问题     "Copper" and "bobby" are two of several nicknames that the English policeman has. And "peeler" was the early nickname for the policeman, but this one has died out. Of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory (贬损的) nicknames which originated in America, such as "fuzz" or "pig".
    Visitors to England seem, nearly always to be very impressed by the English police. They are usually very friendly and have helpful sort of character. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!
    Two things are immediately noticeable to the stranger, when he sees an English policeman for the first time. The first is that he does not carry a pistol and the second is that he wears the policeman’s helmet. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a pistol and that his helmet should be taken from him, but both these suggestions are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves.
选项 A、pig
B、peeler
C、fuzz
D、bobby
答案B
解析 文章中提及了5个警察的别名，其中提到"an early nickname for the policeman was peeler，but this one has died out．"die out就是消失的意思，等同于题目中 "the nickname that is not used"。因此显然答案为[B]。
