Question

Andy was still traveling in Spain when he realized he had to confirm his flight home with the airline company. He was visiting Spain in order to improve his Spanish. When he was speaking to people face to face, he had no difficulty understanding what they said. However, when he was speaking on the phone, he still had a problem. Andy called the airline. And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o'clock three days from that day. She also told Andy to be at the airport two hours earlier in order to check in his luggage and get a seat.
Since he was leaving in three days, Andy didn't lose any time. He visited as many places as he could. He thought that it would probably be a while before he had enough money again. He wished he could come back and spend a year in Spain.
Too quickly, the final day arrived. Andy left early for the airport to arrive two hours before take-off. He hated to rush. He went to the clerk to show his ticket. The clerk looked at the ticket in surprise. "Why, sir, but your flight was at nine o'clock in the morning, and now it is eight in the evening." "But I confirmed my flight," insisted Andy. "Will I have to pay for another ticket?"
"No, Sir. However, the next flight out will be three days from now."
Andy's look of shock turned to pleasure as he realized that now he could continue his vacation.

解析試題分析：本文講述了Andy為了提高西班牙語而到西班牙進行旅行，面對面說話還行，打打電話是就有點困難，這導致其在電話確認航班時出現(xiàn)了錯誤，導致其不能按時回國。
【小題1】根據(jù)文中語句“He was visiting Spain in order to improve his Spanish.”理解可知，本題應該選B。
【小題2】通讀全文中的語句理解可知，是Andy將航空公司職員的話理解錯誤了，從而導致錯過航班。所以本題選D。
