32、不是想要惹司机生气的，因此本题选meant。40D。结合上下文语境可知，司机不断大喊大叫。41A。考查形容词辨析。她意识到他恼怒得已经不讲道理了。reasonable“讲道理的，有理性的”符合语境。thoughtful“沉思的，思考的”；normal“正常的，平常的”；practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”。42B。考查词组搭配。change ones mind“改变主意/想法”。女商人见此情景，她改变了想法。43B。考查形容词辨析。女商人对司机说自己似乎犯错误了，居然认为司机不是对城市道路最熟悉的人。可知答案为B项，stupid语气太重。44C。考查介词辨析。through“从的一端到

33、另一端，穿过，贯穿”，符合题意。45A。考查对上下文语境的理解。对女商人的突然转变，司机自然是感到“惊奇”的，他不再跟她争论，居然开车送她了。46A。坐在出租车上的自然应是rider“乘客”。47A。考查句型。直到女商人下车付车费，司机一句话也没有再讲。本句考查了句型：not.until.“直到才”。48D。考查词组搭配。be faced with“面临”。此处意为：当你发现自己面对像这位出租车司机那样的人时。49C。考查动词短语辨析。结合下文内容可知，此处意为：当你遇上像上面那位出租车司机那样的人时，你常常试图坚持己见，但是这样只能引起更多的争执，由此可知应选C项，stick to“遵守，坚

34、持”。50B。考查动词辨析。此处指固执己见的后果之一是破坏婚姻。destroy指“毁坏，毁灭，破坏”。51D。易误选C。but强调的是but后面的内容，但本句强调的是one simple method，固可将其排除。而选though则可，指我发现一种简单的方法，虽然不是特别容易做到，但能阻止导致危机。52B。考查词组搭配。result in“引起，导致，以为结局”，符合题意。53C。考查名词辨析。此处意为：关键是要站在别人的立场上。key“关键”，符合题意。54D。考查名词辨析。truth指“真理，正确的因素”。此处意为：关键是要换位思考，要承认对方话语中的某些合理成分。55A。考查动词辨析。先设法认可对方(的意见)，你可能会得到意想不到的结果。*结束
