【解析】
1.
解析 由下文知此處作者有意打破沉默，以免司機因為疲勞而出問題。silence沉默，符合句意。
2.2】 B
解析 on condition that條件是；for fear that害怕，唯恐；in belief相信；in order that以便。語境表示害怕司機開車會太疲勞而有意和他攀談。
3.3】 B
解析 這個故事發生在晚上，司機說他送完我這趟就回家，由此判斷選B項。trip出行，旅行，符合語境。
4.4】 A
解析 問了第一個問題之后，我接著對他發問。用throw out表示“隨口說出”，如throw out one’s suggestion說出某人的建議。give away贈送，泄露；make up編造，虛構；lead to導致，造成。
5.5】 D
解析 從這個司機的回答看，他不像別的出租車司機那樣只是報怨，而是回答的很輕松，這讓“我”感到十分詫異。這里用easiness表示“輕松，自如”。
6.6】 D
解析 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”。suffer受苦，遭受；request要求；benefit有益于。
7.7】 C
解析 賺錢很難，而且經常被警察罰款。從語境和選項看，出租車司機應是被警察“罰款”，所以選C項。detect查明；order命令；fine罰款；seize抓住。
8.8】 C
解析 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。keep保持；taste嘗，品嘗；enjoy享受；choose挑選。
9.9】 C
解析 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。
10.0】 B
解析 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。
11.1】 A
解析 這里用hardly...without的雙重否定表示肯定的含義：很幸運，我幾乎從來沒有拉過空車。
12.2】 A
解析 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。follow跟隨；admire羨慕；envy 嫉妒；meet遇到。
13.3】 D
解析 與下文的“狹窄的街道”呼應，這里應選D項表示“公路”。route路，(公共汽車和列車等的)常規路線；path小路，路；railway鐵路；highway公路，公用通道。
14.4】 B
解析 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。
15.15】 D
解析 從搭配看，這里用take pride in表示“以……自豪”。
16.16】 B
解析 從生活常識可知，高山上的氧氣稀薄，因此選B項。
17.7】 A
解析 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)。gain獲得；concern關心；support支持；loss失去。
18.8】 C
解析 就像這個司機這樣的境界，過一種簡單而內心平靜的生活。simple與前面的high相對，符合語境。
19.9】 D
解析 此情此景，不禁讓我感到不尋常。curious不尋常的，稀罕的，符合語境。
20.20】 B
解析 文章開頭就暗示了故事發生的時間是晚上。
