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.

试题分析:
小题1:本文第二段最后一句提到三百年前,在伦敦城的人们通常呆在家里的原因是街道有许多的贼偷钱,故本题的答案是Because there were so many thieves who stole money in the streets。

小题3:本题的结构为so……that,that后跟的是一个结果状语从句,意思为以至于人们尽可能多地呆在家里,who stole money in the streets 修饰名词thieves是一个定语从句,意思为街上有许多偷钱的小偷,故本句可翻译成街上有这么多偷钱的小偷以至于人们尽可能多地呆在家里。
小题4:本句前半句是一个被动语态,可翻译成今天,伦敦警察被付给好的报酬,who still ride horses 修饰名词短语the few police officers,是一个定语从句,可翻译成那些少数仍然骑马的警官,本句的最后是比较级的结构,可翻译成他们的薪水甚至比其他的人更高,故本句可翻译成今天,伦敦警察被付给好的报酬,尤其是那些少数仍然骑马的警官,他们的薪水甚至比其他的人更高。
小题5:本文主要介绍了伦敦警察的形成和发展,故本文的标题可以为London Police。,意思为伦敦警察。
