D Nowadays,there areso many detectives (in novels that detective stories are considered their own type.Where did this typecomefrom?Most people think detective stories were created by 第5页（共8页） US writer Edgar Allan Poe.His detective was named C.Auguste Dupin,and first appeared in 1841.

But Dupin's way of solving cases is different.He enters the mind of the cnminal (and then tries to think the same way as the criminal.By knowing everythiog 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.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.For example,in one story,Dupin helps a man for free who was charged for a crime be hadn't done.Perhaps this is one of the reasons he is such a popular character. 37 What is Dupin good at? A.He is good at creating words. B.He is good at guessing what other people are thinking by noticing details. C.He is good at explaining certain detalls to readers. D.He is good at hiding things.

B.Because the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are written by Poe. C.Because Dupin's stories are based on the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. D.Because Poe was influenced by Conan Doyle,the writer of the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. )39.Why is Dupin's way of solving cases different? A.He imagines talking with the criminal. B.He asks his good friend's ideas about the crime. C.He tries to think the same way as the criminal. D.He asks other detectives to help him. ( )40.Which of the following is true?
