Question

One day I got in a taxi，and we left for the airport．We were driving in the right lane （车道） when，suddenly，a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver stopped his car at once．The tire （轮胎） made a very loud noise，and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the black of the other car．
I was frightened．But then I couldn't believe what happened next．The driver of the other car，the guy who almost caused a big accident，turned his head and started yelling（吼叫） at us．I couldn't believe it!But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy．So I asked，"Why did you just do that？This guy almost sent us to hospital．"
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call"The Law of the Rubbish Truck （垃圾车法则）．"He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks．They run around full of rubbish，full of anger and full of bad feelings．As their rubbish piles up，they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you．Don't take it personally．Just smile，wish them well，and move on．Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work，at home or on the streets．
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods （情绪）．Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets，so love those who love you and pray（祈祷） for those who don't．

Answer 1

56．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段：One day I got in a taxi，and we left for the airport．可知作者是去机场，所以此题应该是作者在去机场的路上发生了一起事故，故选D．
57．C．推理判断题．根据文章第三段：He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks．They run around full of rubbish，full of anger and full of bad feelings．As their rubbish piles up，they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you．可知喜欢生气的人们就像垃圾车，把不愉快的心情发泄到别人身上．故选C．
58．B．推理判断题．根据文章第二段：But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy．So I asked，"Why did you just do that？This guy almost sent us to hospital．"以及文章第三段：He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks．They run around full of rubbish，full of anger and full of bad feelings．As their rubbish piles up，they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you．可知出租车司机面对小车司机的怒火只是微笑，不受别人的情绪的影响，不把坏的情绪继续传承下去．所以他很聪明，很友好．故选B．
59．D．词义猜测题．根据文章上文：The tire （轮胎） made a very loud noise，and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the black of the other car．可知是差点是发生了交通事故，因此我受到惊吓．故选D．
60．C．主旨大意题．根据文章第三段：He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks．They run around full of rubbish，full of anger and full of bad feelings．As their rubbish piles up，they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you．可知喜欢生气的人们就像垃圾车，把不愉快的心情发泄到别人身上．这里把容易发怒的人比做垃圾车，作者认为不要把别人的怒气传递下去，不要让别人的怒火影响我们的心情．故选C．
