Part IV Reading Comprehension

Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV – if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the policemen don’t think much of them.

The first difference is that a policemen’s real life centers 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 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 a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.

Little of his time is spent in chatting to pretty girls or in dramatic confrontations (对峙) 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, minor crimes.

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 fame of the police – little effort is spent on searching.

Having made an arrest, a detective (侦探) 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. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witness and persuading them, usually against their own interests, to help him.

61. What does the first paragraph tell us about policemen?
A、They often watch TV.
B、They like watching TV.
C、They are too busy to watch TV.
D、They hate seeing themselves on TV.
62. Why does the writer mention a lawyer in the second paragraph?
A、To show that a lawyer’s job is more comfortable.
B、To emphasize that policemen are physically strong.
C、To compare a lawyer’s with policemen’s.
D、To indicate that a lawyer’s job is less important than a policeman’s.
63. What do real policemen do at work?
A、They often deal with robbers and thieves.
B、They talk with a lot of victims and visitors.
C、They don’t deal with serious crimes very often.
D、The usually stay in their office studying cases.
64. What does the passage say about a detective?
A、His job is to make arrests.
B、He is good at finding criminals.
C、He has to prove his case in court.
D、He visits and helps his witnesses.
65. What is the main idea of the passage?
A、It is hard for policemen to do their job well.
B、Policemen keep in touch with a lot of people.
C、Policemen are people that we admire and respect.
D、Real policemen’s life is different from what is shown on TV.

 

 

Part V Translation from English into Chinese

Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.

Although machines have been around for a long time and people have adapted easily to living with most of them, they haven’t yet learned how to live in harmony with the newest of these: the personal computer.(76) This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon.

There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. (77) Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family.And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. (78) The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved.

(79) Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if what is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on.

(80) If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes – alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?
