Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson were called to investigate. The necklace was last seen in the locked ballroom during a grand party. A witness reported seeing a suspicious figure wearing a black coat near the scene. Holmes carefully examined the room and found a small piece of torn cloth and a muddy footprint. "The thief must have entered through the window," he concluded. "Let’s check the security footage and interview all guests." 【全文翻译】 侦探在行动 今天清晨，塔克普夫人的豪宅中一条珍贵的钻石项链被盗。夏洛克・福尔摩斯和助手华生医生被请来调查此案。项链最后一次出现在锁着的舞厅里，当时正在举办一场盛大的派对。一名目击者称在现场附近看到一个穿黑外套的可疑人物。福尔摩斯仔细检查了房间，发现一小块碎布和一个泥脚印。“小偷一定是从窗户进来的，” 他推断道，“我们去查看监控录像，并询问所有宾客。” 【长难句分析】 1. The necklace was last seen in the locked ballroom during a grand party. 翻译：项链最后一次出现在锁着的舞厅里，当时正在举办一场盛大的派对。 分析： 被动语态（was last seen）强调动作的承受者 “项链”，符合侦探故事客观描述的特点。 介词短语 “in the locked ballroom” 和 “during a grand party” 分别说明地点和时间，形成时空关联，暗示案件发生的背景。 2. A witness reported seeing a suspicious figure wearing a black coat near the scene. 翻译：一名目击者称在现场附近看到一个穿黑外套的可疑人物。 分析： 复合宾语结构（reported seeing）中，动名词短语 “seeing...” 作宾语，表示目击者主动提供的信息。 现在分词短语 “wearing a black coat” 作后置定语，生动刻画可疑人物的特征，增强画面感。 3. Holmes carefully examined the room and found a small piece of torn cloth and a muddy footprint. 翻译：福尔摩斯仔细检查了房间，发现一小块碎布和一个泥脚印。 分析： 并列谓语（examined and found）体现侦探行动的连贯性，符合逻辑推理过程。 形容词 “torn” 和 “muddy” 修饰名词，暗示线索的来源（碎布可能来自嫌疑人衣物，泥脚印可能与室外环境相关）。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 汉语翻译 词性 发音（英式） 例句 detective 侦探 n. /dɪˈtektɪv/ Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective. investigate 调查 v. /ɪnˈvestɪɡeɪt/ The police are investigating the robbery. suspicious 可疑的 adj. /səˈspɪʃəs/ The man’s behavior seemed suspicious. conclude 推断；结束 v. /kənˈkluːd/ From the clues, Holmes concluded that the thief was a guest. security 安全；安保 n. /sɪˈkjʊərəti/ The mansion has tight security. interview 采访；询问 v. /ˈɪntəvjuː/ The detective will interview all the witnesses. evidence 证据 n. /ˈevɪdəns/ The footprint is important evidence. suspect 嫌疑人 n. /ˈsʌspekt/ The police have one suspect so far. witness 目击者 n. /ˈwɪtnəs/ A witness saw the thief escape. mansion 豪宅 n. /ˈmænʃən/ The party was held in a luxurious mansion. grand 盛大的 adj. /ɡrænd/ The grand party attracted many celebrities. torn 破损的 adj. /tɔːn/ The torn cloth matched the suspect’s coat. footprint 脚印 n. /ˈfʊtprɪnt/ The muddy footprint led the detective to the garden. 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A Dogs are great pets.

On entering, he saw Mr. Mole, but he said nothing to the mole about why he was there, and he carried on looking for the missing coin. The hare was also a great detective, and, before long, he too arrived at the tunnel. He was not a bit shy, and the first thing he did was to go and ask the mole if he knew where the coin was. The mole was all too pleased to lead the hare to the coin. That coin had been bothering (困扰) the mole for months, getting in the way of his tunnel. So the hare took the coin and collected his reward (奖赏). The mouse, who had been watching all this, learned a lot from it. From then on he would never allow shyness to undo (毁掉) all his good work.

You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs  (假发) , but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables got big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn’t catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 1．In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage? A．History B．Fashion C．Science D．Health 2．According to the passage, why do farmers mix cut hair into the soil? A．Hair can absorb nitrogen in the soil to keep it moist. B．Hair releases nitrogen as it breaks down to help plants grow. C．Hair prevents nitrogen from damaging crops. D．Hair replaces chemical fertilizers to reduce costs. 3．What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A．Give enough food to the sheep. B．Wash the sheep many times. C．Find living place for the sheep. D．Cut the wool off the sheep. 4．According to the passage, how can hair help solve crimes? A．By analyzing chemicals to study old cells. B．By testing dangerous chemicals to check the food and water. C．By using trace chemicals to determine a person’s identity. D．By detecting chemicals to guess the name of the criminal. 5．How is the passage organized? A． B． C． D． 二、完形填空 从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。 Being a police officer is hard work, but it can also be very interesting, especially when you solve a difficult case.

