2025年安徽專升本英語閱讀理解練習題：

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 they 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(小巷)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 talked of his job as follows.

During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments(小食).He said,“I never drink when I'm working—I would lose my licence.”

He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o'clock in the night.There are times when 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 poor children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi!Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers,and these fares(車費)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 honour 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!

參考答案：

1、【精析】D根據第二段“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....He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.”可知,在倫敦當出租車司機很不容易,不僅要有良好的駕駛技術,而且要非常了解倫敦,還要隨時為不同的乘客提供服務,所以B、C兩項都符合題意。故選D。

2、【精析】A根據第五段“He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night....‘That's...If you don’t make the money,no one is going to give it to you.’”可知,出租車司機通常在晚上2點到3點間回家;他們必須努力工作掙錢,因為沒有人會白給他們錢,所以C項不正確,A項正確。根據第四段“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 working—I would lose my licence.’”可知,晚上出租車司機通常會停下來兩三次去吃些小食,司機工作的時候不能喝酒,否則會被吊銷執照,所以選項B、D不正確。故選A。

3、【精析】B根據第五段第二句“There are times when he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.”可知,倫敦的出租車司機為了多賺些錢,有時不得不延長工作時間,多跑幾趟車。由此可推知,出租車司機跑得越多,掙得也會越多。A、C兩項在文中并未提及;根據最后一段第一句可知,D項不正確。故選B。

4、【精析】C根據最后一段第二、三句“Every summer,hundreds of poor children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi!Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers....”可知,每年夏天,倫敦數百名貧困兒童會乘出租車到海邊玩一天;他們的車費由出租車司機承擔,并全部投入到相關的基金會中。故選C。

5、【精析】A結合上題解析和最后一段第二句“...hundreds of poor children from London will go for a day at the sea...”可知,該項基金會應是針對貧困兒童的,即低收入家庭的兒童。underprivileged意為“貧窮的,底層的,在社會中處于弱勢的”。A項與之意思最為接近。故選A。
