飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者被“取消”的结果,但从下文可知,飞机航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled“取消”错误。整句话的意思应为“但是正在那时,机场发布了通知,此趟航班因为飞机出了故障得晚点了”。delay“延迟,拖延”；wait“等待,等候”。故D项符合题意。
飞机没有来，“我”坐在那里应该是“等待航班”。flight“飞行，班机”；turn“转动，轮流”；name“名字”；order“命令，次序”。因为飞机没来,当然无法检票,所以order明显不对,也没人叫作者的名字，故选flight。
下一句中出现了lunch照应前文。理解全句,应为“那不是一个商务会议,而是我与一个业务上的朋友的一次愉快的午餐,而且我与这个朋友已经12年没见面了”。Negotiation“协商,谈判”；discussion“讨论”；party“集会,聚会”，均不符合语境。
从上下文可知,作者认为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松一下并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,意思是“放松,休息”；way“路线，方式”；cut“切,削，削减”；method“方法”。
storeaway“贮藏,保存”；puton“穿上”；setaside“留出，撤销”；giveout“分发，用尽”。分析句意,应为：“这就有点像是在看储藏在家里柜子里的老相册一样”。
看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的”回忆”。Celebration”庆祝,庆典”；award”奖品”；memory”记忆,回忆”；present”礼物”。A、C、D三项与语境和作者要表达的内容不吻合,无法概括。
上文提到了photoalbum，显然文中说的应该是“照片”中的人物。呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆,它们带你回到过去的时光和场景，更重要的是，它们让你想起相片中的那些人。cupboard“橱柜”，books“书”，childhood“童年时代”都可排除，与上下文没有联系。
