He fascinated Victorian England with his 【1】 skill at cracking cases, based on astute (机敏的) logical reasoning and grasp of forensic science, not to mention a 【2】 of disguises and encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal underclass.
But this detective was not Sherlock Holmes but a real life investigator, Jerome Caminada, who, as a new research suggests, helped inspire Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s celebrated hero.
A biography of Caminada reveals a series of 【3】 similarities between him and the fictional character, in terms of their unorthodox methods and character. It also establishes strong 【4】 between the real detective’s cases and plot lines used by Doyle. The author, Angela Buckley, has even established that Caminada’s casework involved 【5】 an alluring (迷人的) and talented criminal, similar to Irene Adler, and that the detective even had a Moriarty-like nemesis who plagued him over the course of several cases until a final, dramatic confrontation. Mrs. Buckley said, “Caminada became a national figure at just the time that Sherlock Holmes was being created. There are so many parallels that it is clear Doyle was using parts of this real 【6】 for his.”
The son of an Italian father and Irish mother, Caminada was based in Manchester, but was involved in cases which took him across the country, and he enjoyed a nationwide profile in the press, where 【7】 of his exploits were widely reported. Most of his career was spent with Manchester City Police Force although he later 【8】, like Holmes, as a “consulting detective”. As the fictional character relied on a network of underworld contacts — the Baker Street Irregulars — so Caminada was known for his extensive web of 【9】, whom he would often meet in the back pew of a church. These characters helped him build up an encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal fraternity, among whom he would often move in disguise—another tactic in common with Holmes. Like his fictional counterpart, Caminada was noted for his tendency to wander the streets of the roughest neighborhoods alone at night, 【10】 intervening in any crimes he encountered.

【题目】Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think aboutthemselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accepttheir weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about______.
A. the cause of shyness B. the effect of shyness on people
C. the feelings of shy people D. the questions in the minds of shy people
【2】According to the writer, self-awareness is______.
A. harmful to people B. a weak point of shy people
C. the cause of unhappiness D. a good characteristic
【3】What is the shy people's reaction to praise?
A. They are pleased by it. B. They feel it is not true.
C. They are very sensitive to it. D. They feel they are worthy of it.
【4】We can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.
A. block our chances for a successful life
B. help us to live up to our full development
C. enable us to understand ourselves better
D. have nothing to do with lack of self respect

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
【1】 (die) of a broken heart sounds like the ending of a romantic story. But it actually happens. The 'broken heart syndrome(心碎综合征) ', 【2】 (official) calledTakotsubo syndrome, or TTS, involves the sudden weakening of heart muscles. This causes the left ventricle(心室), which pushes oxygen-rich blood through the body, 【3】(expand) abnormally at the bottom.
The scientific community has studied how unexpected emotional shocks can cause a heart attack. These shocks are usually unpleasant, such as the death of a family member or a violent 【4】 (argue). Recently, however, researchers discovered that even 【5】 (delight) events can give the same result. A team of researchers in Switzerland 【6】(collect) data on 1,750 cases of the Takotsubo syndrome. The team found that emotional shocks caused 485 of those 1,750 cases. And within that group of 485, 【7】 total of 20 people could be said to have suffered from 'happy heart syndrome', 【8】 causes include a favorite team winning a game and the birth of a grandchild. 【9】interesting finding is that TTS affects mostly women.
Happy and sad life events are, of course, very different. 【10】(far) studies are also needed to figure out if both events share the same pathway in the central nervous system for causing Takotsubo syndrome.
