In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally 21 them andthe job they do--although there are certain people who do not believe that the police 22have thepower that they do.

Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spendall,or a lot of, his time 25 up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has tohelp keep the traffic moving, stop 26 motorists and help when there is an accident.

We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policem'a~, even if he is not a detective( 侦探),will often have to help 30 and arrest criminals.
And 31 do we call when there is an emergency--an air crash, a fire, a road accident, or arobbery? We call the police.32 a policeman has to be prepared to face any unpleasant emergencythat may happen in the 33 world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it 34 well and I support them., but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could 35 do the job of a policeman.

IV. Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)
Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
根据下面内容，回答题：
Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is
enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War 11, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as au-tomobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared:the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy good sand the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Con-sumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance,crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds ,we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good thing son the first four levels.
36According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as ho,using and clothing only when__________.
A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has learned to build houses
参考答案：C
参考解析：
根据文中第二段所说，先填饱肚子才能想到保暖：衣物和遮蔽之所。C项是正确的。
37It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War ll,most Americans __________.
A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.did not own automobilesD.had own automobiles
参考答案：C
参考解析：
根据第二段最后三句可知到二战结束前，美国人满足了第--+等级，然后第三个等级才出现。第三个等级是对车子和新房子的需求。c项是正确的。
38What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?
A.The more goods the better.B.The more "luxury" items the better.C.The more mental satisfaction the better.D.The more earnings the better.
参考答案：C
参考解析：
第三段和第四段说前三个需求是物质上的(physical)，而第四个等级的需求是精神上的(mental)。C项是正确的。
39The author tends to think that the fifth level __________.
A.would be little better than the fourth levelB.may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actions参考答案：C
参考解析：
最后的等级就是交了税等着政府做事，我们只享受就是了。C项是正确的。由“…spending more on taxes to pay for government actionagainst…”可知，付更多的税给政府，政府再有所行动。不赋税，政府就不行动，第五个等级的满足就不会实现。

Deep inside a mountain near Sweet water in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as theLost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The caveexpands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.

根据下面内容，回答题：
Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".
Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aapects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to goto sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a tele-graph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (
形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Ma my of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned,in 1853,for information on this matter. In the 1840s ,Ma my had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid,but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition( 考察) ,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea.Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
44The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on.
A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect
参考答案：C
45It was__________that asked Meary for help in oceanographic studies.
A.the American NavyB.some early intercontinental travelersC.those who earned a living from the seaD.the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable "--

根据下面内容，回答题：
It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency ,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero"for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.~ Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act auto-matically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
48Based on this passage, over-learning is good because __________ .
A.simple information is usedB.children should know their namesC.it helps children act automaticallyD.difficult information is only partly learned
参考答案：C
参考解析：

参考答案：B
参考解析：
在第四段中提到“911”这个电话号码，根据上下文推断，可知这个号码应该是在紧急情况下拨的号码。
50One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is __________ .
A.call your neighborB.practice several timesC.teach children how to use the telephoneD.have children memorize some simple facts
参考答案：A
参考解析：
通读全文可知文中未提call the neigh.bor这一项内容，其他三项文中都有提及，故A项为最佳答案。
51What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Give instructions on calling for help.B.Partly-learned information is useless.C.Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D.Keep what children learn within their abilities.
参考答案：C
参考解析：
综合文章各段的意思，可知本文是教育孩子如何处理紧急情况的。
