Answer 1

答案：B;D;A;B;A;D;A;B;C;D;B;A;D;B;A;B;B;D;B;C
解析：

1．用fly而不用run來(lái)形容taxi跑得很快，因?yàn)橄挛挠?/FONT>now...now“一會(huì)兒……一兒會(huì)”。

2．“我”坐在車(chē)上有意與司機(jī)攀談，打破這種兩人不說(shuō)活的寂靜。

3．從空前的I broke the___3____(silence)on purpose看，“我”打破寂靜是有目的的，怕的是司機(jī)由于疲倦而出事故。

4．“我提出另一個(gè)問(wèn)題�！�throw out在這里是“提出（建議，問(wèn)題）”的意思。

5．每次坐出租車(chē)時(shí)都與司機(jī)交談。

6．工作是迫不得已的事情，因此用have to.

7．“從大清早忙到晚上”，前文提到這個(gè)司機(jī)晚上9點(diǎn)回家，而其他司機(jī)收工很晚，此處用from mornmg till night.

8．司機(jī)們抱怨現(xiàn)在賺錢(qián)難，與下文這個(gè)司機(jī)說(shuō)每月賺兩三千元形成對(duì)比。

9．本句用lazily作狀語(yǔ)，表示“他”悠閑地坐在那兒。

10．他們分享別人的勞動(dòng)成果，本句指他們坐享其成。

11．下文說(shuō)I don't like management work，因此此處用tiring.

12．for pleasure表示“為了取樂(lè)，為了消遣”。

13．從下文的描述可知這個(gè)司機(jī)感到幸運(yùn)。

14．從下文可知該司機(jī)從來(lái)不跟隨空車(chē)，一月可賺兩三千塊錢(qián)。

15．生意好，從不放空車(chē)有秘訣。

16．從上文的never follow an empty taxi及下文I go northward，可推知此答案。

17．與上文along the highway形成對(duì)比，into a narrow street。

18．與上文的pride構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)take pride in，意思是“為……感到驕傲”。

19．上文有His easiness surprised me.由此可見(jiàn)這種情況現(xiàn)在很少見(jiàn)。

20．go表示“流傳，表達(dá)”，as the saying goes的意思是“俗話說(shuō)”。
