【解析】

试题分析：作者在旅行前打点行装时总是对于该带什么不该带什么而烦恼，而对于她的朋友Vikki来讲旅行时带上谁才是最重要的，哪怕是印有过世亲人朋友身影的祈祷卡。通过两年前的一次旅行，作者终于体会到了Vikki这样做所带来的快乐，对于旅行前所要带上的东西也有了新的认识。

1.A连词辨析。A当。。。时候；B直到；C 自从；D因为。根据语境判断当作者打点行装的时候脑子里回想起儿时父亲唱的这首歌。所以A选项正确。

2.C名词辨析。A衣服；B牙刷；C 麻烦事；D 行李。由上文歌曲的名字“ Pack up your Troubles,”可知歌词中应该是把烦恼装进旧包，然后展颜微笑。故C选项正确。

3.B动词辨析。A改革；B改变；C 制作；D保持。从文章叙述可知作者对于旅行前收拾行囊感到郁闷，不知道该带什么，不该带什么。这说明关于旅行时可携带物品的规定是一直在变的，故B选项正确。

4.D代词辨析。A很少；B更少；C很多；D更多。根据文章内容判断作者感觉现在打点行李时不再是乐趣，所以应该是烦恼比乐趣多，故D为正确选项。

5.A疑问词。A什么；B谁；C哪个；D无论什么。此处是疑问词+to do 结构，而且疑问词在逻辑上做pack的宾语，从上下文可知应该是代替物的词，而which的选用需要有范围限制， 故A选项正确。

6.B动词辨析。A持有，握着；B带上；C递送；D制作。从下文Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth。。。she took my mother-in-law句中的动词可知此处填take，故B为正确选项。

7.C连词辨析。A 但是；B 所以；C 并且；D否则。从语境判断前句Vikki took her mother skiing和后句she took my mother-in-law之间是并列关系，所以C选项正确。

8.D动词辨析。A制作；B 出售；C 聚集；D 收集。根据下文所叙述的内容以及Vikki’s collection可知Vikki喜欢收集祈祷卡。所以D选项正确。

9.A名词辨析。A卡片；B 图片；C 故事；D 书。从上文。。。prayer cards of her loved ones判断此处填A。这些祈祷卡上有耶稣和过世的亲朋好友的的照片。

10.B副词辨析。A不幸地；B 明显地；C 尤其；D最后，最终。从上下文可知作者旅行时不像Vikki一样带上这些卡，所以认为显然她自己不是像Vikki那么多愁善感的人。B选项正确。

11.C动词辨析。A创造；B听见，听说；C目睹，见证；D凝视，注视。从下文作者讲述的经历可知Larry因一张祈祷卡而感动，由此判断她是见到了祈祷卡的力量。

12.A名词辨析。A晚餐；B工作；C家庭作业；D家务活。从后面的at a restaurant 判断他们是刚刚吃完饭。所以A选项正确。

13.A动词辨析。A滑；B藏；C写；D制作。从空后面的across the table to Larry判断她是把卡片从桌子上推过去，所以选A。

14.D名词辨析。A兄弟；B姐妹；C父亲；D母亲。由下文Larry had his mom with him indeed .可知此处是指带上他的母亲，所以正确答案是D。

15.B形容词辨析。A惊讶的；B感动的；C远离的；D困惑的。从语境可知Vikki把Larry的母亲的照片给Larry，让他爬山时候带上他的母亲，由此判断Larry是受到了感动，所以B选项正确。

16.B名词辨析。A 衣领；B口袋；C 袋子；D衣袖。从情理推测Larry应该把母亲的照片放到自己的衬衣口袋里，所以B为正确选项。

17.A动词辨析。A 意识到，实现；B认出，承认；C恢复；D抵抗。最后一段是作者对于这件事的感悟，所以此处应该填realize，故A选项正确。

18.B短语辨析。A时而；B始终；C曾经，一度；D决不。从作者讲述Vikki总是在旅行时带上印有过世亲人朋友照片的祈祷卡可以推断她应该是一直感觉到如此做所带来的快乐，故B选项正确。

19.C名词辨析。A老师；B作家；C 游客；D士兵。根据上文的讲述可知作者一直在讲旅行时所要携带的东西，而且后面的on a flight也是提示，所以此处应该指游客，所以C选项正确。

20.D形容词。A难过的；B失望的；C沮丧的；D愉快的。从下文what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile和整篇文章的内容可知作者通过自己的亲身经历意识到了如何才能让自己快乐，所以D为正确选项。
