Mr dear Holmes,

I hope you are well. Here are some facts about the Baskerville case.

Last Thursday:

Dr Mortimer and the Stapletons lunched with us. After lunch, the good doctor took us all to the path where Sir Charles d【1】 . It is a long path. We saw the gate at which the poor man had smoked his cigar. It is a white wooden gate, and beyond i【2】 lies the moor. I tried to imagine what f【3】 had made Sir Charles run to his death on that dark night. What was he trying to run away from? Was it an ordinary dog? Or was it the ghostly black hound- the Hound of the Baskervilles? Does Barrymore know m【4】 than he has told us?

Last night

You are aware that I am a light sleeper. Last night, about two in the morning, I woke up s【5】 . A stealthy step was passing my room. I rose, opened my door, and looked out. Barrymore, the butler, was walking softly down the passage with a c【6】 in his hand. I f【7】 him. He went into one of the rooms and over to the window, with the candle held a【8】 the glass. He stood there looking out of the window for a few minutes. He gave a deep groan (呻吟) and then put out the light. I got back to my room right away and soon after I heard a key turn in a lock s【9】 but I could not tell where the sound came. I’ll tell you, Holmes, there are some s【10】in this big dark house, but we are going to discover them.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要讲的是针对Baskerville案件，作者所想和所经历的。

【1】句意：午饭后，好医生把我们都带到查尔斯爵士死的那条小路上。

根据所在位置可知，应该填的是动词，根据文章第四行“had made Sir Charles run to his death on that dark night”可知，应该是死，die意为“死”，时态是一般过去时，die的过去式是died，故填died。

【2】句意：在它的后面是荒野。

根据所给空前面的句子“It is a white wooden gate”可知，应该是在它后面，it意为“它”，故填it。

【3】句意：我试着想象在那个漆黑的夜晚是什么样的恐惧使查尔斯死去的。

根据所给空后面的句子“had made Sir Charles run to his death on that dark nigh”可知，应该说的是什么恐惧，由f开头的单词可知，应该是fear意为“恐惧”，故填fear。

【4】句意：Barrymore知道的比他告诉我们的多吗？

根据所给空后面的句子“he has told us”和前面的“Barrymore know”可知，应该是他知道的比告诉我们的多吗？more than意为“多于”，故填more。

【5】句意：我突然醒了。

根据所给空前面的woke up可知，应该填的是副词修饰动词，由所给空前面的“Last night, about two in the morning”可知，应该是突然醒了，suddenly意为“突然地”，故填suddenly。

【6】句意：Barrymore手里拿着蜡烛轻轻地走在过道上。

根据所给空前面的a可知，应该填的是可数名词单数，由后文的“with the candle held”可知，应该是蜡烛，candle意为“蜡烛”，故填candle。

【7】句意：我跟着他。

根据所在位置可知，应该填的是动词，时态是一般过去时，所以要填动词的过去式，由后文“He went into one of the rooms and over to the window”可知，应该是跟着，follow意为“跟着”，过去式是followed，故填followed。

【8】句意：他把蜡烛靠在玻璃上。

根据后文的“He stood there looking out of the window for a few minutes”可知，应该是靠在玻璃上，against意为“紧靠”，故填against。

【9】句意：不久，我听到某个地方锁上了钥匙，但我不知道声音是从哪里来的。

根据所给空后面的句子“but I could not tell where the sound came”可知，应该是某处，somewhere意为“某处”，故填somewhere。

【10】句意：在这个黑暗的大房子里有一些秘密。

根据所给空前面的some可知，应该填的是可数名词复数，由后文的“but we are going to discover them”可知，应该是秘密，secret意为“秘密”复数形式是secrets，故填secrets。
