Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Greenville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically, she covers crime in the Greenville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week—the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property.
There isn’t much violent crime in a small town like Greenville, or at least not as much as in large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights near the bars downtown. There’re also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Greenville alone at night. Fortunately, there’re usually no murders in Greenville.
Crimes against property make up most of Ms. Hayes’ reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers, or bank robberies. But Florence has to report all of these violations, from the thief who took typewriters from every unlocked room in a dormitory to the thief who stole $1 million worth of artwork from the university museum.
Ms. Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper, but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crimes she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant, such as local news or politics. Maybe next year!
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?
23. What does the speaker say about security in Greenville?
24. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Greenville area?
25. What would Florence Hayes prefer to do?
选项
A、Offer help to crime victims.
B、Work as a newspaper editor.
C、Write about something pleasant.
D、Do some research on local politics.
答案
C
解析
选项中的Offer help,Work as…editor,Write,pleasant和Do…research表明,本题考查某人的行为或工作。短文中提到She would prefer to start writing about something…less unpleasant(她想写一些不那么让人不开心的东西),故答案为C)。短文结尾部分容易成为考点,听音时应留意。C)中的something pleasant是对something less unpleasant的同义转述。
