Ⅱ. Read the passage and complete the tasks(阅读短文并完成任务)(第1至5题,每题2分;第6题,6分;共16分)★
Whether from the novels, TV shows or movies, everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. His stories are among the most read material in the world, behind only the Bible and the dictionary.
The famous detective stories were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Though he studied medicine and managed to practise it, writing became his pleasure in life and made him famous all over the world. In addition to his gift in writing detective stories, he had a medical background that enabled him to be of service during wars and journeys to both Antarctica and Africa.
During his university years, Doyle found his studies dull but loved watching his unusual teachers. One of these was Dr. Joseph Bell, who liked to observe to find solutions to problems. While Bell could guess people’s jobs just by observing them carefully, he was also cold to his patients. And so Doyle’s famous Holmes was born—a confident detective with a keen eye but an indifferent attitude.
Doyle began to publish detective stories of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand magazine in 1891 and achieved great success. These exciting and enjoyable adventures attracted the British middle class who lined up to buy magazines and read them. Doyle, however, felt Holmes was blocking his desire to write historical novels and killed him off in 1893. Angry letters and protest failed to bring Holmes back until 8 years later.
Holmes continued being popular through new novels, BBC’s TV shows and the Robert Downey Jr. films. Some fans are even crazy about Sherlock Holmes. A group of fans called
Sherlockians claim that Sherlock Holmes was a real person and his stories are historical record. As they work to prove their claims and as books and films about Holmes continue to fill our homes,our favourite detective certainly lives on.
