本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述一个旅行者旅行时找了一个出租车，出租车司机将她带到宾馆，然后她让出租车司机带她游览城市，并付了100美元，第二天，这个旅行者又让司机带她转了一圈，这个旅客又给了这个司机100美元。后来司机才知道，这200美元是他的姐姐让这名旅客带给他的。

【1】句意：她仔细地环顾四周并询问每一个司机的名字。

根据空后名词name以及There were many taxis“有许多出租车”可知，空处表示“司机的名字”。且根据空前every可知，用单数，故填driver’s。

【2】句意：从机场到宾馆花费5美元。

根据句意可知，译为“花费”，且根据it可知，物作主语，用cost，即“物+cost+钱”。根据全文可知，用一般过去时，cost的过去时为cost。故填cost。

【3】句意：这是非常贵的，但是这个旅客没说什么并且同意了。

根据空前was以及very可知，空处用形容词。根据but he felt a little guilty (内疚的), b___6___ 100 dollars a day was a lot of money“但是他感到内疚，因为100美元一天是很多钱”可知，这个非常贵。expensive昂贵的，故填expensive。

【4】句意：这个司机开心地带着这个女人到处走。

根据句意可知，空处修饰动词took，用副词，且根据It was very e___3___, but the traveler said nothing and agreed“这个是贵的，但是这个旅行者没说什么并且同意了”可知，司机赚了很多钱，所以是开心地带着她游览城市。happily高兴地。故填happily。

【5】句意：这个旅行者给了司机100美元并且要求司机再开一天车。

根据句意可知，要求司机再开一天车。根据ask sb for sth“向某人要……”可知，用for，故填for。

【6】句意：在晚上，这个司机得到了钱，但是他感到有点内疚，因为100美元一天是很多的钱了。

根据句意可知，表示“因为司机索要100美元一天，这个很昂贵，所以司机有点内疚”。空前和空后表示原因，用because“因为”，引导原因状语从句，故填because。
