Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Greenville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically, she covers crime in the Greenville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week—the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property.
There isn’t much violent crime in a small town like Greenville, or at least not as much as in large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights near the bars downtown. There’re also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Greenville alone at night. Fortunately, there’re usually no murders in Greenville.
Crimes against property make up most of Ms. Hayes’ reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers, or bank robberies. But Florence has to report all of these violations, from the thief who took typewriters from every unlocked room in a dormitory to the thief who stole $1 million worth of artwork from the university museum.
Ms. Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper, but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crimes she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant, such as local news or politics. Maybe next year!
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?
23. What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?
24. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Greenville area?
25. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?
选项
A、They are very destructive.
B、There are a wide range of cases.
C、There has been a rise in such crimes.
D、They have aroused fear among the residents.
答案
B
解析
选项中的destructive,wide range of cases,a rise,such crimes和aroused fear表明,本题考查某类犯罪活动的情况。由短文中提到的Crimes against property…range from minor cases…to much more serious offenses(财产犯罪……包括……小案件以及……大案件)可知,答案为B)。B)中的a wide range是对range from minor cases…to much more serious offenses的概括。
