C

细节题。录音提到“learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs”，即在学习驾驶时，没有薪水，故需要“keep previous jobs”。所以答案为C。
【录音原文】
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 London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get 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 experience. The officers ask 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.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
2. How long does the training period last?
3. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
4. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere
in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and
the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you
how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks
pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before
buying a CD.The word"touch" in paragraph 7 could be best replaced by
A:"deposit".
B:"work".
C:"use".
D:"cash".答案：C解析： -
