提示：
1．前面提到spent a few weeks in Sweden，所以应表示当他“准备”回家时。be about to do相当于be going to do。
2．强调仅有够买回英国车票的钱。
3．选decide表示仔细考虑后“决定”，因为只有两天的航程他可以不吃东西回到家。
4．as表示原因，意思是“因为”。
5．上文提到只有买票的钱，所以应是不“吃”东西，下文也提到不吃饭。
6． with表示“用”他仅有的那一点点钱。
7．表示不听午饭的铃声，sound表示“一般的声音”；voice则表示“人说话的声音”；noise表示“噪音”。
8．表示午饭时间到了，应用came；而reach和get主要表示“到达”某地。
9．where引导定语从句修饰place，并且在从句中做状语。
10．表示“说”他感到不舒服，后面有说的内容，不能用speak。
11．表示“舒服；身体好”，应用well，这时well是形容词，做表语。
12．not…until…表示“直到……才……”。
13．“在午饭时”应用at lunch time。
14．根据下文意思可知，应选however表示转折。
15．so…that…句型表示“如此……以至于……”。
16．选stand表示“忍受”之意。
17．表示找东西“吃”。
18．根据上文可知他非常饿，所以应表示他吃掉了放到他面前的“一切东西”。
19．表示吃饱了，非常“满意”。
20．根据服务员所说的话可知他非常“惊讶”，所以选in surprise。
