七、阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题(第1题2分,第2题2分,第3题3分,共7分)
Now there are so many detectives in fiction (小说) that detective stories are considered their own genre (类型). Where did this genre come from? Most people think detective stories were created by US writer Edgar Allan Poe. His detective was named C. Auguste Dupin.
Poe created Dupin before anyone heard the word “detective”. So he is usually considered “Father of Detective Fiction”. In Poe’s stories, Dupin is skilled at guessing the thoughts of others by noticing the smallest details. He also has a good friend who tells his stories and explains certain details to readers.
Does that sound familiar (熟悉的)? Writer Conan Doyle used Poe’s style as a blueprint (蓝图) for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. He was influenced by Poe.
But Dupin’s way of solving cases is different. By knowing everything that a criminal knows, he can solve any crime. Take The Purloined Letter as an example, which is about finding a letter that is hidden by a minister (大臣). Dupin places himself in the mind of the minister and realizes that the minister would have hidden the letter in the most obvious (明显的) place. Another thing Dupin is famous for is that he sometimes solves cases and helps people without getting paid. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he is such a popular character.
1. Who created Sherlock Holmes?
2. What do the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Dupin have in common (共同的)?
3. What do you think of the great detective Dupin?

七、阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题（第1题2分，第2题2分，第3题3分，共7分）
如今小说中有如此多的侦探，以至于侦探故事被视为一种独立的类型。这种类型从何而来？大多数人认为侦探故事是由美国作家埃德加·爱伦·坡创作的。他笔下的侦探名叫C.奥古斯特·杜宾。
坡在“侦探”这个词为人所知之前就创造了杜宾。所以他通常被认为是“侦探小说之父”。在坡的故事中，杜宾擅长通过留意最细微的细节来猜测他人的想法。他还有一个好朋友，这个朋友会讲述他的故事并向读者解释某些细节。
这听起来熟悉吗？作家柯南·道尔以坡的风格为蓝图创作了夏洛克·福尔摩斯和约翰·华生。他受到了坡的影响。
但杜宾的破案方式有所不同。通过知晓罪犯所知道的一切，他能侦破任何案件。以《失窃的信》为例，这个故事是关于找到一封被一位大臣藏起来的信。杜宾设身处地站在大臣的角度思考，意识到大臣会把信藏在最显眼的地方。杜宾另一个出名的地方是，他有时破案并帮助人们却不收报酬。也许这就是他如此受欢迎的原因之一。
1. 谁创造了夏洛克·福尔摩斯？
2. 夏洛克·福尔摩斯和杜宾的故事有什么共同之处？
3. 你认为大侦探杜宾怎么样？

We all know that careless driving can lead to disasters. But sometimes we just forget about safety driving rules. Once，my family were going to have a picnic in the countryside. My father was driving. We were so glad that we kept talking and laughing all the time. My father kept turning around to talk with us. He didn't notice that he was driving on a narrow road and suddenly，we crashed into a tree! Luckily，no one got badly hurt. But this experience has made us realize that we can never be too careful when driving. Since then，I have been used to reminding my parents of the importance of driving safety. We should always try to guard against any possible danger around us.
