【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述旅行者尼古拉斯 斯考第從美國回意大利，飛機在肯尼迪機場加油，而他誤以為自己已經(jīng)到達意大利，所以下了飛機。最后在警察的幫助下回到目的地。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The plane made a one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home, Mr. Scotti got off the plane”可知飛機在肯尼迪機場加油，他以為是達到了目的地所以在紐約就下了飛機。在機場沒有人來接他是因為他還在紐約。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。意大利在美國的東南，從美國坐飛機回意大利方向應(yīng)該是向東。故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“found that the old ‘Rome’ had changed a lot”他下飛機以為自己在意大利還覺得羅馬變化很大但其實他還是在紐約。根據(jù)第二段“Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones”和第三段“He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English”可知許多老建筑被替換為現(xiàn)代的高樓，許多人講英語而不是意大利語，也發(fā)現(xiàn)許多用英文寫的路牌。這么多的不同之處，他卻沒有覺得自己走錯了，可見他對美國一無所知。故選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“I know I'm in Italy, That' s how they drive”他對他的翻譯說“我知道我現(xiàn)在在意大利，因為他們就是這么開車的”，意大利的警車也是這樣鳴笛，所以到最后警察把他送回去舊金山的飛機時，他還以為在意大利。故選B。
