问题 Early today, Susan Cabot, executive director of the New Hightown City Transit Authority, announced the Transit Authority’s decision to pass an unpopular rule banning walking between morning cars on the commuter train.
The decision drew criticism from many people who ride the trains. Ms. Cabot reminded opponents of the ban that although moving between cars to find an available seat was a common practice, it was also a very dangerous one. She added that the new rule would help ensure the safety of the passengers and reduce accidents.
Ms. Cabot further stated that transit police officers on patrol would be responsible for enforcing the ban. In most cases, they would issue a warning before writing a ticket. She declined, however, to mention specific criteria that would be used when deciding whether to issue a ticket. "We are not writing tickets for everything we see, nor are we assigning police officers to watch every move passengers make on board. If a passenger has a good reason for not observing the rules, police officer discretion will prevail." Ms. Cabot ordered the Transit Authority to conduct a three-month study to monitor how often tickets are issued.
Other proposed changes under consideration include a ban on wearing roller skates, standing on a skateboard, or riding a bicycle on a train platform. In addition, the practice of putting one’s feet up on the seat would also be forbidden. If approved by Transit Authority, these additional rule changes would take effect on May 1.
How will police officers enforce the ban?
选项 A、They will strictly follow specific criteria.
B、They will make decisions based on each situation.
C、They will give offenders a verbal warning until May 1.
D、They will monitor passengers only at major stations.
答案B
解析 关于警察执法的内容文中提到，“乘客有充分理由不遵守这项法规(a good reason for not observing the rules)时，警察可视情况自行处理(…police officer discretion will prevail．)”，因此(B)They will make decisions based on each situation．(警察可视情况自行决定。)是针对警察执法的确切说明。
