A

In Britain, the number of young people learning to drive has fallen by over 250,000 since 2005/06. There are several reasons for this, including the terrible financial performance. With prices, university fees and unemployment rising, young people are watching what they spend. Taking driving test and running a car is often considered too expensive. However, for those who decide to learn, here’s what is involved… A:

Be 17 or more than;

Hold a legal, ID license;

Have a taxed and roadworthy car;

Display learner or “L” plates;

Have a qualified teacher who is 21 or over and has held a full driving license for at least three years.

Theory Test

This first test includes multiple choice questions on the rules of the road (The Highway Code), on traffic signs and potential road danger. It also involves an awareness test of road potential danger.

Practical Test

Pre-driving

Candidates must pass an eyesight test. This refers to reading the number plate of a parked car from at least 20 meters away. They have to answer two safety questions, first showing the examiner, and then telling the examiner how they would carry out a safety check—for example, how to check tire pressure.

While-driving

The examiner tests the ability to drive safely on different kinds of roads and in different traffic conditions. The test includes making an emergency stop, reversing (倒车) safely and driving independently, without be
ing given directions, for at least 10 minutes.

Post-driving

Candidates who pass get a full driving license and are given a training period for two years. If they earn six or more penalty (处罚) on their driving licenses, they lose it and have to start all over again.

Soccer is the most popular athletic event in the world, especially in the UK. It wouldn’t take long for anyone visiting the country to realize how deeply into our culture it has become.

It surely goes beyond the 90 minutes played on the playground. Many fans are addicted to their teams and refuse to miss a single match, whether they’re attending the match live, or just watching it on TV. Soccer is typically a man-oriented sport, but my grandmother has always be
en a crazy fan and could probably outdo most men when it comes to soccer knowledge.

When I was little, she would take me to many matches on the weekends. She’s a supporter of her hometown team of Norwich and used to have season tickets. I remember how crazy she was cheering for her favorite team, and even now she refuses to miss a single game on the TV.

My friends often talk about their favorite soccer teams. When I first began my time at high school, many kids asked who my favorite players and my ideal team would be.

This is not unusual, and discussing sports is a very common way for people to make new friends.

However, there’s also a lot of conflicts between supporters and unluckily the soccer culture in the UK can some
times be a negative one. Conflicts between teams is huge and some fans can be aggressive both during and outside of matches. The rest of the time, however, it’s a sport that is celebrated national, bringing people and young generations together.

35. What can we infer from the example of “my grandmother--a crazy fan”?

A. Soccer is the most popular event in the world.

B. Soccer is deeply rooted in the UK culture.

C. Soccer can bring people and young generations together.

D. Soccer has attracted the author's family.

36. The following statements are true EXCEPT .

A. You are excepted to know about the team performance of you favorite team.

B. It won’t be long before visitors understand our soccer culture.

C. A lot of conflicts between different soccer supporters in the UK are negative all the time.

D. If you are not a soccer fan, you’d better learn more soccer knowledge to be one.
