15.He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention."Is your cab available(可用的)?"I asked when he finally looked up at me.He nodded,then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat,"I'm sorry,but I was reading a letter."He sounded as if he had a cold."I am not in a hurry,"I told him."Go ahead and finish your letter."He shook his head."I've read it several times already.I guess I almost know it by heart.""Letters from home always mean a lot"I said.
"This isn't family,"he replied."although it might just as well have been family.Old Ed was my oldest friend.In fact,we used to call each other‘Old Friend'-when we'd meet.I'm not much good at writing."
"I don't think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,"I said."I know I don't,but I take it he's someone you've known quite a while?""All my life.We were kids together,went to school together and all the way through high school.""There are not too many people who've had such a long friendship,"I said."Actually,"the driver went on,"I hadn't seen him more than once or twice year over the past 25or 30years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget."
"You said‘was'.Does that mean---?"he nodded."A couple of weeks ago.""I'm sorry"He didn't say anything more,and we rode on in silence for a few minutes.But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again,almost more to himself than to me.""I should have kept in touch with him.""Well,''I agreed,"we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do.But things come up and we just don't seem to find the time."

解答 46-50BABCB
46 B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第一 段,"I'm sorry,but I was reading a letter."可知司機(jī)正在讀一封信,而沒有注意到作者,故選B.
47 A 猜測詞義題. 根據(jù)文章第一 段we used to call each other‘Old Friend'-when we'd meet.I'm not much good at writing."可知司機(jī)經(jīng)常和他的朋友打電話,通信,故選A.
48 B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二 段There are not too many people who've had such a long friendship 可知可知作者理解司機(jī)的感受,保持這么長的友誼的人不多,故選B.作者知道所發(fā)生的事,司機(jī)搬家,并且非常在乎他的朋友,故ACD是錯誤的.
49 C 推斷題. 根據(jù)文章第二 段."A couple of weeks ago.""I'm sorry"可知作者說了抱歉,說明幾周前司機(jī)的朋友去世了.故選C.
50 B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二 段things come up and we just don't seem to find the time."可知我們看起來好像沒有時間去和朋友們聯(lián)系,因此作者在到達(dá)酒店后給朋友寫信并寄出去了,故選B.
