In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police.Most people generally 36 them and the job they do – although there are certain people who do not believe that the police 37 have the power that do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not 38 job to describe.After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in 39 .A policeman often has to control traffic, either 40 foot in the center of a town, or in a police car on the roads.Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time 41 up and down main roads and motorways.A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop 42 motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the 43 , too.If there is a fight or some other disturbance, we 44 the police to come and restore order.And they often have to 45 situation at great risk to their own 46 .
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, 47 he is not a detective (侦探), will often have to help 48 and arrest criminals.
And 49 do we call when there is an emergency – an air crash, a 50 , a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. 51 a policeman has to be 52 to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the 53 world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it 54 well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen, I do not think that I could 55 do the job of a policeman.

36.答案:C 解析:根据下文作者的观点可以排除A、B项,作者非常―欣赏‖警察的工作,而不是―羡慕‖。
37.答案:A 解析:should此处的意思是―应该‖,此句的意思是―有一些人认为警察不应该有他们所拥有的权力‖。 38.答案:D 解析:根据下文的描述,警察的工作种类很多,又充满危险,所以选an easy。
39.答案:B 解析:根据下文的叙述,警察要做的工作有很多,所以― a number of jobs in one‖。 这里的jobs的意思是―pieces of work, tasks(多种工作,任务)‖。
40.答案:A 解析:此处―on foot‖为固定词组。
41.答案:B 解析:在motorway上不能步行,只能开车,所以要用driving。
42.答案:C 解析:此处―speeding motorists‖指的是超速行驶的机动车辆。选项―drunken‖的意思是―喝醉酒的‖,
7
警察不可能一下子就判断出来哪个司机是喝醉酒的。
43.答案:A 解析:下文―there is a fight‖告诉我们,警察的任务是要维护和平。
44.答案:D 解析:此题考察动词及词组的意义。 wait for 意思是―等待某人‖;call意思是―打电话‖; expect somebody to do something表示―期待某人做某事‖;think of意思是―想起,想到‖。D项最符合文中的意思―一旦有打架或者骚乱,人们就期待警察出现并维护秩序。‖
45.答案:C 解析:面对的情况是需要处理的,所以选择词组deal with;动词treat的意思是―对待、治疗‖。 46.答案:A 解析:警察在工作时会有危险,对他们的安全造成威胁。所以此处选safety。
47.答案:D 解析:这里的―although、 even if‖都可以引导让步状语从句,但是even if是一种不是事实的假设,而although与主句的关系为转折,此处警察不是侦探,所以选even if。
48.答案:C 解析:此题考察词组的意义区别。look for表示―寻找‖;get rid of表示―摆脱,除掉‖;question意思是―质问‖;sentence作为动词意思是―判处,宣判‖。此处的意思是―警察寻找并追捕犯罪分子。
49.答案:D 解析:根据下文的―we call the police‖,选择疑问词who,指人。 50.答案:B 解析:根据前文的emergency(紧急情况),可以看出只有选项a fire(火灾)属于―紧急情况‖。 51.答案:D 解析:由前文可以知道,当我们面对紧急情况时总是会找警察,所以按照意思顺下来,就应该用so表示―因此,结果 …‖。
52.答案:C 解析:根据上文,面对emergency,警察随时随地都要―prepared‖。另外,要注意词组―be prepared do to something‖。
53.答案:B 解析:in the modern world:在现代社会里。
54.答案:A 解析:―extremely‖在此处意思是―非常,极端‖,此处是赞扬警察的工作非常好。
55.答案:C 解析:本句的否定前移了。当主句主语为第一人称、动词为think等词时,常用此否定前移结构,翻译成汉语应该是―我认为我不 …‖。A、D项都是否定词,与not构成双重否定,意思不对;forever不合此语境。

My first job was in what they call the city center.The 36 was large, dark and old 37 the physics lecture room was on the second floor. 38 , it wasn‘t a lecture room at all, it was an ordinary room, but it had ―LECTURE ROOM‖ on the 39 .The students were sixteen or seventeen years old, 40 several years younger than me. 41 , some of them looked and acted 42 older than me sometimes.
The room was directly 43 the street, and had the window looking out over the street and many houses.One day, I was 44 some work on the blackboard when I heard a sudden change in the noise behind me.There was a man standing in the room with 45 an apple in his hand.He looked 46 .
―Who threw this?‖ he asked, looking round the class.
―I beg your pardon?‖ I said.Was this the school inspector(督学)? 47 threw this apple out of the window,‖ he said.―It 48 on my car.‖
―Who threw an apple out of the window?‖ I 49 to the class.There was no answer. ―I 50 the fellow who threw this.‖ said the man.―I 51 outside for you.‖ And then he left, slamming the door.
52 was silence and I continued with the lesson.At the end of every lesson, a bell rang, usually the class were all 53 before it finished ringing, leaving me saying ―That‘s all for today‖ to an empty 54 .
This time, when the bell went for the end of the lesson, no one 55 .―That‘s all for today,‖ I said. ―You go first, sir.‖ said one of the boys.It made a nice change, being first out. 36.A.room B.building C.floor D.city 37.A.and B.as C.so D.but 38.A.Happily B.Luckily C.Properly D.Actually 39.A.floor B.ground C.door D.window 40.A.over B.only C.up D.almost 41.A.In fact B.In the end C.After all D.As a result

36.答案:B 解析:从下文的―课室在二楼―可以知道,此处的building就是有―课室‖的那一座。 37.答案:A 解析:此处的and连接两个并列的句子,old前的and连接并列的形容词。
38.答案:D 解析:从下文可以看出,这个课室不象课室,只是个普通房间,但牌子上的内容是―课室‖。 39.答案:C 解析:一般的规则,牌子应该挂在门口那个位置。
40.答案:B 解析:根据下文可知,这些学生的年龄比老师小不了多少,用actually表示―事实上、实际上‖。 41.答案:A 解析:与上句呼应,说明老师与学生年龄差距不大,有时候学生的长相和行为显得比老师都要大。 42.答案:D 解析:这是根据上文发展来的一种关系,表示一种递进的语气,意思是―甚至 … ‖。
43.答案:B 解析:从下文的― looking out over the street and many houses‖ 、‖threw the apple‖可知,这间课室不是在街道里,而是在街道之上,―比街道的位置要高‖,所以―苹果才会扔下去,打在车上‖。
44.答案:D 解析:此处的词组―put some work‖表示―布置一些作业‖。
45.答案:C 解析:这是根据事件发生的情形推断出来的答案,苹果吃了一半后扔出去了,其它选项意义上都不通。
46.答案:A 解析:这种―生气‖的心情是很自然的,因为把苹果扔到了车上。
47.答案:D 解析:此处选someone表示―有人(某个人,但不知是哪一个)把苹果扔到车上了‖。A、B两项意义不通;C项是疑问语气。
48.答案:C 解析:A项的hit为及物动词,后不用介词;B项指某人或者某物自然地―倒下‖或者―落下‖。D项意义不通。
49.答案:B 解析:固定用法,此处的意思是―对着某人说话‖,不是―与某人交谈(talk to)‖。 50.答案:D 解析:此处的want意思是―要找到 … ‖。
51.答案:A 解析:此句的意思是―我会在门外等着你(找到那个扔苹果的人)‖。 52.答案:B 解析:此题选用―There be‖句型来表示一种存在的状况。 53.答案:C 解析:此题的―be gone‖= disappear,意思是―消失了‖。
54.答案:C 解析:根据上句,学生已经都跑了,所以是对着空空的房间说―下课‖。 55.答案:D 解析:本句说的是与平时相比的反常现象,―没有一个人敢动‖。
