解析：

(1)	suggest表示“建议”后跟宾语从句必须用虚拟语气；want后不跟宾语从句，排除C、D两项。A、B两项均带宾语，但hope仅表愿望之意，根据当时语境用decide较合适，表示经过深思熟虑后的选择。
(2)	A项是表示时间的介词，不引导句子，此处是一个时间状语从句，用when表示两个动作同时发生。
(3)	这里琼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，此空应为“meet”见面。
(5)	上文提到“We hadn’t decided where we should meet her for lunch”可知已经给琼买了音乐会的票，她却不在，该怎么办的确已成为问题。特别用于对已经清楚了的事情，通常用从属连词since，且注意放在主句之前。
(6)	已经买了三张音乐会的票而一人不在，故此空填problem，指难以解决的问题。
(7)	根据直接引语后的said my wife hopefully 已经给出提示，此空应填think of。
(8)	四个选项的动词都可以和had to构成复合谓语，但主句“the fog was so thick”已经说明了公路交通不得不中断的原因。
(9)	by underground railway是“乘坐地铁”的意思。
(10)	从上文可知大雾很大，阻碍了交通，因此此处为“摸索着走”，即feel one’s way。
(11)	根据常识判断：因雾大摸索着前进，自然是想尽快摸到最近的车站。
(12)	该句为“too…to”结构。
(13)	他们要返回Cambridge。
(14)	make a journey是固定的动词短语，意思为“旅行”。
(15)	副词thus表示“这样”或“到如此程度”，单独修饰句子时不能倒装；把副词so放在句首表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一人；把nor放在句首，表示前面否定的内容也适应于另一个，才能引导倒装句，所以A、C两项不符合句意。另外含有否定意义的副词放在句首时常用倒装。
(16)	根据“We heard the sound of the telephone bell”的语境判断。
(17)	根据上文“the performance began at 2∶30”和“She…had managed to get another ticket for the concert”以及琼给家里打电话的时间，确定她吃的是晚饭。
(18)	根据“We heard the sound of the telephone bell”推断。
(19)	从句子成分看并不缺少什么，故选whether连接引导后面的句子。
(20)	根据琼所说的话得知她的一天玩得很开心，故选successful。
