Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV ― if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops (policemen) don’t think much of them.

       The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round (以……为中心) the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley (小巷) after someone he wants to talk to.

       Little of his time is spent in chatting to charming ladies or in dramatic confrontations (对抗) with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty ― or not ― of stupid crimes of little importance.

       Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks ― where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police ― little effort is spent on searching. The police have detailed machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men.

       Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. Much of this has to be given by people who don’t want to get involved in a court case. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuading them, usually against their own best interests, to help him.

       A third big difference between the drama detective and the real detective is that the real detective lives in an unpleasant moral twilight (暮色). Detectives tend to have two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality; secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time, some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

       If the detective has to deceive (欺骗) the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness ― as he sees it ― of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of putting a complete end to crime punish the criminals less strictly in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).

 

77.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law ________.

A.so that he can catch criminals in the streets easily

B.because many of the criminals he has to catch are very dangerous

C.because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer

D.so that he can give a good reason for his arrests in court

78.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________.

A.full of danger                                             B.exciting and fantastic

C.devoted mostly to regular matters                 D.wasted on unimportant matters

79.When murders and terrorist attacks occur, the police ________.

A.try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation

B.usually fail to produce results

C.prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

D.take a lot of effort to try to track down their men

80.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.There are similarities between drama detective and the real detective.

B.Most people don’t want to be the witnesses of the case.

C.American policemen’s real life is different from Britain policemen’s.

D.In reality society does not punish criminals strictly enough.

  In 1997,a group of twenty British women made history.Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole.Apart from one experienced female guild,the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period.

  The women set off as soon as they were ready.Once on the ice,each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇)weighting over 50 kilos.This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface,but for long distances,the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high,and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn’t become damaged.The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible.It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.

  In such conditions,the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day.But there was another problem.Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift back more than five kilometers during the night.That meant after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours one day,they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.Furthermore,each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.

  So,how did they manage to succeed?They realized that they were part of a team.If any one of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done,she would endanger the success of the whole expedition.Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted,so personal feelings had to be put to one side.At the end of their journey,the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.

(1)

What was so extraordinary about the expedition?

[  ]

A.

There was no one to lead it.

B.

The women did not have any men with them.

C.

It was a new experience for most of the women.

D.

(2)

On the expedition,the women had to be careful to avoid ________.

[  ]

A.

falling over on the ice

B.

being left behind

C.

damaging the sledges

D.

getting too cold at night

(3)

It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because ________.

[  ]

A.

they got too tired

B.

the temperatures were too low

C.

they kept getting lost

D.

the ice was moving

(4)

What is the main idea of the text?

[  ]

A.

Teamwork achieve goals.

B.

Women can do anything they want.

C.

It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions.

D.

Arctic conditions are very severe.

(5)
