Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans. One explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people. So, for example when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a changelinga fairy babyor that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk. While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16yearold Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nineyearold Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were not real, while others weren39。t sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more that the girls took for him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were not real years later in 1983, and that they created them using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.（1）What does the underlined words this idea in Paragraph 2 refer to?

This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. ”居住在遠離社會的地方，這些隱藏起來的人可能偷食物和襲擊村莊。這可能就解釋了為什么仙子常常被描述為捉弄人類的形象?？芍?，仙子常常被描述為捉弄人類的形象是因為它們可能偷食物和襲擊村莊。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real.”但是Arthur Conan Doyle，福爾摩斯偵探小說的作者，相信它們是真的，可知，Arthur Conan Doyle相信Elsie Wright拍的那兩張照片是真的。故選A。 （4）考查推理判
