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、Government officers are hard to please.
B、The learner has to go through several tough tests.
C、The learner usually fails several times before he passes it.
D、The driving test usually lasts two months.
答案
B
解析
题目询问为什么作者认为驾驶考试是一场可怕的经历。关键是要听到“驾驶考试是一场可怕的经历”之前的那句话:实习出租车司机在训练期内要参加好几次由政府官员主持的考试。选项B与其同义,故正确。选项A、C、D的内容文中均未提及。
