【解析】文章大意：作者在一个晚上坐出租车出行，这辆车的司机随遇而安的生活态度让作者感到诧异，作者由此想到一句老话，“不以物喜，不以己悲。”

1.too... to... 表示“太……而不能”，由此判断选C项，作者有意打破沉默，以免司机因为疲劳而出问题。

2.四个短语的含义：A“条件是”，B“害怕，唯恐”，C“相信”，D“以便”。语境表示害怕司机开车会太疲劳而有意和他攀谈，因此选B项。

3.这个故事发生在晚上，司机说他送完我这趟就回家，由此判断选B项，表示“出行”。A“夜晚”，C“循环”，D“过程”都不符合语境。

4.问了第一个问题之后，我接着对他发问。用throw out表示“随口说出”，如throw out one's suggestion“说出某人的建议”。B“赠送，泄露”，C“编造，虚构”，D“导致，造成”。

5.从这个司机的回答看，他不像别的出租车司机那样辛苦，他如此自在，这让“我”感到十分诧异。这里用easiness表示“自在，自如”。

6.我每次坐出租车的时候，从司机那儿听到的都是抱怨，说他们要从清早工作到深夜……这里用hear表示“听见，听到”。

7.赚钱很难，而且经常被警察罚款。从语境和选项看，出租车司机应是被警察“罚款”，所以选C项。

8.或者埋怨说，领导懒洋洋地坐在办公室里享受他们的劳动果实。

9.从下面的叙述可知，这个司机觉得他原先那种日子很无聊，让人觉得很厌烦，因此选C项。

10.从前面的叙述可推知，这个人觉得当出租车司机很惬意：他每天不用早起，不用晚归，而且自己每个月能赚到足够的钱。

11.这里用hardly... without的双重否定表示肯定的含义：很幸运，我几乎从来没有拉过空车。

12.从下文的叙述判断选A项，从来不跟在跑空车的出租车后面，这样的车向南开，他就开车往北去。

13.与下文的“狭窄的街道”呼应，这里选D项表示“公路”。

14.从前文这个司机的叙述看，他很满意自己开出租车的生活，因此选B项。

15.从搭配看，这里用take pride in表示“以……自豪”。

16.从生活常识可知，高山上的氧气稀薄，因此选B项。

17.就像一句老话所说的，“不以物喜，不以己悲”，不以物质的收获为喜，不以个人的挫折为痛苦。

18.就像这个司机这样的境界，过一种简单而有思想的生活。simple与前面的high相对，符合语境。

19.此情此景，不禁让我感到不寻常。A“愤怒的”，B“满意的”，C“危险的”都不符合语境。

20.文章开头就暗示了故事发生的时间是晚上。
