Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville 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 Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the 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 Green Ville alone at night. Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes’ 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 unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime 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 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What is Florence Hayes’ main responsibility as a journalist?
13. What does the speaker say about security in Green Ville?
14. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Green Ville area?

B、Rapes rarely occur in the downtown areas.
C、Assaults often happen on school campuses.
D、It has fewer violent crimes than big cities.

答案 D

解析 选项是一些犯罪行为,并使用了比较级,所以考生要注意比较对象。听力接下来讲 Green Ville 比较安全,比起大城市犯罪行为比较少。所以D)为正确选项。选项A是个强干扰性,文章并没有把小镇现在和以前的治安状况对比。
