The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is incriminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be usedto prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has toapply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talkto.

　　Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramaticconfrontationswith desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions ofwords on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty —ornot —of stupid, petty crimes.

　　Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story isover. i real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases likemurders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing ofthe police —little effortis spent on searching.

　　Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court andto do thathe often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked,a detective has to beout at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses andpersuade them usually against their own best interests, to help him.

　　1.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對第1句的理解。if引出的條件狀語從句前的破折號表明這個假設(shè)是相對于之前的看電視來說的，而不是相對于整句話的。該句特意用if作補(bǔ)充說明，暗示了一些附加的信息：真實生活中的警察通常很晚回家，連看電視都趕不上。由此可見,C是正確的理解。A說法過于絕對，與原文的hardly不符。

　　2.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查內(nèi)在的因果關(guān)系。從第2段第3句可以推斷出答案,A毫無原文依據(jù)，原文中也并沒有暗示B和D這兩種因果關(guān)系。

　　3.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對長句的理解。根據(jù)第3段第2句可以推斷出答案。本題最具干擾性的是B，按照常識,警察的工作通常都被認(rèn)為很危險，但是第3段第1句由Little引出的倒裝句表明了他們很少與亡命之徒交鋒，并非充滿危險，因此B不對;而D將在文中用來修飾people的unimportant拿來修飾“事情”,顯然偷換概念，曲解原文。

　　4.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查對復(fù)合句的理解。答題關(guān)鍵在于正確理解第4段最后一句，except引出的句子暗示警方只有在遇到特別嚴(yán)重的犯罪時追捕罪犯才會花費很大的氣力，B符合文意。本題最具干擾性的是C,由本句第2個破折號后的內(nèi)容可知此處主要強(qiáng)調(diào)“費不費勁”的問題，而C中的make a quick airest并未突顯出原文的關(guān)鍵含義，不如B準(zhǔn)確。

　　5.[C] 主旨大意題。本文的重點是說瞀察們的現(xiàn)實生活，全文將這種現(xiàn)實生活與電視里面展現(xiàn)的作比較,是為澄清事實，故C可概括全文主題。

　　It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines.Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images ofher comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," shesaid. "But putting a face to those figures broughtthe reality home to me; like when I metSandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."

　　The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used everyopportunity during her visit to repeat this message.

　　But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government,which refused tosupport a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack On thePrincess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (亂放炮的人)

　　The Princess responded by brushing aside the Criticisms: "This is a distraction (干擾) we do notneed. AllI’m trying to do is help."

　　Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their Support for the Princess.To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess trip had beenapproved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both thesituation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was asevere embarrassment for the government.

　　To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princessviews on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "workingtowards" a worldwide ban.The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "amisinterpretation or misunderstanding." -

　　For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use herpopularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. Shesaid that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and theirproblems.

　　1.[A] 根據(jù)題干中的時間、人名可以馬上找到信息源為文章第1句，其中的不定式正好與選項的形式一致,表示目的，只要將選項內(nèi)容與原文第1句中的不定式結(jié)構(gòu)內(nèi)容相對照即可得出答案為A。

　　2.[D] 此題考查語義及邏輯推理能力，關(guān)鍵在于理解brought the reality home to sb. (使某人了解到現(xiàn)實)及I knew the statistics, but...的隱含義“我知道統(tǒng)計數(shù)字，但是(沒想到會這么嚴(yán)重)”。再結(jié)合上文可知D的表述正確。C錯在黛安娜不是親身看到那些受害者之后才相信該統(tǒng)計數(shù)字的。

　　3.[B] 第3段第1句指出，回到倫敦，她的觀點并沒有得到英國政府的一些官員的認(rèn)可。黛安娜是支持banninglandmines(禁止地雷)的，故英國政府的一些官員是反對禁止地雷，因此答案選B。而從第5段第2句“……黛安娜王妃出訪已獲英國外交部批準(zhǔn)，而且事實上她對安哥拉的形勢和英國政府有關(guān)地雷的政策都很了解。’’可知A、C、D的說法均不正確。

　　4.[A] 此題關(guān)鍵在于理解第4段第1句中brush aside“無視,不顧，漠視”這個短語，A的paid no attention與brush aside同義,故選A。

　　5.[B] 根據(jù)文章最后一句，黛安娜總結(jié)其出訪安哥拉的意義，B中的brought her closer to the ordinarypeople是原文get closer to people and their problems的同義改寫。
