【答案解析】[听力原文]
   "All officers 'should have degrees'", was the BBC headline. An adviser to the College of Policing, which sets standards for police training in England and Wales, said: "We are looking to have degree-level qualifications for constable and masters for superintendent."
   The college said that France and Spain already demanded that new-entry police officers have degrees and that inspectors have master's degrees.
   The college said professions such as medicine, nursing, law and social work all required university qualifications. The high level at which police officers operated today meant UK forces needed to consider degrees too.
   It is easy to understand what the college is talking about. Dealing with cross-border terrorism, cyber crime and financial fraud needs sophisticated skills. Police forces that can attract graduates will probably benefit. But the idea that every officer needs to be a graduate seems wrong-headed.
   I am fortunate to have gone to university, fortunate to have had the experience and fortunate to have had the skills that get you through school and into higher education.
   There are plenty of skills I do not have—skills more valuable than turning out newspaper columns. They include fixing leaking roofs, replacing car brake pads, inserting catheters and disarming knife-wielding muggers. These require training, practice and experience. I doubt that three or four years of attending (or skipping) lectures, trying out and discarding political philosophies, socializing and partying teach you any of these. The idea that university is the pinnacle of educational achievement denigrates valuable non-academic skills. This view is particularly strong in the UK which, as a consequence, has a poor record on apprenticeships.
   Which country has already demanded that new-entry police officers have degrees?
选项A是英国，选项B是法国，选项C是中国，选项D是美国。由选项可知，该问应与某个国家有关。
   短文中提到，法国和西班牙已经要求新进的警员需有学位证书，检察官需要硕士学位。故选B。