However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, a 35-year-old man from Shanghai, is quite famous in this new business. He entered the business early. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance. He decided to become a pet detective. At first, he met with opposition from his family because it was a new industry. And it was not easy to make money by finding an animal. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now Liu has a 12-person team working with him. They have about 30 orders every month. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. When he starts to search for a missing pet, the pet owners will tell Liu many details like the pet’s looks, hobbies, health history and others. This is very important. Then Liu waits in the long grass secretly, checks underground pipelines (管道) carefully and searches in the parking lots. To find a missing pet, it’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring (雇佣) a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost a few thousand to more than 10,000yuan depending on the area, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. So far, Liu’s team has helped reunite (使团聚) more than 1,000 lost cats, dogs and birds with their worried, sad owners. 1．Do real-life pet detectives take their jobs seriously? 2．Who disagreed with Liu’s decision to become a pet detective? 3．What will the pet owners do when Liu starts to search for a missing pet? 4．Why has the pet detective business grown in China recently? 5．What’s passage mainly about? 四、短文填空 A 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 “He was hardly more than five feet, four inches tall, but carried himself with great dignity (自豪). His head was exactly the s 1 of an egg…” With this description, Agatha Christie introduced Hercule Poirot in her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles. In the century since, the name Poirot has become familiar a 2 the world. Back then, however, the retired Belgian (比利时的) policeman had just e 3 from his war-torn homeland. After he had just settled down in a sleepy English village, he got caught up in the mystery surrounding the murder of a wealthy elderly lady. Many cases Poirot took on were hard to solve. But as he often said, “The simplest explanation is a 4 the most likely.” It just takes the little grey cells, a close eye for detail and a bit of self-confidence. As Poirot found throughout his career, the most ordinary clues could prove to be the most important. Murder (凶手) seemed to f 5 Poirot wherever he went, from rural England to the River Nile (尼罗河). The detective (侦探) did make mistakes, but he always got his man, woman or both. Poirot could be annoying sometimes—he was too proud of himself and believed he was simply c 6 than others. However, he was one of the best-loved characters in fiction. People liked him for his powerful understanding of human n 7 . The Belgian helped make Christie the world’s bestselling novelist. But after finishing 33 novels and 59 short stories starring Poirot, Christie herself became t 8 of the character. She killed him off in a novel she wrote during WWII, but this book was not p 9 until 1975. The New York Times then gave him a front-page obituary (讣告). Today, lots of people around the world still like Poirot. Many of his stories have been made into f 10 . B Tina was watching news when her father came back home from w 1 . Father asked her if there had b 2 something important today. Tina said that another murder had been solved by their top detective, Detective Lu. The c 3 took place between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. that night before. A young couple wanted to get downstairs but found a man lying in the doorway of the lift. They have got quite s 4 . They called the police at once. At the scene, Detective Lu found a g 5 and a knife. He wasn’t sure whether the victim was m 6 by the gun or the knife. He took them back to check for f 7 . The top detective asked the couple if they had seen something. But they said they hadn’t seen or h 8 anything because they were having a party then. Detective Lu asked the same question to the cook. However, the cook said he had never seen the victim before. After two-days’ checking Detective Lu found that the cook had told a lie. F 9 , the cook was under a 10 for murder. 2 / 14 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Detectives （话题阅读精练） 模块 语篇主题 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 钻石项链被盗案调查 阅读理解 记叙文 约 200 清晨塔克普夫人豪宅钻石项链被盗，福尔摩斯与华生调查，发现碎布、泥脚印等线索，计划查监控、问宾客 实战演练 狗狗的类型与用途 阅读理解 说明文 约 300 介绍宠物犬及服务犬、治疗犬、嗅探犬、搜救犬四种工作犬，分别说明各类犬的职责与实例 森林动物寻硬币 记叙文 约 250 鸟丢失珍贵硬币，找兔子和老鼠帮忙，老鼠循线索到隧道却因害羞未问鼹鼠，兔子询问后找到硬币，老鼠从中领悟 头发的多种用途 说明文 约 300 介绍头发可助农作物生长、羊毛制保暖衣物、通过头发检测化学物质及破案等多种用途 侦探破行李箱藏钱案 完形填空 记叙文 约 250 布莱克侦探发现藏有钱的行李箱钱失踪，后经警局清洁工（集邮家）发现信封上珍贵邮票，找到钱并破案 宠物侦探刘威的工作 任务型阅读 记叙文 约 300 介绍现实中宠物侦探职业，以上海刘威为例，讲其入行经历、工作方式、行业发展及团队成就 侦探波洛相关介绍 短文填空 说明文 约 300 介绍阿加莎笔下侦探波洛的形象、破案理念、经历的案件，及作者后来厌倦该角色将其 “写死” 的情况 陆侦探破谋杀案 记叙文 约 250 讲述陆侦探侦破一起谋杀案的过程，现场发现枪和刀，经调查识破厨师谎言，最终厨师因谋杀被捕 时文阅读 Detectives on the Case Early this morning, a valuable diamond necklace was stolen from Lady Tuckup’s mansion.

