【文章大意】 本文介绍英国警察的工作特点:
繁琐而重要。
1.A.should B.would
C.couldD.must
解析:
选A。
should指应该,此处译为“一些人认为警察不应该有他们有的权力”。
2.A.itB.one
C.hisD.them
解析:
选B。
由下文可知,一个警察要做很多工作,应为“anumberofjobsinone”。
3.A.walkingB.driving
C.wanderingD.searching
解析:
选B。
在motorway上不能步行,只能行车,所以选driving。
4.A.peaceB.silence
C.situationD.condition
解析:
选A。
下文说“thereisafight”可知上文要警察维护和平。
5.A.turntoB.avoid
C.dealwithD.treat
解析:
选C。
警察面对情况是要处理的,所以要用dealwith;treat是对待、治疗的意思。
6.A.althoughB.asif
C.howeverD.evenif
解析:
选D。
although与evenif都有“虽然……但是”之意,但evenif有强调之意,此处强调警察的作用。
7.A.howB.where
C.whatD.who
解析:
选D。
此处问“当一个紧急情况发生时,我们将召唤谁”,选疑问代词who。
8.A.YetB.Then
C.AsD.So
解析:
选D。
由上文可知我们面对紧急情况总是找警察,顺承下来用so表结果是。
9.A.futureB.modern
C.realD.whole
答案:
B
10.A.hardlyB.forever
C.everD.never
解析:
选C。
这句话否定前移,应为“IthinkthatIcouldnot....”A、D都是否定之意,双重否定表肯定,故排除,forever不合语境。
