本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与社会”的主题语境。作者为了写一本关于多元文化的书而去纽约，在去机场的路上遭遇交通事故，但意外结识了在纽约开酒吧的Allen，最终两人成为了好朋友。
1. B 选项：publish出版；seek寻找；escape逃离；fold包，裏。由本空“To 1 and collect material at first hand for my book, I headed to New York.”可知，为了给“我”的书“寻找(seek)”和收集一手的材料，“我”去了纽约。
2. A 选项：occurred发生；responded回应；reflected反映；marched前进。由下文的“I had a car accident”可知，在去机场的路上意外“发生了(occurred)”一场车祸。
3. B 选项：suitable合适的；mild轻微的；financial财政的，财务的；neat极好的。由空前的“Fortunately, I just got 3 injuries”可知，幸运的是，“我”只是受了“轻微的(mild)”伤。
4. D 选项：Meanwhile同时；Therefore因此；Besides而且；Instead相反地。由上文的“I had a car accident.”“We didn’t claim for the loss on the insurance to get a quicker settlement.”以及下文的“Allen, the owner of the other 5 , admitted affording fifty percent of the loss.”可知，作者经历了交通事故，为了快速地解决问题，作者没有向保险索求损失。“相反地(Instead)”，另一辆“车(car)”的车主Allen承认要承担50%的损失，car属于原词复现。
5. C 选项：climate气候；poetry诗集，诗歌；car汽车；boot靴子。见上题解析。
6. C 选项：respect尊重；tension紧张；surprise惊讶；joy快乐。由上文的叙述和常识可知，在去机场的路上，作者和Allen一起发生车祸，上了飞机之后发现Allen坐在他旁边，所以Allen的反应应该是“惊讶(surprise)”。
7. B 选项：clap拍手；chat聊天；gather集合；wrestle摔跤。根据下文的“He told me a lot about New York”可知，Allen告诉作者很多关于纽约的事，故此处应是他们开始“聊天(chat)”。
8. A 选项：mission使命；income收入；insurance保险；marriage婚姻。根据上文的“To 1 and collect material at first hand for my book, I headed to New York”可知，为了给“我”的书寻找和收集第一手的材料，“我”去了纽约，所以“我”是带着“使命(mission)”去的。
9. C 选项：hired租用；decorated装饰；ran经营；complain抱怨。由“Knowing it’s not doing well, I gave him some 10 suggestions.”可知，Allen聊到了酒吧的生意不太好，作者给了他一些建议，所以这个酒吧应该是Allen“经营(ran)”的。
10. D 选项：passive被动的；romantic浪漫的；comic滑稽的；constructive建设性的。由下文的“What he treasured most was one suggestion that…”可知，作者给建议给Allen，下文描述了他最珍惜的一点，所以作者的建议应是“建设性的(constructive)”。
11. A 选项：combining结合；replacing取代；representing代表；treating对待。由空后的“the cooking culture of the west with the east, the bar should provide cheeses… and a series of herbal tea”可知，作者的建议既提到西方又提到东方，既有奶酪又有草药茶，所以作者应该是建议Allen把西方和东方的烹饪文化“结合(combining)”起来。
12. B 选项：poisons毒药；dishes菜；jeans牛仔裤；diagrams图表。由本句的“the bar should provide cheeses, tasty mushroom 12 and herbal tea.”可知，酒吧应该提供奶酪、美味的蘑菇“菜(dishes)”和草药茶。
13. D 选项：operated操作；removed去除；imported进口；offered提供。由本句的“a china vase as a gift”以及下文的叙述可知，“我”和Allen最后成了朋友，所以挥手告别时，“我”“提供(offered)”了一个瓷器花瓶作为礼物给艾伦。
14. A 选项：bar酒吧；church教堂；clinic门诊；kindergarten幼儿园。由上文的“He also said 9 a jazz bar in the downtown district”可知，Allen在市中心经营着一家爵士酒吧，所以这里是邀请“我”去他开的“酒吧”，bar属于原词复现。
15. D 选项：figured out计算；carried through帮助渡过难关；tripped over被绊倒；brought about带来。根据整个故事的内容：作者为了写一本关于不同文化的书而去纽约，在去机场的路上遭遇交通事故，但却意外结识了在纽约开酒吧的Allen，最终两人成为好朋友。因此，这样的意外事故“带来了(brought about)”美好的友谊。

1. definitely 考查词性转换。修饰动词feels应用副词。
2. that/which 考查连词。引导定语从句并在从句中充当主语，修饰先行词the earthquake，指物，故填that或which。
3. but 考查连词。因“过去是城里的一个贫困区域”与“现在是艺术、音乐和美食中心”是转折关系，故填连词but。
4. was influenced 考查被动语态。空格在which引导的定语从句中作谓语动词。因从句主语which与influence之间为被动关系，且该句为一般过去时，故填was influenced。
5. for 考查介词。介词for+一段时间表示“经过一段时间”。
6. the 考查冠词。特指“发生在加利福尼亚的历史变化”，故填the。
7. to seek 考查非谓语动词。结合句意可知，此处应用不定式作目的状语。
8. opening 考查非谓语动词。空格处作介词by的宾语，表示“通过……方式”。
9. immigrants 考查名词单复数。由后面的from different countries and cultures可知，应用名词的复数形式。
10. selected 考查动词的时态。因句中缺谓语动词，且由语境可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填selected。
