passage 31
over the years, i've heard a fair number of slurs shouted at campus cops. seldom were they "pig" or "fascist." far more often, they diminished the power of the officer, using words like " fake cop" or "rent-a-cop". this is which the power and class dynamics get tricky.(1)____ they are real cops. employing by california, they are agents of the state.(2)____ they've got weapons. and the payment is not bad at all.(3)____
on the other hand, campus police at u.c. berkeley and u.c. davis, patrol kids who'd call them failures if they grew up to be cops; kids who have more opportunities than the children of the campus cops; kids who will most be more successful than campus cops; kids who even enjoy the ultimate loyalty of u.c. faculty and most administrators.(4)____(5)____ just look at what happened before u.c. berkeley administrators sent in cops with batons, and u.c. davis administrators sent in cops with pepper spray.(6)____ predictive quarrels occurred.(7)____ batons and pepper spray were used. images leaked. and suddenly administrators were launching investigations!(8)____ and issuing statements about how deeply they cared for the students! did they fail to anticipate that the weapons would be turned on passive protesters?
they' d do well to read " shooting an elephant," george orwell's reflection on his time as a british imperial police officer in burma, if so. to be clear, i don't think imperialism is an apt analogy when police forcibly remove from occupy cal or davis protesters.(9)____ and i do think orwell helps us understand why officers who aren't monsters might use wildly excessive force.(10)____
文章大意
本文讨论的是美国校园警察施暴的问题。几年前校园警察被谩骂为“猪”、“法西斯分子”，而现在被称为“伪警察”、“租来的警察”，但事实上他们是警察，是加州的职员，他们有武器，且享受不错的待遇，他们负责巡视学生。加州大学聘请了备有武器的警察，在他们解决校园纠纷时使用了这些武器后，管理人员才突然展开调查，声称他们如何关心学生，但为何他们当初没有预计到这些武器会用来对付学生抗议者呢？
答案详解
1．whichwhere语法错误。此处是表语从句，引导词在从句中作状语，要用连接副词where引导。
2．employingemployed语法错误。此处分词短语作状语，employ与句子的主语they是被动关系，故应改为过去分词employed。
3．paymentpay词汇错误。payment意为“支付；缴纳；报答”，放在此处与上下文语义衔接不上。pay作名词时，意为“工资”，而这里表示的是“校园警察有武器且薪水也不差”，故用pay合适。
4．themthemselves语法错误。由上下文语义判断，此处指代的是先行词kids，故应该用反身代词themselves．意为“如果长大当警察的话，孩子们会称自己是失败者。”
5．mostmostly词汇错误。此处修饰动词be需要用副词，most作副词，意为“很，非常”，mostly意为“主要地，通常”，此句要表达的意思是“将来通常要比校园警察更成功的小孩”，故应该用mostly，符合上下语义。
6．beforeafter语篇错误。根据上下文语义，下文所发生的事情．即警棍和胡椒水喷剂的使用，是发生在u.c. berkeley administrators和 u.c. davis administrators派来带有武器的校警之后，而不是之前，故应该用after来连接。
7．predictivepredictable词汇错误。predictive意为“预言的，预告的”，predictable意为“可预见的；意料之中的”，此句的意思是“争吵不出意料地发生了。”故用predictable符合文意。
8．∧administratorsthe词汇错误。此处特指u.c.berkeley和u.c．davis的administrators，且前文已经两次提到过administrators，故前面应该加上定冠词the。
9．fromfrom词汇错误。remove作不及物动词，常和from搭配，意为“迁移，移居”，remove作及物动词，意为“去掉，排除，使消失”，此句要表达的意思是“警察用武力驱赶occupy cal或davis protesters。”故应该去掉from。
10．andbut语篇错误。由上下文语义判断，此句与上一句在意义上应是转折关系，上一句说到我认为“帝国主义”不是一个恰当的类比，下一句则说orwell帮助我们了解警察为什么过度使用武力：从结构上来看，前句的i don't think写本句的i do think形成对照，故应改为表转折意义的连词but。
