【解析】【1】因为是交通高峰期,她急于赶火车,于是向司机建议了一条能最快到达目的地的路。in a hurry to do sth. “急于做某事”。
【2】此题易误选A,但从下文来看,此处未选定走哪条路,只是建议而已。
【3】从司机所说的话来判断. 他一定是很生气地说。下文中的“annoyed”一词也是暗示。
【4】女商人试图向司机解释,她并不是想惹司机生气的,故选meant。

【15】此处指固执己见的后果之一是破坏婚姻。此处destroy指“毁坏,破坏”。
【16】此题易误选C。用but强调的是but后的内容,但本句强调的是one simple method,故可将其排除。选though指“我”发现一种简单的方法,虽然不是特别容易做到,但能阻止……
