小的；smart 聰明的；little小的，少的；young年輕的。根據(jù)下句話Are you getting married可知，這個(gè)陌生人覺得作者還很小，不可能已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了，所以是看起來年輕。故選D。

【8】句意：你能告訴我這附近有公用電話亭嗎？where在哪里；what什么；if是否。這里考查賓語從句，根據(jù)句意可知，作者想知道這附近是否有公共電話亭。故應(yīng)選C。

【9】句意：當(dāng)我們見面的時(shí)候，Danny給我解釋了這個(gè)誤會。described 描述；explained解釋；talked談話；expressed表達(dá)。根據(jù)句意可知，Danny是給作者解釋作者在語言上出的錯(cuò)誤。故應(yīng)選B。

【10】句意：有很多單詞在意思上美國人和英國人用的是不一樣的。write寫；speak說；use用；read讀。根據(jù)上文作者在美國遇到的事情可知，他是在單詞的使用上出現(xiàn)了錯(cuò)誤，因此這句話是說有一些單詞英國人和美國人在使用的時(shí)候是不一樣的，故應(yīng)選C。
