Ⅱ 完形填空（共10小题，计20分）

The crime stories are attractive. The readers can have the same 9_________ as the detective to solve the crime. But in the stories of Galileo, the writer is playing with his readers. Galileo always introduces some facts the readers have no way of knowing.

Galileo was an Italian scientist. 10_________ in the books of the Japanese writer Higashino Keigo, a famous Japanese writer of detective fiction, Galileo is a wise detective. His real name is Manabu Yukawa and he works at a university as a physics professor. He is the 11_________ character in Higashino Keigo’s Galileo series. Yukawa is as smart as Galileo and has great 12_________ for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for help to solve hard cases.

Yukawa is a calm person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in physics. So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows no 13_________. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very active. While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes full use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may 14_________ do experiments to prove his thoughts.

Most cases that Yukawa solves seem supernatural and 15_________. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died of head burns at an evening party. The police believe it to be an accident caused by firecrackers. But Yukawa doesn’t think it could be that 16_________. He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his thoughts—it was a high-tech 17_________ that used mirrors and a laser.

Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. Unluckily, he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women. So the result is—he is still 18_________.

9 A.progress   B.chance

C.reward   D.effort

10 A.But  B.And   C.So    D.Or

11 A.major   B.fixed

C.only    D.loyal

“Who shot her?” cried Mr Rogers as he rushed to enter the hospital three minutes after his ex-wife died from a gunshot through her head.

“Just a minute, Mr Rogers,” said Detective Timo. “We have to ask you a few questions first. Although you have been divorced for the past six months, you still live in the same house with your ex-wife, Mary Ann, right?”

“That’s right,” replied Mr Rogers.

“Did you have trouble recently?”

“Well…yesterday, when I told her I was going on a business trip, she threatened to kill herself. I had to take a bottle of iodine quickly from her hands because she was about to drink it. When I left last night at seven, I told her I was spending the night with friends in Sewickley. She didn’t argue. And I got back to town this afternoon,” continued Mr Rogers, “I called home and the maid answered.”

“Just what did she say?” asked Detective Timo.

“She said, ‘Oh, Mr Rogers, they took the poor mistress to St. Ann’s Hospital about half an hour ago. Please hurry to her.  She was crying, so I couldn’t get anything else out of her. Then I hurried here. Where is she?”

“The nurse will show you,” said Detective Timo with a nod.

“A strange case,”said the police.“This couple is a little too much for me! A man and a woman lived together after being divorced for six months!”

“Did anyone tell Mr Rogers that Mary Ann died from a gunshot before he arrived?” asked Detective Timo, deep in thought.

“Nobody did. I ordered everyone who knows the details of the case not to discuss it.”

“That’s the point. You’d better detain(拘留) Mr Rogers. If he didn’t shoot her himself, I’m sure he knows who did.”

22 Where did the police and Detective Timo talk with Mr Rogers?

A.In Mr Rogers’ friend’s home.

B.In the hospital.

C.In Mr Rogers’ home.

D.At the police station.