The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut. Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs  (假发) , but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables got big a little faster. If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn’t catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes. Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more. 1．In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage? A．History B．Fashion C．Science D．Health 2．According to the passage, why do farmers mix cut hair into the soil? A．Hair can absorb nitrogen in the soil to keep it moist. B．Hair releases nitrogen as it breaks down to help plants grow. C．Hair prevents nitrogen from damaging crops. D．Hair replaces chemical fertilizers to reduce costs. 3．What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean? A．Give enough food to the sheep. B．Wash the sheep many times. C．Find living place for the sheep. D．Cut the wool off the sheep. 4．According to the passage, how can hair help solve crimes? A．By analyzing chemicals to study old cells. B．By testing dangerous chemicals to check the food and water. C．By using trace chemicals to determine a person’s identity. D．By detecting chemicals to guess the name of the criminal. 5．How is the passage organized? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了头发在农业、保暖、犯罪侦查等方面的多种用途和价值。 1．推理判断题。根据“Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up?”并结合文章理解可知，文章主要是介绍头发的多种用途，应该是在杂志的科学板块能看到本文。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow.

However, real-life pet detectives are different from the noisy and funny detective Ventura in the movie. They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously. Liu Wei, a 35-year-old man from Shanghai, is quite famous in this new business. He entered the business early. In 2012, he read an article about pet detectives by chance. He decided to become a pet detective. At first, he met with opposition from his family because it was a new industry. And it was not easy to make money by finding an animal. However, Liu didn’t give up. Now Liu has a 12-person team working with him. They have about 30 orders every month. “It’s a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of efforts,” he said. When he starts to search for a missing pet, the pet owners will tell Liu many details like the pet’s looks, hobbies, health history and others. This is very important. Then Liu waits in the long grass secretly, checks underground pipelines (管道) carefully and searches in the parking lots. To find a missing pet, it’s very common for him to walk tens of thousands of steps a day. Liu also makes good use of modern tools while searching. The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring (雇佣) a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost a few thousand to more than 10,000yuan depending on the area, but it’s worth it for pet owners. “They are not animals. They are members of the family,” Liu said. So far, Liu’s team has helped reunite (使团聚) more than 1,000 lost cats, dogs and birds with their worried, sad owners. 1．Do real-life pet detectives take their jobs seriously? 2．Who disagreed with Liu’s decision to become a pet detective? 3．What will the pet owners do when Liu starts to search for a missing pet? 4．Why has the pet detective business grown in China recently? 5．What’s passage mainly about? 【答案】1．Yes. 2．His family. 3．They will tell Liu many details like the pet’s looks, hobbies, health history and others. 4．As/Because more people keep pets at home. 5．A pet detective. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了现实生活中的宠物侦探这一职业，重点介绍了上海的宠物侦探刘威进入该行业的经历、工作方式以及宠物侦探行业的发展情况。 1．根据文章第1段“They are trained experts who take their jobs very seriously.”可推知，现实生活中的宠物侦探认真对待他们的工作。故填Yes. 2．根据文章第2段“At first, he met with opposition from his family because it was a new industry.”可知，是他的家人不同意刘威成为宠物侦探的决定。故填His family. 3．根据文章第3段“When he starts to search for a missing pet, the pet owners will tell Liu many details like the pet’s looks, hobbies, health history and others.”可知答案。故填They will tell Liu many details like the pet’s looks, hobbies, health history and others. 4．根据文章第4段“The pet detective business has grown in China in recent years as more people keep pets at home.”可知，近年来中国宠物侦探业务发展是因为越来越多的人在家养宠物。故填As/Because more people keep pets at home. 5．文章开篇介绍现实生活中的宠物侦探与电影中的不同，接着重点讲述刘威从事宠物侦探的经历、工作情况等，所以文章主要是“一个宠物侦探”。故填A pet detective. 四、短文填空 A 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 “He was hardly more than five feet, four inches tall, but carried himself with great dignity (自豪).

After he had just settled down in a sleepy English village, he got caught up in the mystery surrounding the murder of a wealthy elderly lady. Many cases Poirot took on were hard to solve. But as he often said, “The simplest explanation is a 4 the most likely.” It just takes the little grey cells, a close eye for detail and a bit of self-confidence. As Poirot found throughout his career, the most ordinary clues could prove to be the most important. Murder (凶手) seemed to f 5 Poirot wherever he went, from rural England to the River Nile (尼罗河).
