一、阅读理解(第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分).
A
A tourist comes out of the airport. There are a lot of taxis, but the tourist asks every taxidriver his name. He takes the third taxi. It costs £5 from the airport to the hotel. "How much does it cost for the whole day?" the tourist asks. "£100," says the taxidriver. This is very expensive, but the tourist accepts the price. The taxidriver takes the tourist everywhere. He shows him all the monuments and all the museums. In the evening they go back to the hotel. The tourist gives the taxidriver £100 and says, "What about tomorrow?" The taxidriver looks at the tourist. "Tomorrow? It's another £100 tomorrow." But the tourist says, "That's OK. If that's the price, that is the price. See you tomorrow." The taxidriver is very pleased.
The next day the taxidriver takes the tourist everywhere again. They visit all the museums and all the monuments again. And in the second evening they go back to the hotel. The tourist gives the taxidriver another £100 and says, "I'm going home tomorrow." The taxidriver is sorry. He likes the tourist and, above all, £100 a day is good money. "So you are going home. Where do you come from?" he asks."I come from New York."
"New York!" says the taxidriver, "I have a sister in New York. Her name is Susannah. Do you know her?""Of course I know her. She gave me £200 for you."
