问题     Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the great detective in fiction. He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
    In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as ‘tall and manner”. Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B. Of course, there never was really any such address. Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy (愚笨的) Dr. Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did. Poor Dr. Watson lost out to Holmes every time.
    Doyle gave Holmes a masterly skill of deduction-the ability to come up with interesting conclusions from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime.
    Conan Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modelled on one of his lectures at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine. The man was Dr. Joseph Bell.
    The name of Sherlock Holmes first came to be shown in Doyle’s A study in Scarlet published in 1887. Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in angrily. They refused to allow Holmes to die! Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.
    The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then. Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.
Sherlock Holmes was (          ).
选项 A、the greatest detective who ever lived
B、Dr. Joseph Bell
C、Arthur Conan Doyle
D、only a character made up by Arthur Conan Doyle
答案D
解析 由文章第一段第二句可以推测福尔摩斯只是作者塑造的一个人物，而不是真实存在的人。A是个现实生活中非常厉害的侦探。B项就是Joseph，但文段中不是。C项是Arthur。ABC 均不符合文段叙述，因此答案选D。
