问题     Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance(相似之处) between their lives and what they see on TV.
    The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round 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 a street after someone he wants to talk to.
    Little of his time is spent in chatting. 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 of stupid, petty(小的) crimes.
    Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: 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 attacks, 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.
    The third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
    If the detective has to detect the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation tile detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened  by the simple mindedness as he sees it—of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical(愤世嫉俗的).
What is the most suitable word that describes the work of a policeman according to the passage?
选项 A、Dangerous.
B、Demanding.
C、Distressing.
D、Dramatic.
答案C
解析 主旨题。本题问的是：根据文章，哪个词更适合用来描述警察的工作?整篇文章都是在写警察的实际工作。第2段介绍了他们的工作和刑法的密切关系。第3段介绍了他们一生中的绝大多数时间都用来打印关于犯罪记录的表格。第5段介绍在实施逮捕后，他们要收集证据。第6段介绍了他们有很大的压力，一方面要依据法律，另一方面又要给公众一个交代。第7段说由于对罪犯的判决不够严厉而导致他们的重复抓捕，因此他们的工作是痛苦和令人烦恼的，故选C 。
