七、阅读短文,回答问题(第1—3题每小题2分,第4题3分,共9分)
Now there are so many detectives in fiction (小说) that detective stories are considered their own genre (类型). Where did this genre come from? Most people think detective stories were created by US writer Edgar Allan Poe. His detective was named C. Auguste Dupin.
Poe created Dupin before anyone heard the word “detective”. So he is usually considered “Father of Detective Fiction”. In Poe’s stories, Dupin is skilled at guessing the thoughts of others by noticing the smallest details. He also has a good friend who helps tell his stories and explain certain details to readers.
Does that sound familiar (熟悉的)? Writer Conan Doyle used Poe’s style as a blueprint (蓝图) for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. He was influenced by Poe.
But Dupin’s way of solving cases is different. By knowing everything 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 (大臣). 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. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he is such a popular character.
