听力原文: London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason why London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get a special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take 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 the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experiences. The officer asks you "How do you get from Birmingham Palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the 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 the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
A.Because they have a driving license.
B.Because they have received special training.
C.Because the traffic conditions in London are good.
D.Because the traffic system of the city is not very complex.

听力原文:Reception: Good morning. Can I help you?
Montse: Yes. Could you tell me the best way to get into the center of London, please?
Reception: Well, there is a courtesy bus, which leaves every 20 minutes during the rush hour, or the river taxi service to London Bridge.
Montse: And when is the rush hour?
Reception: It's between seven and nine in the morning and five and seven in the evening.
Moatse: And after nine in the morning?
Reception: After nine the courtesy bus service runs every 40 minutes.
Montse: Ahha. And how long does it take?
Reception: The bus takes about 15 minutes, depending on the traffic.
Montse: And which way does it go?
Reception: Here, I'll show you on the map. From the hotel it goes along the river bank and then on to Brunel Road. It crosses the fiver at Tower Bridge and then stops just after Tower Bridge at Tower Hill Underground Station.
Montse: And what about the fiver taxi, does that change after rush hour?
Reception: Yes, it's a half hourly service during rush hour and after that it runs to a timetable. It takes about 15 minutes. It's a really nice trip. You go across to Canary Wharf Pier first, then you go along the river, under Tower Bridge and you stop at a pier just before London Bridge. The only thing is, it costs £1.80 each way.
Mortise: OK. Thanks very much.
Reception: You're welcome. Bye.
