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 start. When you’re learning, someone with full license always has to be in the car with you. 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 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(如果) you like, if you’re healthy. 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 from1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1978, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
51. Which of the following is NOT necessary for a young man who wants to drive a car alone?
A. He has to pass a driving test to get a full license.
B. He has to learn to drive in a driving school.
C. He has to get a special two-year driving license.

A. is good at driving B. has a driving school C. has a full license and a teacher’s license
53. In the driving test, one __________.
A. must drive his own car B. has to do some test papers
C. is usually asked to drive on roads for half an hour
54. The car drivers began to take a driving test in ________.
A. 1878 B. 1904 C. 1935

A. Britain Car Drivers B. Young Men’s Driving Licenses

第四节 阅读下列材料，然后根据材料内容回答所提问题。
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying, "You don't say!" I was puzzled(迷惑的), and I thought, "Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?"
"Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!" "Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit." As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, "You don't say!"
I couldn't help asking ,"Why do you ask me not to talk about it?"
"Well, I didn't ask you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised.
"Didn't you say 'you don't say!'?" I asked again.
Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, "'You don't say!' means 'Really?'. Perhaps you know little about English idiom（习语）."
Wow, how foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.
61. Has the Englishman ever been to the Great Wall?

62. What did the foreigner mean when he used the idiom "You don't say!"?

63. Why have people of many countries come to visit the Great Wall?

64. Did the story probably happen in China or England?
