解析

试题分析：句意：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美元是司机的姐姐请他交给这位司机的。
小题1:考查名词及语境理解。句意：有很多出租车。trains 火车；.boats 船；taxis出租车。由下一句中的taxi-driver可知，选C。
小题2:考查动词及语境理解。句意：从机场到酒店他花了5元钱。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。
小题3:考查疑问短语及语境理解。句意：“租车整整一天多少钱呢？How many 多少；How long多久； How much多少。询问价钱应用how much。
小题4:考查名词及语境理解。句意：这是非常贵的。从短文第二段第二行中，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)。
小题5:考查副词词及语境理解。句意：到了晚上，他们又回到酒店。for 为； back返回；across经过。回到某地go back to sp.。所以选B、
小题6:考查动词短语及语境理解。句意：出租车司机看着这个人说。Look at看着，look after照顾，look for寻找。句意为“司机看着这位男子说”。所以选A。
小题7:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：明天又是100块钱。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，别的所以选B。
小题8:考查形容词及语境理解。句意：出租车司机很高兴得到更多的钱。angry 发怒的；unhappy不愉快的；pleased高兴的。出租车司机又能多挣100美元，心里应当是愉悦的(pleased)。所以选C。
小题9:考查动词及语境理解。句意：出租车司机得到另外100美元，他感到很内疚。Received得到，收到，gave给予，borrowed借。句意为司机得到了200美元，故选择A。
小题10:考查名词及语境理解。句意：我有一个姐姐在纽约。她的名字是苏珊。Brother兄，弟；son 儿子； sister姐，妹。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。所以选C。
