【解析】36. C too…to…  表示“太……而不能”，選 C項(xiàng)，作者有意打破沉默，以免司機(jī)因?yàn)槠诙鰡栴}。

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(jī)開車會太疲勞而有意和他攀談，因此選B項(xiàng)。

38. B 這個故事發(fā)生在晚上，司機(jī)說他送完我這趟就回家，由此判斷選B項(xiàng)，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(gòu)”，D“導(dǎo)致，造成”。

40. D 從這個司機(jī)的回答看，他不像別的出租車司機(jī)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(jī)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(xiàng)看，出租車司機(jī)應(yīng)是被警察“罰款”，所以選C

43. C 或者埋怨說，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)懶洋洋地坐在辦公室里享受他們的勞動果實(shí)

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

45. B 從前面的敘述可推知，這個人覺得當(dāng)出租車司機(jī)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(yùn)，我?guī)缀鯊膩頉]有拉過空車。

47. A 從下文敘述判斷選A項(xiàng)，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(yīng)，這里選D項(xiàng)表示“公路”。

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

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(xiàng)。

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

53. C 就像這個司機(jī)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。
