Question

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.

Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

试题分析：这篇文章讲的是在英国，你满17岁了就可以考驾照了，并讲述了一些学习驾驶的问题。如果你没有通过考试，你几周之后就可以再考了，直到你考上，而且对年龄也没有限制。最后说了一下在英国历史上的一些驾驶规则。

1.细节题。根据第一段When you’re learning,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.当你学开车时，有正式执照的人必须和你一起在车上，因为你不被允许独自开车上路。你不必去驾驶学校学习——一个朋友能教你，教你的人不允许收学费，除非他有教师证。故选C

2.细节题。根据文章You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions.你可以用你自己的车参加考试，但是它必须适合道路，在考试中，你必须开着车转差不多半个小时，然后回答几个问题。故选B

3.细节题。根据文章If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to.如果你没有通过考试，几周之后你就可以再次参加考试。故选C

4.细节判断题。根据文章Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.英国最老的司机是一个100岁的男人，在1974年。可知，英国对老年人司机的没有年龄限制。故A正确。In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons!1970年，一个女人在212驾驶课程之后通过了她的第四十次考试。可知，B正确。On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour,在1878年之前，早起的开车过程中，小车速度不许超过4英里每小时。可知，C正确。Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935.自从1904年，小车司机必须持有驾驶证，但是没有要考试。故D错误。所以，本题选D

5.主旨题。这篇文章主要讲的是英国的驾驶证的有关问题。故本文的标题可为英国的驾驶证。故选A
