六、阅读理解
The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn't until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted (被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence.
Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller's wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.
Hiller's wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.
The only problem was that no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller's wife, only several hours before Hiller's death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint.
During the trial (审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller's murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.
1.What helped the police convict the murderer of Hiller?
2.Which paragraph shows how Hiller was killed?
A. Paragraph 1.
B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 3.
D. Paragraph 4.
3.What is the right order of the case?
①The stranger shot Hiller twice and ran away.
②Jennings was convicted of Hiller's murder.
③Hiller saw a stranger at the top of the stairs.
④Hiller painted some wood near the kitchen window.
⑤The police found Jennings' fingerprints in the wet paint.
⑥The police caught Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.
A. ③④①⑤⑥②
B. ③④⑤①②⑥
C. ④③①⑤②⑥
D. ④③①⑥⑤②
4.How does the writer end the passage?
A. By drawing a conclusion.
B. By providing a surprise ending.
C. By leading in a question.
D. By showing an endless discussion.
