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，當時我正在Durham University學習。因為談到我畢業(yè)后還申請了幾個大學來進一步學習。
(3)	從后文可以看出我每天都到傳達室去等候來自其他大學的對我的申請表的答復，所以此處應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發(fā)出了申請書。
(5)	根據上一句中的“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”。report意思是“報道，報告”，而chance的意思是“機會”，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，但本題沒有此意。結合題意“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……時候”，都不符合當時情景，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)	根據句法結構此處應用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結尾的形容詞，而修飾物時常用-ing結尾的形容詞。
(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)	根據題意，這個秘書是很興奮的，所以此處選brighten“眼前一亮”。
