16. C 从文中的第三、四句“Once in Japan . .. new skills and training.”可知,此处应为“原计划”,故选original。
17. A 这是我原计划的一部分,与to be并列的内容,由then可知是先后顺序,而不是选择或转折关系。
18. B 由句意和month的单数形式可排除A、C两项,another后接单数可数名词时不能与one连用。
19. B 从文中可知,“我”是从西雅图出发去了日本后,才感觉在日本的生活缺少一些东西,不习惯“我”的新生活。
20. C 文章开头即已指明“…to improve my English”,所以要学习语言,就应该去language school。
21. A research在此是“研究,探索”之意,可理解为“做调查”。也可以根据下文的“After... I decided to attend...”得出答案。
22. B 根据后面的“I decided to attend ... ”可知此处应是“comparing costs, programmes ...”之后的决定。
23. D A项price与costs重复,B、C两项的内容是相同的,不能选,故选D项。
24. A 根据“programme”与后面的 “Seattle Central Community College”的关系可知应用被动形式,offer在此处应为“提供,资助”的意思。
25. C 上一句“I held a four-year degree in advertising”是“我”想学习印刷以获取亲自实践经验的机会的前提,故选C项。 26. C would意思是“将会”,此处指在过去看来即将发生的事。 27. C introduce sb. to sth.在句中表示“使某人(初次)尝试某事”。
28. D 此句可从句子结构来分析,what既充当happened的主语又充当表语从句的引导词。 29. B enterprise意为“事业”,符合语境。
30. A 通常,形容词与名词的关系亲疏是决定与名词近远的依据。“learning”用来说明“experience”的特征。“real”用来说明“learning experience”的情况。 31. B go back to do sth.“回去做某事”。
32. A make very good sense意思是“非常明智”。

33. B 从全句看句子中缺少主语,可排除C、D两项。A项不定式表示动作即将发生,与文中所提供的情景矛盾,故选B项。
34. D have the chance to do sth.有机会做某事; show展示,表明。 35. D get sth. done意思是“使某事得以完成”。根据题意,D项正确。
