【解析】

试题分析：本篇文章主要讲述了一个发生在公共汽车上的小故事，说明人与人之间需要交流。有时候，哪怕是一句看似简单的问好，也可以改变很多。

1.A 考查形容词。A. unwritten 不成文的；B. strict 严格的；C. bus 公共汽车；D. city 城市。根据上下文可知，这辆车上的乘客从不互相打招呼，彼此间很冷淡。但这并不是什么规则，故选择A，意为：这是一条不成文的规则，每个人都认为是理所当然的。

2.C 考查连词。A. As 因为、正如等意思；B. Because 因为；C. Although 虽然；D. When 当…时。这一分句意为：我们每天都看见相同的面孔；下一分句意为：我们情愿躲在报纸后。两者之间存在转折关系，故选择C，表示虽然见面，却不交流。

3.B 考查动词。A. read 读；B. hide 躲藏；C. talk 谈话；D. sit 坐。此题需要注意其后的behind，故选项A是错的。再根据下文意思，指彼此间不交流，故选择B，表示我们情愿躲藏在我们的报纸后面。

4.D 考查名词。A. ways 方法、道路；B. methods 方法；C. respect 尊重；D. distance 距离。根据上文可知，人们都躲在报纸后，那么说明这些人是用报纸来保持彼此间的距离。故选择D。

5.A 考查名词。A. voice 嗓音；B. warning 警告；C. suggestion 建议；D. message 信息。根据下文This is your driver speaking.可知，司机在说话。故选择A。

6.A 考查名词。A. Attention 注意；B. Minding 介意；C. Help 帮助；D. Listen 听。根据常识，一个人在对一群人说话时，为了使其他人听他说，先要说请注意。故选择A，句意为：请注意！你们的司机有话说。

7.C 考查名词。A. driver 司机；B. passengers乘客；C. papers 报纸；D. tears 眼泪。根据上一句Put your papers down. All of you.可知，司机要求他们把报纸放下。故选择C，属于原词重现。

8.C 考查介词。A. on 在…上；B. round 围绕、环绕；C. ahead向前、在前面；D. down 向下。此处需要和go构成固定短语。选项A go on，继续；选项B go round 到处走动；选项C go ahead 着手做、进行、开展；选项D go down 下降。根据句意，选择C，意为：现在就开始这样做吧。

9.B 考查副词。A. still 仍然；B. nearly 几乎；C. even 甚至；D. hardly 几乎不。根据第一段的we see the same faces every day可知，选择B，意为我几乎天天看见她。

10.C 考查动词。A. turn 转向；B. talk 说话；C. order 命令；D. remark 评论。根据上文可知，所有的乘客都听从司机的话，也就是说他们认为这是司机的命令。故选择C。

11.D 考查形容词。A. loud大声的；B. neat 整洁的；C. slow 慢的；D. weak 虚弱的。根据下文的For many of us, these were the words we had spoken that day. But we said them together可知我们的声音很虚弱。故选择D。

12.A 考查形容词。A. first第一的；B. last 最后的；C. best 最好的；D. only 唯一的。根据上文可知，声音很虚弱，以及上文的Good morning, neighbor可知这是早晨，故选择A，意为：这是我们所说的第一句话。

13.D 考查名词。A. passengers乘客；B. citizens 市民；C. patients 病人；D. schoolchildren 学童。根据上文的But we said them together可知，选择D，只有学童才会齐声说。

14.A 考查动词。A. smiling 笑；B. crying 哭；C. shouting 嚷叫；D. wondering 想知道。根据下文的many laughed可知，选择A，意为：我们情不自禁地笑出来。

15.C 考查动词。A. formed 形成；B. heated 加热；C. broken 打破；D. frozen 结冰。根据上文的There was the feeling of relief that we were not being held up.可知人们都松了一口气。故此处选择C，意为仿佛冰被打破的感觉。

16.B 考查形容词。A. sad 悲伤的；B. hard 坚硬的、艰难的；C. ordinary 普通的；D. shy 害羞的。根据下文Some of us repeated it, others shook hands可知，这样打招呼也没有想象的那么难，故选择B。

17.A 考查动词。A. need 需要；B. want 想要；C. like 喜欢；D. begin 开始。根据下文的Not a single newspaper went back up.可知现在人们现在都放下报纸。所以司机已经没有必要再说什么了。故选择A。

18.D 考查名词。A. my life 我的生活；B. other words 其它话；C. public 公众；D. No. 151 Bus 151路公交车。根据常识，此时作者在151路公交车上，故作者所谓的没有听到笑声也是指在这辆车上。所以选择D。

19.B 考查常识。A. good morning 早晨好；B. good-bye 再见；C. hello 你好；D. thanks 谢谢。根据常识可知我到达要下车的站点时，应该和我的邻座说再见。故选择B。

20.考查动词。A. starting 开始；B. seeing 看见；C. taking 拿走；D. turning 转向。此题需要注意和下文off的搭配。选项A start off 以…开始、出发；选项B see off送行；选项C take off 起飞、成功、脱下衣服等；选项D turn off 关闭。根据句意，选择A，意为：这一天比其他天有了更好的开始。
