【解析】36. C too…to… 表示“太……而不能”,选 C项,作者有意打破沉默,以免司机因为疲劳而出问题。
37. B 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。
38. B 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。
39. A 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 ont 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”。
40. D 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”。
41. D 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”。
42. C 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
43. C 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
44. C 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。

46. A 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。
47. A 从下文叙述判断选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。
48. D 与下文的“狭窄的街道”呼应,这里选D项表示“公路”。
49. B 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。
50. D 从搭配看,这里用 take prid en表示“以……自豪”。
51. B 从生活常识可知,高山上的氧气稀薄,因此选B项。
52. A 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。
53. C 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。
54. D 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。
55. B 文章开头就暗示了故事发生的时间是晚上。
