解析：

(1)	sometimes意為“有時”，通讀全文后會得出答案。
(2)	從本段可以看出，當(dāng)時我正在Durham University學(xué)習(xí)。因為談到我畢業(yè)后還申請了幾個大學(xué)來進(jìn)一步學(xué)習(xí)。
(3)	從后文可以看出我每天都到傳達(dá)室去等候來自其他大學(xué)的對我的申請表的答復(fù)，所以此處應(yīng)該是我打算和計劃畢業(yè)后再去深造。plan to do sth．意為“計劃做某事”，而manage to do sth．表示已經(jīng)成功地做了某事。
(4)	send…to…向某處發(fā)送。從文中可以看出我向好幾個大學(xué)發(fā)出了申請書。
(5)	根據(jù)上一句中的“go to another university”和下文的“He told me that a letter had arrived in his office for you from Manchester University”可知答案。
(6)	reply意為“答復(fù)”。report意思是“報道，報告”，而chance的意思是“機(jī)會”，都不符合句意。
(7)	從后面“with a toothbrush in his hand”和“I even didn’t 　　13　　 y breakfast and rushed to Mr．G’s office”這兩句可知是早飯。
(8)	still意為“仍然，還”。yet，already常用于完成時態(tài)，yet常用在疑問句和否定句中，不合題意。even意為“甚至”，表強調(diào)，但本題沒有此意。結(jié)合題意“他嘴里還有牙刷”，可知答案為still。
(9)	as if…意為“好像……，似乎……”。A項后面不能接句子；after意為?“在……之后”；while意為“當(dāng)……時候”，都不符合當(dāng)時情景，這個人似乎怕忘了這個重要的消息，所以他牙還沒刷就來告訴我這個事情。
(10)	message在此處作“口信”講。sign意為“跡象”；letter意為“信”；notice意為“布告，通知”，都不合題意。
(11)	as soon as“一……就……”，從屬連詞，在此處連接時間狀語從句。其他選項不符合語境。
(12)	jump with joy意為“興高采烈，高興得跳起來”，是固定搭配。
(13)	finish完成一般的事情，是個常用詞，其搭配是finish sth．/doing sth．；complete意為“完成完備”，指完成大的工程/項目時用。complete還有補充完整的意思。
(14)	be in意為“在這兒”，此處作“在辦公室里”講。
(15)	根據(jù)句法結(jié)構(gòu)此處應(yīng)用explain一詞。explain的用法是：explain sth．to sb．或explain to sb．，而tell后常跟雙賓語或復(fù)合賓語，即tell sb．to do sth．或tell sb．sth．。
(16)	an obvious place指“顯而易見的地方”。
(17)	形容人時常用-ed結(jié)尾的形容詞，而修飾物時常用-ing結(jié)尾的形容詞。
(18)	從后句可知，她是沒有鎖上門。其他三項加上動詞原形都表示動作已完成了。
(19)	suddenly＝all of a sudden突然。從后面“眼前一亮”可知動作發(fā)生的較突然。
(20)	根據(jù)題意，這個秘書是很興奮的，所以此處選brighten“眼前一亮”。
