Question

Andy Pope,a police community support officer for West Midlands Police,in the UK,has come to be known as a memory policeman for his surprising memory,which has helped him successfully recognize over 850 suspects（嫌疑犯）in the last four years.

Every day,Pope arrives at work half an hour early,opens his computer,and scans the pictures of suspects in his computer.He has been doing it even since he joined the West Midlands Police in 2013,and as his brain stores more faces,hrs record of recognizing bad guys keeps getting better.His skill has made him special,and when policemen use up all other possible ways trying to put a name to a suspect's face,they tum to him.

"If you look at a picture enough times,there is usually something that sticks in the mind.Maybe I can't remember what it is at the time,but when I see the person in the flesh,it causes that recognition,"Pope says.He once recognized a robber whose photo he had looked at a year before,and another from a CCTV video,by a tiny mole（痣）on his face.

Andy Pope first attracted the attention of the media in 2017 after recognizing about 250 suspects.But according to a recent ITV report,Pope's record has improved in the last four years.

"I thought I was just normal until inspector Morris told me I was recognizing more people than anyone else," Pope told The Telegraph in 2017."I don't know whether I have a photographic memory.My wife has to deal with things like birthdays.When it comes to remembering dates,I'm useless."

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了警员Andy Pope 对人脸有着非凡的记忆能力，在过去四年中凭借此种记忆力成功辨认出850余名嫌疑犯，并因此成名。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“Every day, Pope arrives at work half an hour early”“每天，Pope提前半小时工作”可知，若8：30开始工作，则Pope会在8点到达办公室。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段中“has come to be known as a memory policeman for his surprising memory,which has helped him successfully recognize over 850 suspects（嫌疑犯）in the last four years.”“因他令人惊奇的记忆力而被称为记忆警察，这帮助他在过去四年中成功地辨认出850余名嫌疑犯”可知，Pope的特长是善于记忆人脸。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“another from a CCTV video,by a tiny mole（痣）on his face.”“通过嫌疑犯脸上的一颗小痣便辨认出CCTV视频中的嫌疑犯”可知脸上有痣的嫌疑犯并未逃脱Pope的法眼，D正确。根据最后一段可知Pope并不擅长记忆日期，所以A“Pope能记住他看到的任何东西”说法错误。根据第一段“Pope在过去四年中辨认出850余名嫌疑犯”可知，B“Pope在过去四年中总共辨认出250名嫌疑犯”说法错误。C选项文中并未说明。故选D。

4.主旨大意题。根据全文对Pope的介绍可知，他是一名拥有超强人脸记忆的警察，所以本文主要讲述的是Pope的记忆力。故选A。

【名师点睛】细节理解题：细节题的发问具体，涉及内容五花八门，通常采用以疑问词开头的特殊疑问句或不完全句的形式，有时即便不是以what，which，how等疑问词引导的问句，也是以变相的问句对这类事实或细节进行提问。如：本文的第2题，是以what疑问词引导的问句，根据第一段中“has come to be known as a memory policeman for his surprising memory,which has helped him successfully recognize over 850 suspects（嫌疑犯）in the last four years.”“因他令人惊奇的记忆力而被称为记忆警察，这帮助他在过去四年中成功地辨认出850余名嫌疑犯”可知，Pope的特长是善于记忆人脸。故选A。
