解析：

(1)	nothing more than相当于only，“只不过”之意。
(2)	后面的the other driver暗示我们，作者的朋友也是一位司机，他当时正开车行驶在一条没有铺柏油的单行山道上。
(3)	另一辆车应并在前面，从后面的the car ahead可以找到答案。Before不能用作副词，表示空间关系。
(4)	前一辆车扬起了很多灰尘。本段末有提示。
(5)	作者朋友的车现在正开在灰尘滚滚的没有铺柏油的山路上，所以可以推测，要开到最近的铺好了柏油的公路上还有一段很长的距离。paved与前面的unpaved对应，比较符合语境。
(6)	根据常识判断，汽车开在路边停下来，一般是停在比较宽的地方。
(7)	这里描述了作者朋友当时的想法(内心的一种猜测)，故用Thinking。他认为那部汽车的发动机出了毛病。
(8)	从后面的But可以判断，汽车并没有什么毛病。
(9)	在余下的路程中，另一辆车的司机要求作者朋友的车开在前面，而他自己的车开在后面，忍受吃灰之苦。put up with是“忍受”之意符合语境。而do away with(废除)，catch up with(赶上)，go on with(继续)与句意不合。
(10)	empty是个人所具有的品质和能力，而不是一种行为(behavior)，方法(way)或技术(technique)。
(11)	or暗示，填空处应选用pain的近义词，作同位语，而只有unhappiness符合这个要求。
(12)	按常识判断，在饭店里应该是在吃饭。
(13)	意义转折。
(14)	拧不开酒瓶盖，说明受伤的部位应该是手指头。
(15)	momentarily表示“一会儿，片刻”之意。他转过身有一会儿时间(目的是不让这个顾客看见他轻而易举地旋开了酒瓶盖)，其它选项不符合句意。
(16)	他这时又把旋松的瓶盖拧紧。
(17)	他假装费了很大的劲却没有旋开瓶盖。
(18)	作者是按事情发生的先后顺序来写的，这时已是故事的尾声，故用finally。
(19)	alike在这里是副词，“相同地”意思。礼貌的另一个要素是要平等地对待每一个人，不管他的地位多高，多么重要。
(20)	这里要选用程度状语来修饰，且含有转折的意思。故用Even。
