Question

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. (93). 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.
(94). Today, London police are quite well paid, especially for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

小題5:London Police

試題分析：
小題1:本文第二段最后一句提到三百年前，在倫敦城的人們通常呆在家里的原因是街道有許多的賊偷錢，故本題的答案是Because there were so many thieves who stole money in the streets。
小題2:本文的第四段第二行有一句So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started with 3,000 officers.表示的含義是在1829年，開始了第一批警察部隊(duì)，擁有3000名官員，故本題的答案是In 1829.
小題3:本題的結(jié)構(gòu)為so……that，that后跟的是一個(gè)結(jié)果狀語從句，意思為以至于人們盡可能多地呆在家里，who stole money in the streets 修飾名詞thieves是一個(gè)定語從句，意思為街上有許多偷錢的小偷，故本句可翻譯成街上有這么多偷錢的小偷以至于人們盡可能多地呆在家里。
小題4:本句前半句是一個(gè)被動(dòng)語態(tài)，可翻譯成今天，倫敦警察被付給好的報(bào)酬，who still ride horses 修飾名詞短語the few police officers，是一個(gè)定語從句，可翻譯成那些少數(shù)仍然騎馬的警官，本句的最后是比較級(jí)的結(jié)構(gòu)，可翻譯成他們的薪水甚至比其他的人更高，故本句可翻譯成今天，倫敦警察被付給好的報(bào)酬，尤其是那些少數(shù)仍然騎馬的警官，他們的薪水甚至比其他的人更高。
小題5:本文主要介紹了倫敦警察的形成和發(fā)展，故本文的標(biāo)題可以為London Police。，意思為倫敦警察。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文主要談?wù)摿藗惗鼐�察發(fā)展的歷史，從無到有的原因，從單一的到多種類型的警察，以及倫敦警察過去和現(xiàn)在的待遇水平，閱讀本文時(shí)我們應(yīng)該以倫敦警察的形成過程為線索，通讀全篇，把握文章的主要內(nèi)容。
