七、阅读理解(15分,每题3分)
Detective stories are popular around the world because they keep readers guessing until the end. A good detective story usually has a clever detective, a puzzling crime, and many suspects with secrets.
In most detective stories, a crime happens at the beginning—maybe a theft, a robbery, or even a murder. The detective arrives to investigate. He or she looks for clues at the crime scene, like fingerprints, footprints, or broken windows. These clues can help the detective figure out what happened.
Next, the detective interviews witnesses and suspects. Witnesses may have seen something important, while suspects often have something to hide. The detective listens carefully to their stories and checks their alibis—proof that they were somewhere else when the crime happened.
As the story goes on, the detective puts the clues together. Sometimes there are red herrings—false clues that make the reader think someone is guilty, but they're not. This makes the story more exciting.
Finally, the detective solves the case. He or she explains how all the clues fit together and reveals who the criminal is. The best detective stories surprise readers with the solution, but when the detective explains it, everything makes sense.
( ) 1. What makes detective stories popular
A. They are short and easy to read. B. They keep readers guessing until the end.
C. They always have happy endings. D. They are about famous people.
( ) 2. What do detectives look for at the crime scene
A. Witnesses. B. Suspects. C. Clues. D. Alibis.
( ) 3. What is an alibi
A. A false clue. B. Proof that someone was elsewhere during the crime.
C. A witness's story. D. A broken window or footprint.
( ) 4. What are "red herrings" in a detective story
A. Clever detectives. B. True clues that lead to the criminal.
C. False clues that mislead readers. D. Witnesses who lie.
( ) 5. How does a good detective story end
A. The crime remains unsolved. B. The detective is revealed as the criminal.
C. The solution surprises readers but makes sense. D. The suspects escape.

书面表达范文
A Mysterious Case I Heard
Last month, a mysterious theft happened in our neighborhood. A valuable painting was stolen from Mr. Li's house while he was on vacation. The house door wasn't broken, which made the police think the thief might be someone Mr. Li knew.
The detective in charge checked the security cameras first and found a man wearing a mask entering the house at midnight. He then interviewed Mr. Li's neighbors and friends. One neighbor said she saw Mr. Li's former assistant visit the house a few days before the theft. The detective checked the assistant's alibi and found he had lied about where he was that night.
Finally, the police searched the assistant's home and found the painting hidden in his basement. He admitted he stole it because he needed money. I was surprised that someone Mr. Li trusted would do such a thing. It taught me that appearances can be deceiving, and solving a case needs careful investigation.
