【主旨大意】短文讲述了一则荒诞幽默的故事。一个人花200美元雇一辆出租车在城市中游览了两天，最后付款时却告诉司机这200美元是司机的妹妹请他交给这位司机的。
36.C由下一句中的taxi-driver可知，选C。
37.A动词辨析。spend主语通常是人，是指人花费、付出时间或金钱，常用句式sb spend time/money on sth, sb spend time/money (in) doing sth.。Cost主语通常是事物，指事物花费、消耗人的金钱，常用句式(doing/to do) sth cost sb money, it cost sb money to do sth。Pay通常指付款，常用句式sb pay money for sth。故选择A。
38.C询问价钱应用how much。
39.C100美元的价格很高，从短文第二段第三行中，he felt guilty(有罪的)because 100 dollars a day was a lot of money亦可知应选择C。cheap便宜，low低(low price)，dear昂贵(同expensive)。
40.B回到某地go back to sp.。
41.A短语辨析。Look at看着，look after照顾，look for寻找。句意为“司机看着这位男子说”。
42.B词语辨析。The other指两者当中的另一个，another指额外另外的、除……之外的、超过两者中的任意另一个，other指其他的，别的。
43.C推测理解。出租车司机又能多挣100美元，心里应当是愉悦的(pleased)。
44.A Received得到收到，gave给予，borrowed借得。句意为司机得到了200美元，故选择A。
45.C细节理解。由后面‘Her name is Susan’知此处指的是一个女性，而brother和son均是男性。
