“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you cold? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”

“I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”

“We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(馬車).”

“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”

“ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.”

“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(開支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”

Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail.

Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”

“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.

“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.”

“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”

“My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room.”

1.段落大意題。這個(gè)題目問到的是第6段的主要大意,根據(jù)文章第6段我們可以知道,在這一段中Helen 描述了她的繼父和她的家庭情況。故選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第7段Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail.福爾摩斯坐在椅子上,他的眼睛閉著,他仔細(xì)的聽著Helen的故事,聽著每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。故選B。

4.主旨大意題。這篇文章是一個(gè)故事的片段,并不是一個(gè)完整的故事,關(guān)于福爾摩斯斷案的故事,因此它應(yīng)該節(jié)選自一部小說,而不是詩歌、旅游或廣告。故選C。
