Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan(or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.
Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.
About 300 years ago, many people ______.
选项
A、wanted to leave London
B、had big houses in London
C、became policemen
D、came to live in London
答案
D
解析
根据文章的意思,可以知道从三百年前开始,伦敦的居民越来越多。选项A说没有钱,而穷并不等于一点钱也没有。选项B说在伦敦有大房子,文中没有提到。选项C说很多人都变成了警察,而从第四段可以知道到1829年开始才有了很多警察。只有D选项说很多人都开始在伦敦居住,符合文章原意。
