London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small and indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they have all gone through a very tough training period to get a special taxi driving license. During this period which can take from two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes, practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during their training period by government officers. Their exams are a terrible experience. The officers ask you, "How do you get from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London?" And you have to take them there in a direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say "Well done"; they will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions they will just say "see you in two months’ time" and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained their license. The training can cost quite a lot because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and a medical exam.
22. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
23. How long does the training period last?
24. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
25. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?
选项
A、They don’t want their present bosses to know what they’re doing.
B、They want to earn money from both jobs.
C、They cannot earn money as taxi drivers yet.
D、They look forward to further promotion.
答案
C
解析
题目询问为什么实习出租车司机必须保有他们目前的工作。关键是要听到“不允许实习出租车司机以司机身份工作赚钱。”即C。A、D两项文中未提及;文中说实习出租车司机不能以司机身份赚钱,所以他们不可能从两份工作中同时赚钱,故B错误。
