Answer 1

本文是一篇介紹倫敦出租車司機的文章。

1. C第一句講的是在公路上行駛，那么我們就應該尋找與"公路"有聯系的選項。

2. D后文說在倫敦駕駛不易，那么很容易能選擇D項。

3. F 下文是該司機對于其工作的陳述，故選F

項。

4. E后文"There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.'，說的是營運時間，所以得出選項E正確。

5. A根據"the children go home again—by taxi,and free of charge,of course！”可知，倫敦出租車司機還會有時無償提供服務，所以A是正確選項。
