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.
Holmes was supposed to have lived ( ).
选项
A、somewhere in England
B、in a bungalow in London
C、in Dr. Watson’s clinic in Baker Street
D、in a flat in Baker Street
答案
D
解析
由第二段“Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street,London”与Holmes’ flat was supposed to be……可知,Holmes被假定生活在Baker Street。A项指的是生活在英国。B项指的是在伦敦的某处平房。C项指的是在Baker Street的一家公寓。但从文段的句子可以排除ABC三项,因此选择D项。
