解析：

(1)	suggest表示“建議”后跟賓語從句必須用虛擬語氣；want后不跟賓語從句，排除C、D兩項。A、B兩項均帶賓語，但hope僅表愿望之意，根據當時語境用decide較合適，表示經過深思熟慮后的選擇。
(2)	A項是表示時間的介詞，不引導句子，此處是一個時間狀語從句，用when表示兩個動作同時發生。
(3)	這里瓊disappeared into the fog，指上文中在“go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London”的路上。
(4)	上文“our plan was to drive into Cambridge，catch the 7∶34 train to Liverpool Street Station，then to separate and meet again for lunch”表明，此空應為“meet”見面。
(5)	上文提到“We hadn’t decided where we should meet her for lunch”可知已經給瓊買了音樂會的票，她卻不在，該怎么辦的確已成為問題。特別用于對已經清楚了的事情，通常用從屬連詞since，且注意放在主句之前。
(6)	已經買了三張音樂會的票而一人不在，故此空填problem，指難以解決的問題。
(7)	根據直接引語后的said my wife hopefully 已經給出提示，此空應填think of。
(8)	四個選項的動詞都可以和had to構成復合謂語，但主句“the fog was so thick”已經說明了公路交通不得不中斷的原因。
(9)	by underground railway是“乘坐地鐵”的意思。
(10)	從上文可知大霧很大，阻礙了交通，因此此處為“摸索著走”，即feel one’s way。
(11)	根據常識判斷：因霧大摸索著前進，自然是想盡快摸到最近的車站。
(12)	該句為“too…to”結構。
(13)	他們要返回Cambridge。
(14)	make a journey是固定的動詞短語，意思為“旅行”。
(15)	副詞thus表示“這樣”或“到如此程度”，單獨修飾句子時不能倒裝；把副詞so放在句首表示前面所說的情況也適用于另一人；把nor放在句首，表示前面否定的內容也適應于另一個，才能引導倒裝句，所以A、C兩項不符合句意。另外含有否定意義的副詞放在句首時常用倒裝。
(16)	根據“We heard the sound of the telephone bell”的語境判斷。
(17)	根據上文“the performance began at 2∶30”和“She…had managed to get another ticket for the concert”以及瓊給家里打電話的時間，確定她吃的是晚飯。
(18)	根據“We heard the sound of the telephone bell”推斷。
(19)	從句子成分看并不缺少什么，故選whether連接引導后面的句子。
(20)	根據瓊所說的話得知她的一天玩得很開心，故選successful。
