Key:
1. C。由第三段可知,红色双层巴士是伦敦的象征,而2008年它从伦敦过来接奥运火炬更确立了它的地位,所以C项正确。A项错在are seen everywhere in London.并不是到处都能看到。第五段最后一句话“But it can still be seen on two heritage routes in the city.”是线索。B项与原文相反。D文章未涉及。
2. B。由第五段可知Routemaster20世纪50年代开始始用,2005年后被禁止使用, 原因是乘客用起来不方便,而且不环保,所以B项正确。第五段最后一句话“But it can still be seen on two heritage routes in the city.”可知D项不对。
3. D。第七段伦敦市长强调了这种新巴士是“a combination of nostalgia and the latest technology”,所以D项正确。由文章最后一句The first five new buses will be seen on the roads by early 2012.可知B项不正确。A、C两项不是伦敦市长说的话。
4. D。由倒数第二段可知,这种新巴士仍将沿用原来的老巴士的驾驶员-售票员模式,但是不会那么吵,但并不能肯定没有任何噪音,有一个特殊的站台为乘客提供传统的服务,所以D项正确。
