2025年安徽专升本英语阅读理解练习题：

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(车费)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!

参考答案：

1、【精析】D根据第二段“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,在伦敦当出租车司机很不容易,不仅要有良好的驾驶技术,而且要非常了解伦敦,还要随时为不同的乘客提供服务,所以B、C两项都符合题意。故选D。

2、【精析】A根据第五段“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,出租车司机通常在晚上2点到3点间回家;他们必须努力工作挣钱,因为没有人会白给他们钱,所以C项不正确,A项正确。根据第四段“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,晚上出租车司机通常会停下来两三次去吃些小食,司机工作的时候不能喝酒,否则会被吊销执照,所以选项B、D不正确。故选A。

3、【精析】B根据第五段第二句“There are times when he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.”可知,伦敦的出租车司机为了多赚些钱,有时不得不延长工作时间,多跑几趟车。由此可推知,出租车司机跑得越多,挣得也会越多。A、C两项在文中并未提及;根据最后一段第一句可知,D项不正确。故选B。

4、【精析】C根据最后一段第二、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,伦敦数百名贫困儿童会乘出租车到海边玩一天;他们的车费由出租车司机承担,并全部投入到相关的基金会中。故选C。

5、【精析】A结合上题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,该项基金会应是针对贫困儿童的,即低收入家庭的儿童。underprivileged意为“贫穷的,底层的,在社会中处于弱势的”。A项与之意思最为接近。故选A。
