In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally 1 them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police should have the power that they do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not a(n) 2 job to describe. After
all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic,either on foot in the center of a town, or in apolice car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time 3up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop 4 motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the 5 , too. If there is a fight or some other
disturbance, we 6 the police to e and restore order. And they often have to7 situation at great risk to their own 8 .
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course; so an ordinary policeman,
9 he is not a detective(侦探), will often have to help 10 and arrest criminals.
And who do we call when there is an emergency-an air crash, a 11 , a
road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be 12 to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the 13 world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job. They do it 14 well and I
support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could 15 do
the job of a policeman.

(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】C。由下文观点排除A、B，作者是欣赏警察行事的态度与精神，而不是羡慕。

【小题1】A。警察处理情况也有危险威胁他们安全，所以应选safety， their own safety。
【小题1】D。although与even if都有“虽然……但是”之意，但even if有强调之意，此处强调警察的作用。
【小题1】C。 “look for”是寻找之意，“get rid of”摆脱，question质问，sentence判处，此处是警察寻找并追捕犯罪分子。
【小题1】B。前文说“emergency”是紧急情况，A、B、C、D中只有a fire是紧急情况。答案为B。
