【解析】這篇文章主要講了，二十年前，作者以開出租車為生，有一天他接到一個電話，那是一個虛弱的老人，他告訴作者自己的時間不長了，作者免費帶他去了有回憶的地方。這個故事告訴人們：人的生命中有一些重大的時刻，有些重大時刻會在不經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，我接到一個叫出租車的電話。 A. made制作；B. received 接收；C. accepted接受；D. gave給。根據前文I drove a taxi for a living可知，“我”是出租車司機，應該“接到”叫出租車的電話。 故選：B。

【2】句意：許多司機只會喊一兩次然后開走，但我想這個乘客可能需要我的幫助。A. driver名詞，司機；B. policeman名詞，警察；C. guide名詞，向導；D. passenger名詞，乘客。根據語境可知是“乘客”之意。故選：D。

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

【4】句意：一個小老頭提著一個小袋子出現在我面前。A. carrying現在分詞，提著、拿著； B. taking現在分詞，攜帶；C. wearing現在分詞，穿著；D. fetching現在分詞，拿回。此處是現在分詞在句中作伴隨狀語，掌握基本的語法知識。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：當我們坐進出租車，他給了我一個地址，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。四個選項都是形容詞的最高級形式。 A. busiest最忙的；B. longest最長的；C. quietest最安靜的；D. shortest最短的。根據后文“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，所以應是“醫(yī)生”告訴他時日不多了。故選：C。

【9】句意：我靜靜地啟動了出租車并關閉了計程器。A. easily副詞，容易地；B. noisily副詞，吵鬧地；C. luckily副詞，幸運地；D. quietly副詞，靜靜地。聽到老人的生病不久于人世的話，作者有所觸動，因而“靜靜地”啟動車子。故選：D。
