《2025年初中英语拓展听力与阅读课堂突破九年级英语全一册译林版》

（ ）2. Who was the best at solving difficult cases according to the passage?
A. The writer.
B. Germain.
C. Dupin.
D. Minister Danton.

答案： C
解析：根据文章内容，Germain无法解决案件，向Dupin求助，Dupin最终找到信件，可知Dupin最擅长解决疑难案件，C选项正确，故选C。

（ ）3. Dupin did all the following things to help get the letter back EXCEPT ______.
A. wearing his dark glasses when visiting Danton’s house
B. leaving his gloves purposely behind in Danton’s house
C. hiring a man to fire a gun on the street the next morning
D. writing some words on the letter he put into the letter holder

答案： D
解析：根据倒数第二段“Then I purposely left my gloves behind...”、倒数第三段“Dupin explained... I might have left the letter out in the open... Then I visited him with my dark glasses on...”和最后一段“The next morning，I hired a man to fire a gun on the street... On it Dupin wrote these words...”可知，Dupin在替换的信上写字，而非放入信架的原信，D选项表述错误，故选D。
