第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time in the middle of the night, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It‟s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I don‟t mind,” she said. “I‟m in no hurry. I‟m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don‟t have any family left. The doctor says I don‟t have very long.”
I quietly shut off the meter(里程表). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, She asked me to go to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.
“Nothing,” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered.
“There are other passengers.”
“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly（漫无目的地）, lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run?
( )16. What did the woman want to do that night?
A. She wanted to take a taxi.
B. She wanted to see her husband.
C. She wanted to go through the city.
D. She wanted to talk with the driver.
( )17. How long did the journey take?
A. About one hour.
B. About two hours.
C. About three hours.
D. About four hours.
( )18. How did the old woman feel in the end, according to the story?
