答案解析：

小题1:D 根据前后文的信息，可知我在等饮料的过程中发生后面的事情。

小题2:.B 转折连词but前后的句意，还有54空后的那句I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people 都说明我的感觉的孤单loneliness.

小题3:.A 前后句的因果关系。I couldn’t feel their souls是因为their souls全放在了电脑上。

小题4:. C 后文多次提及computer chatting online, playing a computer game, computer geek说明本题与net 形成呼应。

小题5:.C 前文的I stood up and waked between the table提示该是坐在那儿聊天打游戏。

小题6:A 后句的he was chatting online and…he was playing a computer game---a war game.说明他很忙。

小题7:.C 一边聊天，一边打游戏，所有用at the same time。

小题8:.A 下文的why didn’t Steve want to talk with me?说明我很惊讶。

小题9:.B 呼应上段多次主动交谈，所有这里选择再一次。

小题10:.A后句的转折关系。我多次主动和他交谈，但是他一句话也不说。

小题11:.D 呼应上文多次闻讯没有结果。所以后文采取的行动，说明我很不高兴。

小题12:C 根据上下文的情景应用leave me along别打扰我，走开。符合语境。

小题13:.D 呼应后半句and saw nobody showed any interest 应该是抬头看。

小题14: B 承上启下。就在那时，我发现他们和机器而不是和人进行很好的交流。

小题15:A 前句的I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people.

小题16:A 呼应全文信息。他们更感兴趣的是人于电脑之间的关系而不是人于人之间的关系。

小题17:.C 呼应全文，我发出感慨，无法想象人类的未来会怎么样

小题18:.B 与本段的前两句照样。选择了和机器交流而不是与别人交流。

小题19:.D 我陷入了沉思，没有意识到coffee was bad。正如Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

小题20:.B前后句呼应。正如Steve没有注意到边上有人一样。
