单选题
According to the passage, "The sacrifice" (Line 1, Para．2) refers to

A．the expense to spend luxurious holidays in Spain
B．the waste of time to remember London streets
C．the efforts to grasp the transportation knowledge
D．the hardship of living as a London taxi driver

参考答案C

解析:
定位：由题干提示定位至文章第二段第一句：The sacrifice used to be worth it．
详解：语义理解题。定位句指出，这种牺牲在过去是值得的，再结合首段最后一句可知，司机们要掌握大量的伦敦交通信息，通常需要花费两到四年的时间，可见，题于中的The sacIifice是指“司机们掌握交通知识所付出的努力”，故答案为C.。A.“在西班牙奢华度假的花费”，第二段第二句提到，过去司机们可以在西班牙别墅里度假，但这是作为牺牲的回报，因此该项可排除；B.“记住伦敦街道所浪费的时间”，第二段第四句指出，在卫星定位的年代背诵行车路线是在浪费每个人的时间，这是作者对司机所付出牺牲的评价，也不是The sacrifice本身，故排除；D.“在伦敦开出租车谋生的艰辛”，第二段第二句指出，虽然身为出租车司机谋生很艰苦，但还是可以享受到假期等，可见，这不是The sacrifice的内容，故排除。
