There are similarities, of course, but the cops do
26、n“t think much of them. The first difference is that a policeman“s life is centered around 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 the crimes in court. He has to know nearly as much as a professional lawy
27、er. What is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and in the rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in chatting with women of the street or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typi
28、ng millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guiltyor notof stupid, petty crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal. As soon as he is arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Exce
29、pt in very serious eases like murders and terrorist attackswhere failure to produce results affects the standing of the police little effort is made in searching. The police have elaborate hi-tech devices which eventually show up most wanted men. Having made an arrest, a detective starts to work. To
30、 prove his case in court, he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. Much of the evidence has to be given by people who don“t want to get involved. So a detective has to be out all hours of the day and night interviewing the witnesses and persuading them to help him. A third big difference
31、between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant moral twilight in which the real one lives. The detective is subject to two opposing pressures: first, as a member of the police he always has to behave with absolute legality; second, as an expensive public servant he has to get results
32、. He can hardly ever do both. Most of the time he has to break the rules in small ways. If the detective has to deceive 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 b
33、y the simple-mindednessas he sees itof citizens, social workers, doctors, lawmakers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, he feels, is that nine-tenths of his work is re-catching people who should
34、have stayed behind bars. This makes him rather cynical.（分数：10.00）(1).It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law _.（分数：2.00）A.so that he can catch criminals in the streetB.so that he can justify his arrests in courtC.because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerousD.beca
35、use he has to know nearly as much about the law as a lawyer(2).The everyday life of a policeman or detective is _.（分数：2.00）A.exciting and glamorousB.full of dangerC.devoted mostly to routine mattersD.wasted on unimportant matters(3).When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police _.（分数：2.00）A.pr
36、efer to wait for the criminal to give himself awayB.make much effort in trying to track down their manC.try to make a quick arrest to keep up their reputationD.usually fail to produce results(4).The real detective lives in “the unpleasant moral twilight“ (L. 12, Para. 6) partly because _.（分数：2.00）A.
37、he is an expensive public servantB.he works under constant pressure to get resultsC.he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the worldD.he is obliged to break the law slightly in order to keep it(5).The detective is rather cynical because _.（分数：2.00）A.society does not punish criminals severel
38、y enoughB.nine-tenths of his work involves arresting peopleC.hardly anyone tells him the truthD.too many criminals escape from jail七、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Britain has always been a neighbor of France, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the t
39、wo countries have existed, the. French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and the French were at war through the 18th century. Those were not just local difficulties. When Americans rebelled against British
40、rule, thousands of French soldiers fought alongside them, and paid by France. Without the conflict between Britain and France, there would probably have been no America. There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry between the two nations. That“s why a recent sur
41、vey in the UK caused a major shock. It revealed that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that 21 per cent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France. Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, w
42、ith some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food! Others point to what they call “football diplomacy“. French players like Thierry Hen
43、ry and managers like Arsene Wenger have revolutionized British attitudes towards France. It“s true that many British people only respect nations that play football well. And that may indicate why so many people want to leave England! But this may be part of a more general cultural change. Growing nu
44、mbers of people in Britain drink wine instead of beer and coffee instead of tea. They pay more attention to the way they dress. In some way, they are becoming more French. Estimates of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around
45、 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly setting in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle and work in Britain, where there are greater economic opportunities. Now the citizens of the European Union are free to move between co
46、untries within the EU which have different social systems. Some are more socially conservative. Others offer better public services and a more relaxed lifestyle. Traditionally, debates over these issues have been part of the politics of European nation states. Now it seems that people can go to the
47、place that suits them best. So perhaps the British are not becoming more French. Instead, both the French and the British are becoming more European.（分数：10.00）(1).The survey caused a shock because it shows that _.（分数：2.00）A.British people think France has better public servicesB.France has a better
48、climate and a more relaxed lifestyleC.people in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer holidaysD.more than 30 per cent of the British people would like to live in France(2).The underlying meaning of “And think of the food!“ in Paragraph 5 is that the food in France is _.（分数：2.00）A.much cheaperB.
49、more deliciousC.more expensiveD.more disgusting(3).The “football diplomacy“ has changed some British people“s _.（分数：2.00）A.taste in foodB.style in fashionC.image of FranceD.attitudes to football(4).In Paragraph 8, from the sentence “But it is not one-way traffic“, we can infer that _.（分数：2.00）A.some French people prefer to live in Britain as wellB.some British people prefer to live in France as wellC.people can drive back and forth between the two countr
