北邮英语二阶段2作业

一、阅读理解〔共1道小题，共25.0分〕

1. Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the

bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.

But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times. A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.

During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments. He said, “I never drink when I’m driving―I would lose my license.〞

He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning. There are other times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “That’s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don’t make the money, no one is going to give it to you.〞

London taxi drivers not only “take〞 but also “give〞. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea―by taxi. Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the “London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children〞. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again---by taxi, and free of charge, of course.

得分：[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]

提示：[1]D.细节题。此题问“要想成为一名伦敦出租车司机并不容易，因为______。〞中心词是“to be a London taxi driver〞。答案在第二段，该段大意是“但是对一名伦敦的出租车司来说，开车并不是一件容易的事。伦敦的出租车司机不仅要有非常高超的驾驶技术，还要对伦敦了如指掌，不管是最小的胡同还是最受欢送的酒吧他都要知道。他也要时刻准备着为各种各样的乘客效劳〞。据此，可知答案是D。A的意思是“他得按照明亮的交通标志来行驶。〞

[2]A.细节题。此题问“伦敦出租车司机_______。〞A的意思是“伦敦出租车司机要努力工作，因为如果他们不工作，是没有人给他们经济支持的。〞B的意思是“伦敦出租车司机一直在开车。〞C的意思是“伦敦出租车司机只在夜里的两、三点钟之间工作。〞D的意思是“伦敦出租车司机很富裕。〞A的中心词是“money〞，答案在第五段的最后一句，该句大意是“如果你不挣钱，是没有人会给你钱的〞。据此可知A就是我们的正确答案。

[3]B.是非题。此题问“本文的作者告诉我们________。〞这种题目其实就是让我们判断四个选项中哪个说法是正确的。我们先来浏览选项。A的意思是“那名出租词司机工作的时间过长。〞B的意思是“那名司机出车次数越多，他的收入就越多。〞C的意思是“那名司机不喜欢为别人工作。〞D的意思是“伦敦的出租车司机不仅拿别人的钱，也给别人钱。〞文章中没有找到A的意思。B的中心词是“runs〞，答案在第五段的第二句，该句大意是“有些时候他不得不多熬夜为的就是多拉活。〞据此可知B是正确的。

[4]C.细节题。此题问“伦敦出租车司机________。〞但是题干信息缺乏，所以我们首先得浏览选项。A的意思是“他们要赚钱，因为他们必须要负担孩子们的旅费〞，B的意思是“夏天会在海边度一天假〞，C的意思是“每年负担贫困家庭的孩子到海边度一天假的旅费〞，D的意思是“免费开车送贫困家庭的孩子去海边度一天假〞。答案就在最后一段的第三句，该句大意是“孩子们乘车的费用由出租车司机们来支付。这些车费都捐给了伦敦出租车司机协会的贫困儿童基金〞。据此可知C是正确的。

[5]A.词汇题。此题问“最后一段中的‘Underprivileged Children’指的是________孩子。〞从上面第四题的解释中我们可以看出这些孩子度假的车费都是由出租车司机们支付的，可见他们的家庭收入应该不高，而且出租车司机协会还特地为这些孩子办了一个基金。所以，答案是A〔低收入家庭的孩子〕。B的意思是“喜欢乘坐出租车旅行的孩子〞，C的意思是“希望到海边玩，但是又没有钱的孩子〞，D的意思是“伦敦的孩子〞。注意，这里不要选择C，因为出租车司机协会不可能为这样的孩子设立基金的。
