This ability to react fast has been greatly improved with the aid of
3、 technology. The telephone and police radio, already long in use, assist greatly in the reduction of police response time. In more recent times there has been the introduction of the 911 emergence system, which allows the public easier and faster contact with police, and the use of police computer s
4、ystem, which assist police in planning patrols and assigning emergency requests to the police officers nearest to the scene of the emergency. An important part of police strategy, rapid police response is seen by police officers and the public alike as offering tremendous benefits. The more obvious
5、ones are the ability of police to apply first-aid life-saving techniques quickly and the greater likelihood of arresting people who may have participated in a crime. It aids in identifying those who witnessed an emergency or crime, as well as in collecting evidence. The overall reputation of a polic
6、e department, too, is enhanced if rapid response is consistent, and this in itself promotes the prevention of crime. Needless to say, rapid response offers the public some degree of satisfaction in its police force. While these may be the desired consequences of rapid police response, actual researc
7、h has not shown it to be quite so beneficial. For example, it has been demonstrated that rapid response leads to a greater likelihood of arrest only if responses are on the order of 1-2 minutes after a call is received by the police. When response times increase to 3-4 minutes still quite a rapid re
8、sponse the likelihood of an arrest is substantially reduced. Similarly, in identifying witnesses to emergencies or crimes, police are far more likely to be successful if they arrive at the scene no more than four minutes, on average, after receiving call for help. Yet both police officers and the pu
9、blic define “rapid response“ as responding up to 10-12 minutes after calling the police for help. Should police assume all the responsibility for ensuring a rapid response? Studies have shown that people tend to delay after an incident occurs before contacting the police. A crime victim may be injur
10、ed and thus unable to call for help, for example, or no telephone may be available at scene of the incident. Often, however, there is no such physical barrier to calling the police. Indeed, it is very common for crime victims to call their parents, their minister, or even their insurance company fir
11、st. When the police are finally called in such case, the effectiveness of even the most rapid of responses is greatly diminished. The effectiveness of rapid response also needs to be seen in light of the nature of the crime. For example, when someone rings the police after discovering their televisi
12、on set has been stolen from their home, there is little point, in terms of identifying those responsible for the crime, in ensuring a very rapid response. It is common in such burglary or theft cases that the victim discovers the crime hours, days, even weeks after it has occurred. When the victim i
13、s directly involved in the crime, however, as in the case of a robbery, rapid response, provided the victim was quickly able to contact the police, is more likely to be advantageous. Based on statistics comparing crimes that are discovered and those in which the victim is directly involved, Spelman
14、and Brown (1981) suggest that three in four calls to police need not be met with rapid response. It becomes clear that the importance of response time in collecting evidence or catching criminals after a crime must be weighed against a variety of factors. Yet because police department officials assu
15、me the public strongly demands rapid response, they believe that every call to the police should be met with it. Studies have shown, however, that while the public wants quick response, more important is the information given by the police to the person asking for help. If a caller is told the polic
16、e will arrive in five minutes but in fact it takes ten minutes or more, waiting the extra time can be extremely frustration. But if a caller is told he or she will have to wait 10 minutes and the police indeed arrive within that time, the caller is normally satisfied. Thus, rather than emphasizing r
17、apid response, the focus of energies should be on establishing realistic expectations in the caller and making every attempt to meet them. （分数：71.00）(1).Police believe there is a better chance of finding witnesses to a crime if response if rapid.（分数：7.10）A.YB.NC.NG(2).A response delay of 1-2 minutes

38、d by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establish ment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum (课程) consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kin
39、d of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry. The academy began in the early 1750s with Benjamin Franklins school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteenth centu
40、ry, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900. The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar schoo
41、l had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy has never been
42、considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be. The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827, the state enacted(制定) the first state-wide public high-school law in the United States. By 18
43、40, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850, they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of t
44、hat of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation (推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的)and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890, enrollments (入学) in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every t
45、en years. （分数：177.50）(1).According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed?（分数：35.50）A.Latin grammar school, public high school, academy.B.Latin grammar school, academy, public high school.C.Public high school, Latin grammar school, academy
