He fascinated Victorian England with his 【1】 skill at cracking cases, based on astute (機敏的) logical reasoning and grasp of forensic science, not to mention a 【2】 of disguises and encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal underclass.

But this detective was not Sherlock Holmes but a real life investigator, Jerome Caminada, who, as a new research suggests, helped inspire Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s celebrated hero.

A biography of Caminada reveals a series of 【3】 similarities between him and the fictional character, in terms of their unorthodox methods and character. It also establishes strong 【4】 between the real detective’s cases and plot lines used by Doyle. The author, Angela Buckley, has even established that Caminada’s casework involved 【5】 an alluring (迷人的) and talented criminal, similar to Irene Adler, and that the detective even had a Moriarty-like nemesis who plagued him over the course of several cases until a final, dramatic confrontation. Mrs. Buckley said, “Caminada became a national figure at just the time that Sherlock Holmes was being created. There are so many parallels that it is clear Doyle was using parts of this real 【6】 for his.”

The son of an Italian father and Irish mother, Caminada was based in Manchester, but was involved in cases which took him across the country, and he enjoyed a nationwide profile in the press, where 【7】 of his exploits were widely reported. Most of his career was spent with Manchester City Police Force although he later 【8】, like Holmes, as a “consulting detective”. As the fictional character relied on a network of underworld contacts — the Baker Street Irregulars — so Caminada was known for his extensive web of 【9】, whom he would often meet in the back pew of a church. These characters helped him build up an encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal fraternity, among whom he would often move in disguise—another tactic in common with Holmes. Like his fictional counterpart, Caminada was noted for his tendency to wander the streets of the roughest neighborhoods alone at night, 【10】 intervening in any crimes he encountered.

這是一篇記敘文，講述了大偵探福爾摩斯的原型卡米納達的故事。

【1】考查形容詞。句意：憑借敏銳的邏輯推理和對法醫(yī)學(xué)的掌握，他在破案方面的高超技巧令維多利亞時代的英國人著迷，更不用說他對下層犯罪分子的偽裝和廣博知識的掌握了。修飾名詞skill用形容詞，表示“高超的、無與倫比的”，故填K。

【2】考查名詞。句意同上，作動詞mention的賓語用名詞，表示“精通、掌握”，故填F。

【3】考查形容詞。句意：《卡米納達傳》揭示了卡米納達與小說人物之間的一系列驚人的相似之處，這些相似之處體現(xiàn)在他們的非正統(tǒng)的方法和性格上。修飾名詞similarities用形容詞，表示“驚人的”，故填J。

【4】考查名詞。句意：它也在真實的偵探案件和道爾所使用的情節(jié)線之間建立了強烈的共鳴。作動詞establishes的賓語用名詞，表示“共鳴”，故填B。

【5】考查非謂語動詞。句意：作者安吉拉·巴克利甚至證實，卡米納達的案件工作涉及對付一名與艾琳·阿德勒類似的迷人而有才華的罪犯。involve后接動名詞作賓語，表示“對付、處理”，故填D。

【6】考查名詞。句意：有如此多的相似之處，很明顯道爾是在用這個真實人物的一部分來塑造他小說中的人物。作介詞of的賓語用名詞，表示“人物、角色”，故填H。

【7】考查名詞。句意：他在全國范圍內(nèi)享有媒體的關(guān)注，媒體廣泛報道了他事跡的記述。此處缺少名詞作主語，accounts在此處表示表示“敘述、記述”，故填A。

【8】考查動詞。句意：他的大部分職業(yè)生涯是在曼徹斯特市警察局度過的，盡管他后來像福爾摩斯一樣，以咨詢偵探的身份工作。此處缺少動詞作謂語，operate as表示“從事、擔(dān)當(dāng)”，故填E。

【9】考查名詞。句意：卡米納達以其廣泛的線人網(wǎng)而聞名，他經(jīng)常在教堂的后排座位上與這些線人見面。空后的“whom”表明此處應(yīng)該填指人的詞，informer表示“線人”，故填I。

【10】考查副詞。句意：卡米納達以喜歡在夜間獨自游蕩在最惡劣街區(qū)的街道上而聞名，他無畏地介入他所遇到的任何犯罪。修飾動詞短語intervening in用副詞，表示“無畏地”，故填C。
