内容概要：本文讲述了Tom第一次到英格兰，不听朋友的建议，独自外出，结果把火车的方向弄反了，以致到错了地方。
答案简析：
小题1:against one’s advice意为“违背别人的建议”。
小题2:通过下文得知他是一人出来，故用alone。
小题3:下面街道人多为患，所以用“bad”。
小题4:for表原因，用以解释 bad time。
小题5:要排长队购票是不以他的意志为转移的，他是“不得不”排队。
小题6:turn表示“轮次”。
小题7:售票员听不懂他的话，他却把票买成了，前后句显然有“转折”关系。
小题8:问路一般用ask the “way”。
小题9:be packed with be crowded with。正因为人拥挤，才没上得了第一趟火车。
小题10:manage to do表示“设法得以做成某事”，没做成当然用not manage了。
小题11:因为是在拥挤的站台上，显然获得的是一个稍好些的站的“位置”。
小题12:从from behind 来看，他是被人推向前的。sweep在此意思是“猛推”。
小题13:push与sweep同义。
小题14:看不清的应是“站名”。signs应注意排除，毕竟他首次到英国，即使各个站有其独特的符号、标记，他也不可能知道。
小题15:站就是火车“停”靠的地方。
小题16:这里的stop与station同义。
小题17:觉得旅行如此轻松，心情当然是“高兴的”。
小题18:选项D应注意排除，因为他不是英国人，所以没到过这个车站是明摆着的，故这一答案是正确，但与hear of 相比，不能算是最佳答案。
小题19:这里的difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事，他还未知道，所以谈不上什么错误，故选项B，不能确定为答案。
小题20:听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了，那人的第一反应应当是觉得好笑，即答案应在A、B之间。joke不可能出现在脸上，故答案只能为B。
