HeisthewriterwhowroteabiographyofChristie.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文主要介绍以写谋杀故事而成为世界著名推理小说家的AgathaChristie以及她的作品。（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中Inher50-yearwritingprofession,Christie'smurderstoriesmadehertheworld'sbest-knownmystery(神秘)writer.(在克里斯蒂50年的写作生涯中，她的谋杀故事使她成为世界上最著名的神秘作家。)可知，AgathaChristie写谋杀故事。故选D。（2）推理判断题。根据第二段中Inher50-yearwritingprofession,Christie'smurderstoriesmadehertheworld'sbest-knownmystery(神秘)writer.OnlytheBibleandShakespeare'sworkshavesoldmorecopiesthanher.（在她50年的写作生涯中，克里斯蒂的谋杀故事使她成为世界上最著名的神秘作家。只有《圣经》和莎士比亚的作品比她卖得多。）可知，克里斯蒂是世界第三畅销作家。故选C。（3）推理判断题。根据第三段中"Herworkhascontinuingappealforviewers,"saiddirectorLauraMackie."Thereisalwaysadesireforareallygooddetectivenovel."可知，LauraMackie认为她的作品对观众有着持续的吸引力，人们总是渴望一本真正好的侦探小说。因此在Mackie看来，克里斯蒂的小说之所以会对观众产生持续的吸引力是因为人们渴望读真正好的侦探小说。故选D。（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Herfirstnovel,TheMysteriousAffairatStyles,introducedHerculePoirot,aretiredBelgianpoliceofficerwhostarredin30ofherworks.可知，HerculePoirot是克里斯蒂30部作品中的男主角。故选B。【点评】考查阅读理解。介绍人物类阅读理解要专注人物的生平和成就，抓住文章细节，而且要理解全文，把握文章主旨。结合上下文合理概括，做有依据的推理。8．阅读短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
