九年级上册英语 Unit8 练习二 一、阅读理解 That evening Holmes again wore different clothes, and a large, black hat. But it was not just the clothes that were different. He changed his face, his hair—everything. He was a different man. We walked together to Serpentine Avenue. Outside the house there were a lot of people who were smoking, laughing and talking. Holmes and I walked up and down in front of the house. “You see,” said Holmes to me, “I don’t think she wants her new husband to see the photo. But where is it? At her bank? No. Such a woman likes to keep important things herself. I’m sure it’s in her house.”“But the King’s men tried to find it!” I said. “Yes. But they didn’t know where to look for it!” said Holmes. “But how will you know?” I asked. “She’ll show me. She’ll have to.” Just then Irene’s taxi arrived. One of the men in the street ran to open the door and then another man pushed him. Other men were also pushing and shouting, and a fight began. Irene was in the middle of it, but Holmes ran to help her. Then suddenly he fell to the ground, with blood running down his face. Irene hurried to her front door, but she looked back. “How kind of him to help me! Is the poor man hurt?” she called. “He’s dead,” cried some voices. “No, he’s only hurt,” cried others. “Bring him into the living room,” she said. Some people carried Holmes into the house. I waited outside the window and watched. I saw how beautiful Irene was. Then Holmes put up his hand, and I threw the smoke—stick into the room. At once, the people in the street and in the house all began to shout “Fire!” very loudly. The house was full of smoke. I walked away, and ten minutes later Holmes came to meet me. “Well done, Watson,” he said. “Have you got the photo?” I asked. “I know where it is. She showed me,” he answered. “But why did she show you?”“It’s easy,” he said, and laughed. “You saw all those people in the street? I paid them to help us. It wasn’t a real fight and the blood wasn’t real. When people shout ‘Fire!’, a woman runs to the most important thing in her house, her baby, her gold, or…a photo. Irene ran to find her photo which is in a cupboard in the living room. I saw it. But I did not take it.Tomorrow we will go to the palace and tell it to the King first. And then we will go to her house with the King. We’ll go very early, before she gets up. The King himself can take the photo from the cupboard. And then we’ll go.” ( )1.

It was very quiet before. Nothing much ever happened around here. But these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is very nervous.When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it might be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn't find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don't think so! Victor's next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. "At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn't see a dog or anything else, either. So I guess it can't+be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she was not sure.“I think it was too big to be a dog," she said.“Maybe it was a bear or a wolf." Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas.There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We don’t know.
