7.Holmes said,"Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India,and arrived seven weeks later to kill John's uncle.Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John's father.Now they have sent five pips to John from London!"
"The letters are all from sea ports (海港).The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,"I replied.
"Very good,Watson!And John's enemy is in London already!"
"Well,I hope they won't kill young John,"I said.
But they did.The next morning,we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station.Holmes was very angry about it.
"He came to me for help and those men murdered him!I'm going to find them,if it's the last thing I do!"he said to me,and he hurried out of the house.
At night,when he came back,he was tired,but pleased,he said,"I know the names of John's enemies!And now I'm going to send them a surprise!This will frighten them!"He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封).On it he wrote"S.H.for  J.C.."
"I'm sending the pips to captain James Calhoun.His ship is called the Star.He and his men are sailing back to Georgia,USA."
"How did you find him,Holmes?"I asked.
"Ship's papers,"he said,"I've looked at hundreds of them today.Only one ship,the Star,was in the three ports at the right times,this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia.I found out that the captain and two of his men,all Americans,weren't on the ship last night,so I'm sure they killed John.When they arrive in America,they'll get the pips and then the police will catch them!"

分析 福爾摩斯說(shuō),"有人從印度寄了一封信和五個(gè)桔核,到達(dá)七周后殺死約翰的叔叔.然后他們發(fā)送了五個(gè)桔核到蘇格蘭,到達(dá)后三天殺死約翰的父親.現(xiàn)在他們已經(jīng)發(fā)送五個(gè)桔核給來(lái)自倫敦的約翰!"信都是從海港郵來(lái)的.作者是在船上時(shí)寫(xiě)的信,"我回答說(shuō)."很好,華森!約翰的敵人已經(jīng)在倫敦了!""好吧,我希望他們不會(huì)殺死年輕人,"我說(shuō).第二天早上,我們?cè)趫?bào)紙上看到一個(gè)警察發(fā)現(xiàn)他死在一個(gè)沃特盧站附近,福爾摩斯非常生氣."他來(lái)向我尋求幫助,那些人殺了他!如果是我做的最后一件事,我會(huì)找到他們的!"他對(duì)我說(shuō),他急忙走出了房子.晚上,當(dāng)他回來(lái)時(shí),他感到很累,但很高興,他說(shuō):"我知道約翰的敵人的名字!現(xiàn)在我要給他們一個(gè)驚喜!這會(huì)嚇到他們!"他從桔子里拿了五個(gè)桔核,把它們放在一個(gè)信封里.在他寫(xiě)的"S.H.for J.C.""我郵寄這封信給杰姆斯卡爾霍恩隊(duì)長(zhǎng).他的船被稱(chēng)為"明星".他和他的人航行回到美國(guó)的佐治亞州.""你是怎么找到他的,福爾摩斯?"."船舶文件,"他說(shuō),"今天我已經(jīng)看了成百上千的文件.只有一艘船,明星號(hào)在正確的時(shí)間出現(xiàn)在這三個(gè)地區(qū),這個(gè)早晨明星號(hào)離開(kāi)倫敦啟程回格魯吉亞.我發(fā)現(xiàn)船長(zhǎng)和他的兩個(gè)男人,所有的美國(guó)人,最后一個(gè)晚上都不在船上,所以我肯定他們殺害了約翰.當(dāng)他們抵達(dá)美國(guó),他們將收到桔核,然后警察就來(lái)抓他們!

解答 37.B.根據(jù)The next morning,we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station.Holmes was very angry about it.可知福爾摩斯對(duì)于約翰的死很生氣.故選:B38.D.根據(jù)His ship is called the Star.He and his men are sailing back to Georgia,USA."可知這艘船是去美國(guó),故選:D.
39.A.根據(jù)"I'm sending the pips to captain James Calhoun.可知這封信是寄給James Calhoun 的,所以這個(gè)符號(hào)代表的是James Calhoun,故選:A.
40.D.根據(jù)第一段可知顯示約翰收到了5個(gè)桔核,然后他來(lái)求助福爾摩斯,結(jié)果被殺了,于是福爾摩斯就想出來(lái)給James Calhoun一封信里面有5個(gè)桔核,故選D
