问题     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 cops don’t think much of them.
    The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round 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 an alley after someone he wants to talk to.
    Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (衣着暴露的) ladies or in dramatic confrontations 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, petty crimes.
    Most television crime drama is about finding the criminals: 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 attack—where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police—little effort is spent on searching.
    Having made an arrest, a detective 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 witnesses and persuading them, usually against their own best interests, to help him.
When murders and terrorist attacks occur, the police______.
选项 A、prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away
B、make great efforts to try to track down their man
C、try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation
D、usually fail to produce results
答案B
解析 推理判断题。本题考查对复合句的理解。答题关键在于正确理解第4段最后一句，except引出的句子暗示警方只有在遇到特别严重的犯罪时追捕罪犯才会花费很大的气力，B符合文意。本题最具干扰性的是C，由本句第2个破折号后的内容可知此处主要强调“费不费劲”的问题．而C中的make a quick arrest并未突显出原文的关键含义，不如B准确。
