【解析】這篇文章主要講了，二十年前，作者以開出租車為生，有一天他接到一個(gè)電話，那是一個(gè)虛弱的老人，他告訴作者自己的時(shí)間不長(zhǎng)了，作者免費(fèi)帶他去了有回憶的地方。這個(gè)故事告訴人們：人的生命中有一些重大的時(shí)刻，有些重大時(shí)刻會(huì)在不經(jīng)意間降臨到人們身上--也許在別人眼中是小事。

【1】句意：一天清晨，我接到一個(gè)叫出租車的電話。 A. made制作；B. received 接收；C. accepted接受；D. gave給。根據(jù)前文I drove a taxi for a living可知，“我”是出租車司機(jī)，應(yīng)該“接到”叫出租車的電話。 故選：B。

【2】句意：許多司機(jī)只會(huì)喊一兩次然后開走，但我想這個(gè)乘客可能需要我的幫助。A. driver名詞，司機(jī)；B. policeman名詞，警察；C. guide名詞，向?qū)В?/span>D. passenger名詞，乘客。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知是“乘客”之意。故選：D。

【3】句意：于是我走到門口敲了敲門，“等一下，”一個(gè)虛弱而蒼老的聲音回答。A. strong形容詞，強(qiáng)壯的；B. loud形容詞，大聲的；C. weak形容詞，弱的；D. sweet形容詞，甜的。根據(jù)后文的描述The ___8___ says I don’t have much time left. 可知，這位老人是個(gè)時(shí)日不多的病人，聲音應(yīng)是“虛弱的”。故選：C。

【4】句意：一個(gè)小老頭提著一個(gè)小袋子出現(xiàn)在我面前。A. carrying現(xiàn)在分詞，提著、拿著； B. taking現(xiàn)在分詞，攜帶；C. wearing現(xiàn)在分詞，穿著；D. fetching現(xiàn)在分詞，拿回。此處是現(xiàn)在分詞在句中作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，掌握基本的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)。故選：A。

【5】句意：他不停地感謝我的好意。A. difference名詞，不同；B. kindness名詞，善良； C. happiness名詞，幸福；D. surprise名詞，驚奇。根據(jù)后文“Oh, you’re such a good man.”可知，老人感謝作者的“善良”。故選：B。

【6】句意：當(dāng)我們坐進(jìn)出租車，他給了我一個(gè)地址，然后問，“你能開車穿過城市中心？”。A. order名詞，命令、訂單；B. address名詞，地址；C. idea名詞，主意；D. promise名詞，承若。根據(jù)后文“But it wasn’t the ___7___way.” I answered quickly可知，此處意為“地址”。故選：B。

【7】句意：但那不是最短的路。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是形容詞的最高級(jí)形式。 A. busiest最忙的；B. longest最長(zhǎng)的；C. quietest最安靜的；D. shortest最短的。根據(jù)后文“Oh, I’m in no hurry.”可推知，這不是最短的路線。故選：D。

【8】句意：醫(yī)生說我剩下的時(shí)間不多了 A. teacher名詞，教師；B. policeman名詞，警察；C. doctor名詞，醫(yī)生；D. neighbor名詞，鄰居。老人是病人，所以應(yīng)是“醫(yī)生”告訴他時(shí)日不多了。故選：C。
