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来形容taxi跑得很快，因为下文有now...now“一会儿……一儿会”。

2．“我”坐在车上有意与司机攀谈，打破这种两人不说活的寂静。

3．从空前的I broke the___3____(silence)on purpose看，“我”打破寂静是有目的的，怕的是司机由于疲倦而出事故。

4．“我提出另一个问题。”throw out在这里是“提出（建议，问题）”的意思。

5．每次坐出租车时都与司机交谈。

6．工作是迫不得已的事情，因此用have to.

7．“从大清早忙到晚上”，前文提到这个司机晚上9点回家，而其他司机收工很晚，此处用from mornmg till night.

8．司机们抱怨现在赚钱难，与下文这个司机说每月赚两三千元形成对比。

9．本句用lazily作状语，表示“他”悠闲地坐在那儿。

10．他们分享别人的劳动成果，本句指他们坐享其成。

11．下文说I don't like management work，因此此处用tiring.

12．for pleasure表示“为了取乐，为了消遣”。

13．从下文的描述可知这个司机感到幸运。

14．从下文可知该司机从来不跟随空车，一月可赚两三千块钱。

15．生意好，从不放空车有秘诀。

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

17．与上文along the highway形成对比，into a narrow street。

18．与上文的pride构成动词短语take pride in，意思是“为……感到骄傲”。

19．上文有His easiness surprised me.由此可见这种情况现在很少见。

20．go表示“流传，表达”，as the saying goes的意思是“俗话说”。
