　　英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽(tīng)力材料
　　London taxi drivers know the capital like the back oftheir hands. No matter how small and indistinct thestreet is, the driver will be able to get you therewithout any trouble. The reason London taxi driversare so efficient is that [32]they have all gonethrough a very tough training period to get a specialtaxi driving license. [33]During this period, whichcan take from two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route toevery single road and to every important building in London.
　　To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes, practicing how to moveto and from different points of the city. [34]Learner taxi drivers are tested several times duringtheir training period by government officers. Their exams are a terrible experience. The officersask you, "How do you get from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London?" And you have totake them there in a direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "Well done"; theywill quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions they will just say "see youin two months' time" and then you know the exam is over. [35]Learner drivers are not allowedto work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs untilthey have obtained their license. The training can cost quite a lot because learners have to payfor their own expenses on the tests and a medical exam.
　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　32. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
　　正確答案：B
　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)為什么倫敦的出租車司機(jī)效率非常高。關(guān)鍵是要聽(tīng)到“倫敦的出租車司機(jī)效率非常高是因?yàn)樵讷@得專門(mén)的出租車駕駛執(zhí)照之前，他們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)一段十分艱苦的訓(xùn)練時(shí)期。”也就是說(shuō)接受過(guò)特殊訓(xùn)練，即B。因?yàn)橛旭{照所以工作效率就高，A本身就不符合常理，故不正確;選項(xiàng)C、D的內(nèi)容文中均未提及。
　　33. How long does the training period last?
　　正確答案：D
　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)訓(xùn)練期有多長(zhǎng)。關(guān)鍵是要聽(tīng)到“這段訓(xùn)練時(shí)期，時(shí)間從兩年到四年不等，……”故答案為D。符合“同義替換”的原則。選項(xiàng)A具有一定的干擾性，若未注意到months這個(gè)時(shí)間單位的錯(cuò)誤，則可能誤選A。
　　34. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
　　正確答案：B
　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)為什么作者認(rèn)為駕駛考試是一場(chǎng)可怕的經(jīng)歷。關(guān)鍵是要聽(tīng)到“駕駛考試是一場(chǎng)可怕的經(jīng)歷”之前的那句話：實(shí)習(xí)出租車司機(jī)在訓(xùn)練期內(nèi)要參加好幾次由政府官員主持的考試。選項(xiàng)B與其同義，故正確。選項(xiàng)A、C、D的內(nèi)容文中均未提及。
　　35. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?
　　正確答案：C
　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)為什么實(shí)習(xí)出租車司機(jī)必須保有他們目前的工作。關(guān)鍵是要聽(tīng)到“不允許實(shí)習(xí)出租車司機(jī)以司機(jī)身份工作賺錢(qián)�！奔碈。A、D兩項(xiàng)文中未提及;文中說(shuō)實(shí)習(xí)出租車司機(jī)不能以司機(jī)身份賺錢(qián)，所以他們不可能從兩份工作中同時(shí)賺錢(qián)，故B錯(cuò)誤。
