(A) 

       Some people have to use public transport,some dislike it and some still love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go,there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily,trains are a good form of public transport.

       British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons,such as speed limits and traffic jams. However,when you are travelling by train,the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.

       Besides,Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly,they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (軌道) .

       What,s more,trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train,you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and powerplugs (電源插頭) for personal computers or mobile phones.

五、完形填空(10%)

        Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You only need to 1 the bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go.

        But to a London taxi driver,driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good 2 of the city of London,from the 3 street to the most popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service (服務(wù)) of all kinds of passengers (乘客) at all times.

        A London taxi driver said the following about his job.

        During the night it is 4 for him to stop two or three times for some food. He said, “I never 5 when I'm working,otherwise,I'd lose my license (駕駛執(zhí)照) .”

        He usually goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay 6 and try to make more runs. He said, “That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make money,no one is going to 7 it to you."

       London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of poor 8 from London go for a day at the sea —by taxi!Their rides are 9 by the taxi drivers. At the sea,they are met by the mayor (市長) ，and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day’s running around the 10 and visiting the market there,the children go home again by taxi,free of charge of course!
