The Rockford police chief and some city officials want to install video cameras in (30) all 100 police cars. (29) They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits filed against the city. In the last five years, Rockford has paid out more than five million dollars to settle about 40 lawsuits.
     The chief said that if cameras had been in those cars, they wouldn’t have had to pay one dime. According to him, drunks or drug users who try to fight the cops or shoot them always claim that the police started beating them first or started shooting at them first.
     (30) The cost of installing cameras will be about $500 per vehicle. The city council will vote on the proposal next Monday. (31) Ten of the 13 council members, when asked about the proposal, said that they liked the idea. If the cameras are approved, they can be installed in all the cars within six weeks.
     The police officers enthusiastically support camera use. One officer said that too many people think the police are liars; cameras would show citizens that police tell the truth.
     Citizens’ reaction to the idea of police car cameras is mixed. One person said that the police should have started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented. But an elderly man said that cameras were an invasion of privacy. He said these police are trying to stick their noses into everything. He was going to attend the council meeting to condemn the proposal. He hoped that other citizens would join him.

选项 A、Most of them like it.
B、Most of them hate it.
C、Most of them doubt its necessity.
D、Most of them doubt its feasibility.

答案 A

解析 由于安装摄像机需要花费政府的钱,因此该计划需得到市议会的赞同,文章中提到13名市议会议员中有10名对这项提议表示赞同,因此可以看出大多数市议会议员都赞同这项计划。故A 为本题答案。
