问题     Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the great detective in fiction. He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
    In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as ‘tall and manner”. Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B. Of course, there never was really any such address. Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy (愚笨的) Dr. Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did. Poor Dr. Watson lost out to Holmes every time.
    Doyle gave Holmes a masterly skill of deduction-the ability to come up with interesting conclusions from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime.
    Conan Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modelled on one of his lectures at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine. The man was Dr. Joseph Bell.
    The name of Sherlock Holmes first came to be shown in Doyle’s A study in Scarlet published in 1887. Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in angrily. They refused to allow Holmes to die! Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.
    The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then. Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.
Doyle made up the description of Holmes (          ).
选项 A、from his own imagination
B、based on a famous London doctor
C、based on Dr. Joseph Bell at Edinburgh University
D、based on a model of Holmes
答案C
解析 根据第四段……Holmes was modeled on和 The man was Dr. Joseph Bell。可 以判断 Holmes是用 Dr. Joseph为原型进行创作的。而A 强调的处于作者的想象。B项强调的是基于一个出名的伦敦医生。D项指的是基于福尔摩斯的原型。因此答案选C项。
