答案与解析：
（一）
本文是个幽默故事。讲述一个人说另一个人每天早上重复做同一件事，这样生活单调，其实自己也一样。
1. D 表示回家是e home与前面的去上班go to work相对。
2. C 表示看书看报用read。
3. B 由文末I’m sitting in the same seat behind you可知。
4. C 从下文可知是向他召呼问好，所以是say “Hello” to him。
5. D 打了召呼后自然就会开始（began） 谈起话来。
6. A 在同一时间、同一个车站、乘同一个火车，这是种单是调泛味的生活 （life）。而不是这工作，也不是办公，更不是指小孩。
7. B 指每天早上都是如此，才会说单调泛味。
8. A 史密斯先生听到（heard） 这些话。listen指有意识在“听”，强调动作，后接宾语时要加to;hear指听的结果“听到”。
9. B say to sb对某人说。虽然后面是一个问句，但表示问某人时ask后不用to，而直接说ask sb。
10. C 因为对史密斯先生如此了解，当然是“总”总在他的后面了。
（二）
1. A 由下文可知他们吵架是在旅途期间。
2. C 表示两者中的另一个用the other。
3. B 前后是转折关系：他虽然受了伤但是他什么也没说。

本文讲述的是一个的年轻军官因妄自尊大而适得其反的故事。
1. C 不是特指时的“另一个”用another;而the other特指的两者中的“另一个”。
2. B 表示打电话的目的，引导目的状语从句用so that（为了、以便）。
3. B 是坐火车去，母亲来接当然是在火车站。
4. C 在检查衣袋后“发现”没零钱。find“发现”;find out通过调查、询问等这后“弄明白、搞清楚”。
5. C look around表示“向……的四周看、环顾四周”
6. C 表示“为……”用介词for。
7. A 显然是对那位young officer的回答。

9. A 根据后文可知是重新开始，所以用start。因前面的let’s，不用ask。
