参考答案：C进入在线模考

由题干提示定位至文章第二段第一句。
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，题干中的rnle sacrifice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，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。
