四、阅读理解
Detective Drake was napping (打盹) with his feet up on his desk when the phone rang. He yawned (打呵欠) and picked it up. "Hello?" he said. "I'll take the case. I will leave and meet you at once." Drake took his umbrella, which was suitable for the rain outside, and walked out into the noisy city.
The case
Drake hurried to the police station. "We've been getting unfinished maths problems in the mail," the Chief said. "They're signed 'Guessss Who?'. Every day the number of letters increases. We keep getting more. They are blocking the mail room."
Drake looked at the paper in the Chief's hand. He looked at one letter's clue carefully:
□ + 32 = 51 Guessss Who?
Gathering Clues
"The word 'guessss' isn't spelled right," Drake said thoughtfully. "Give me the clues, Chief," he said. "And if someone asks you, say that I've advised you not to discuss the case." Drake took the clues and went back to his office. First, he filled in the missing numbers. Then, he wrote the numbers in a notebook:
1 1 5 5 5 8 10 11 11 14 19 20
"Is it a code (代码)?" he thought. "Maybe it's an alphabet (字母) code!" Drake shouted. When he matched the numbers to the letters of the alphabet, this is what he had:
A A E E E H J K K N S T
Case solved!
"This doesn't make sense (合理)," he said, disappointed (失望的) and discouraged. He kept moving the letters around. Finally, he had it: JAKE THE _________.
Drake called the Chief. "That, Jake, is your man."
"I knew I was right to call you and could always count on you!" said the Chief.

### 四、阅读理解
德雷克侦探正把脚搭在桌子上打盹，这时电话响了。他打了个哈欠，然后拿起了电话。“喂？”他说道，“我接这个案子。我马上出发去见你。”德雷克拿起他的雨伞（这把伞适合外面的雨天使用），然后走进了喧闹的城市。
#### 案件
德雷克匆匆赶到警察局。“我们一直收到一些没做完的数学题邮件，”局长说道，“这些邮件都署名‘猜猜我是谁？’。每天信件的数量都在增加。我们收到的越来越多。它们把邮件室都堵住了。”
德雷克看了看局长手里的纸。他仔细看了一封信的线索：
$□ + 32 = 51$ 猜猜我是谁？
#### 收集线索
“‘guessss’这个单词拼写不对，”德雷克若有所思地说道。“把线索给我，局长，”他说道，“如果有人问你，就说我建议你不要讨论这个案子。”德雷克拿着线索回到了他的办公室。首先，他填上了缺失的数字。然后，他把数字写在了一个笔记本上：
1 1 5 5 5 8 10 11 11 14 19 20
“这是一个代码吗？”他想道，“也许这是一个字母代码！”德雷克喊道。当他把这些数字和字母表中的字母对应起来时，他得到了这样的结果：
A A E E E H J K K N S T
#### 案件告破！
“这不合理，”他说道，既失望又气馁。他不停地把这些字母重新排列。最后，他得出了结果：JAKE THE _________（杰克是那个_________）。
德雷克打电话给局长。“那个杰克就是你要找的人。”
“我就知道打电话找你是对的，我一直都能指望你！”局长说道。
