CBBADDCCCBAADBDBACDB

【解析】36. C too…to…  表示“太……而不能”,選 C項,作者有意打破沉默,以免司機因為疲勞而出問題。

37. B 四個短語的含義:A“條件是”,B“害怕,唯恐”,C“相信”,D“以便”。語境表示害怕司機開車會太疲勞而有意和他攀談,因此選B項。

38. B 這個故事發(fā)生在晚上,司機說他送完我這趟就回家,由此判斷選B項,表示“出行”。A“夜晚”,C“循環(huán)”,D“過程”都不符合語境。

39. A 問了第一個問題之后,我接著對他發(fā)問。用throw out表示“隨口說出”,如throw ont one’s suggestion“說出某人的建議”。B“贈送,泄露”,C“編造,虛構”,D“導致,造成”。

40. D 從這個司機的回答看,他不像別的出租車司機那樣辛苦,他如此自在,這讓“我”感到十分詫異。這里用easiness表示“自在,自如”。

41. D 我每次坐出租車的時候,從司機那兒聽到的都是抱怨,說他們要從清早工作到深夜……這里用hear表示“聽見,聽到”。

42. C 賺錢很難,而且經(jīng)常被警察罰款。從語境和選項看,出租車司機應是被警察“罰款”,所以選C

43. C 或者埋怨說,領導懶洋洋地坐在辦公室里享受他們的勞動果實

44. C 從下面的敘述可知,這個司機覺得他原先那種日子很無聊,讓人覺得很厭煩,因此選C項。

45. B 從前面的敘述可推知,這個人覺得當出租車司機很愜意:他每天不用早起,不用晚歸,而且自己每個月能賺到足夠的錢。

46. A 這里用hardly…Without的雙重否定表示肯定的含義:很幸運,我?guī)缀鯊膩頉]有拉過空車。

47. A 從下文敘述判斷選A項,從來不跟在跑空車的出租車后面,這樣的車向南開,他就開車往北去。

48. D 與下文的“狹窄的街道”呼應,這里選D項表示“公路”。

49. B 從前文這個司機的敘述看,他很滿意自己開出租車的生活,因此選B項。

50. D 從搭配看,這里用 take prid en表示“以……自豪”。

51. B 從生活常識可知,高山上的氧氣稀薄,因此選B項。

52. A 就像一句老話所說的,“不以物喜,不以己悲”,不以物質的收獲為喜,不以個人的挫折為痛苦。

53. C 就像這個司機這樣的境界,過一種簡單而有思想的生活。simple與前面的high相對,符合語境。

54. D 此情此景,不禁讓我感到不尋常。A“憤怒的”,B“滿意的”,C“危險的”都不符合語境。

55. B 文章開頭就暗示了故事發(fā)生的時間是晚上。
