With its common interest in lawbreaking but its immense range of subject matter and widely-varying methods of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a separate branch of literature, or, at least, as a distinct, even though a slightly disreputable, offshoot of the traditional novel,
The detective story is probably the most respectable (at any rate in the narrow sense of the word) of the crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of university teachers, literary economists, scientists or even poets. Fatalities may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society, but the world in which they happen, the village, seaside resort, college or studio, is familiar to us, if not from our own experience, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. The characters, though normally realized superficially, are as recognizably human and consistent as our less intimate associates. A story set in a more remote environment, African jungle, or Australian bush, ancient China or gas-lit London, appeals to our interest in geography or history, and most detective story writers are conscientious in providing a reasonably authentic background. The elaborate, carefully assembled plot, despised by the modern intellectual critics and creators of significant novels, has found refuge in the murder mystery, with its sprinkling of clues, its spicing with apparent impossibilities, all with appropriate solutions and explanations at the end. With the guilt of escapism from real life nagging gently, we secretly revel in the unmasking of evil by a vaguely super-human detective, who sees through and dispels the cloud of suspicion which has hovered so unjustly over the innocent.
Though its villain also receives his rightful deserts, the thriller presents a less comfortable and credible world. The sequence of fist fights, revolver duels, car crashes and escapes from gas-filled cellars exhausts the reader far more than the hero, who, suffering from at least two broken ribs, one black eye, uncountable braises and a hangover, can still chase and overpower an armed villain with the physique of a wrestler. He moves dangerously through a world of ruthless gangs, brutality, a vicious lust for power and money and, in contrast to the detective tale, with a near-omniscient arch-criminal whose defeat seems almost accidental. Perhaps we miss in the thriller the security of being safely led by our imperturbable investigator past a score of red herrings and blind avenues to a final gathering of suspects when an unchallengeable elucidation of all that has bewildered us is given and justice and goodness prevail, All that we vainly hope for from life is granted vicariously. [br] In what way are the detective story and thriller unlike?

答案
D
解析
归纳理解题,问侦探小说和惊悚小说的差异。需要在理解第二段和第三段主要内容的基础上,归纳这两种小说的不同特点从而找出差异。解题进可以使用排除法:选项A“引导人接触暴行”不成立,因为本文介绍侦探小说时未交待这种类型小说中是否有“暴行”、如何描写的:B“给人兴奋和悬念”不对的原因是两种小说中都有这些内容,并不是差异;C“对读者智力上的好奇心有兴趣”也找不到根据:只有最后一项D“最终都有一个圆满的结果”能在文章的倒数第二句找出根据,原文是“Perhaps we miss in the thriller...也许在惊悚小说中我们找不到……”,而这些找不到的内容却正是侦探小说中有的,这正好是两者的差异所在,两者相比时,对miss一词要有一定的敏感度。
