Question

【題目】 "The hound（獵狗）! "cries Holmes. "Come, Watson! Come.

We run quickly over the moor. We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we came closer we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.

"Oh, no! " says Holmes, This man has a beard（胡須）! "

Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.

So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Selden- his wife’s brother.

"Then Selden is dead because of this suit, ” says Holmes.

"Think. Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henry’s clothes -probably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henry’s scent and runs after this poor man. "

Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, "There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right. "

"Really? " asks Holmes

Stapleton looks at Holmes. "Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles? "

Holmes shrugs his shoulders. "We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I return to London tomorrow. "

"Oh, do you return to London tomorrow? "

"Yes. "

So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton to his home.

Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof（證據(jù)）that Stapleton is the murderer.

"There are no marks on Sir Charles's body. We know that he is died of fright （恐嚇）, but we can't prove anything. "

"Things are becoming clear to me, " Holmes says to Sir Henry. "It’s a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound. "

We are surprised to see one painting of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And he's like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. " Stapleton is a Baskerville, "replies Holmes. " So he wants to inherit (繼承) the Baskerville fortune , and he. . . , " I say. It’s an important clues.

【3】B

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要講述了Holmes 破了一個(gè)殺人案的過程。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“也許是從倫敦旅館里拿來的那只靴子。那只獵犬嗅出了亨利爵士的氣味，便追趕這個(gè)可憐的人”可知，獵犬應(yīng)該是根據(jù)氣味追趕。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)" Stapleton is a Baskerville, "replies Holmes.可知A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“Barrymore probably gave it to Selden- his wife’s brother.”可知C錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“We know that he is died of fright （恐嚇）, but we can't prove anything.”可知D錯(cuò)誤；故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“But we have no proof（證據(jù)）that Stapleton is the murderer.”可知，A錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)“Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.”可知，C錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton to his home.”可知D 錯(cuò)誤；故選B。

這是一篇科幻文。描述了一個(gè)殺人案的過程，他們是如何找出殺人兇手的。本文中涉及了詞義猜測題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題。詞義猜測題考查了學(xué)生們通過語境理解生字詞的能力，在不允許查字典的情況下，只能運(yùn)用猜詞法來猜測單詞意思。可以通過因果關(guān)系，對(duì)比關(guān)系猜測，也可以通過同義詞，反義詞，構(gòu)詞法等來猜詞。本文第一題根據(jù)獵犬追擊兇手，應(yīng)該是通過氣味，所以得出答案。
