答案：1．A;2．D;3．B;4．A;5．C;6．B;7．B;8．A;9．D;10．B;11．D;12．A;13．B;14．A;15．C;16．D;17．B;18．B;19．C;20．A;
解析：

(1)	根据句意和词的用法可排除另三项。
(2)	与the unpleasant smell形成对比。
(3)	由第二个空格前的那句话可知，作者在这里强调的不是室内陈设的混乱，根据下文应指混乱的“人”。
(4)	根据上节以及the magazines…like a great pile of waste paper可知，这里很不卫生，墙上的画想必也是和桌上的杂志一样布满了灰尘。另三个选项与下一分句意义不符。
(5)	“像一堆废纸”应是一种视觉感受。
(6)	take one's seat意为“就座”。
(7)	下文描述的均为候诊室里众人的神志，故应选用watching(观看)。
(8)	从quickly and nervously以及下一句可以推知，他是在“翻看”杂志。
(9)	他在那儿快速地、神经质地似地翻动杂志，并且隔一会儿就换一本，真让人“很难”判断他到底要看什么。
(10)	every three minutes意为“每隔两分钟”。另A、D一般不接复数名词，C不能与or so连用。
(11)	从第五个空格前的内容可知，杂志是放在桌上的，所以他只能将杂志扔回到“桌子”上，并从那儿再取一本。
(12)	根据语境可推知，小孩子的母亲正竭力“阻止”他发出声音以免影响他人，特别是旁边正在熟睡的老人。allow不合语境，forbid不接sb from doing, fight表意不清。
(13)	小孩的母亲正竭力阻止他发出“声音”，因为他正在地上拨弄烟灰缸，同时还在挥动手中的铅笔以模仿飞机的声音。
(14)	“在挥动铅笔时的同时”模仿飞机的声音。
(15)	凭语感。另三项与文中的小孩无关。
(16)	凭语感。她的孩子并没有将那位老人吵醒，故她没必要难过(sorry)或生气(angry)。
(17)	“将……弄醒”应为wake…up。
(18)	由the door opened和…led out of the room可推知。
(19)	人们本都是坐着的，故护士进来时，他们自然是抬头“向上”看。
(20)	被护士带出的肯定是“病人”，余者不合语境。
