【解析】

本文是關(guān)于查爾斯·巴斯克維爾爵士的離奇死亡展開的一段有關(guān)福爾摩斯探案的一個經(jīng)過。

【1】句意：為他的朋友查爾斯·巴斯克維爾爵士的離奇死亡提供幫助。

根據(jù)句意理解及文章可知，這里表示離奇的死亡，離奇的也就是不同尋常的，英語中平常的是usual，不同尋常的是unusual，所以這里填unusual。

【2】句意：一個患有嚴(yán)重心臟病的虛弱老人。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示患……病，英語中患病是suffer from，而suffer與old man之間存在主動關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞表主動，所以這里應(yīng)該填suffering。

【3】句意：因為他的祖先雨果·巴斯克維爾寫了一封信，警告他這個傳說他的外甥以及他的財產(chǎn)繼承人。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示警告，英語中是warn，文章介紹的是過去的事情，所以應(yīng)該用過去式，所以這里填warned。

【4】句意：盡管可能有危險，亨利還是決定住在巴斯克維爾大廳。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句Si Henry still decided to live in Baskervilles Hall中的still仍然可知，這里表示盡管，英語中是despite，位于句首，所以填Despite。

【5】句意：他的一個兄弟失蹤了。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句who later turned out to/be Mrs. Barrymore's brother, and the couple were helping him by o______7______him food and old clothes of Sir Henry.可知，應(yīng)該是他的一個兄弟，而這里one of后面要接復(fù)數(shù)名詞，所以這里填brothers。

【6】句意：他遇到了斯臺普頓，和他美麗的妹妹巴里摩爾和他的妻子，大廳里的管家和其他人住在一起。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示管家，英語中管家是housekeeper，特指，故填housekeeper。

【7】句意：這對夫婦向他提供食物和亨利爵士的舊衣服來幫助他。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示提供……，英語中提供有provide/ supply/ offer，而題目后面直接是sb sth，所以這里應(yīng)該選擇offer，而空格前是介詞，所以應(yīng)該ing形式，所以這里填offering。

【8】句意：查爾斯爵士死那天等著的那個人的名字是L.L.。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示他死的那一天，所以這里應(yīng)該填死，動作發(fā)生在過去，所以這里應(yīng)該是過去時，所以填died。

【9】句意：他告訴沃森斯臺普頓就是兇手。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示兇手，英語中表示為murder，這里表達的是單數(shù)概念，所以這里直接填murder。

【10】句意：所以他們設(shè)了一個陷阱在現(xiàn)場抓住他。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表示設(shè)置一個陷阱，英語中陷阱是trap，而這里表示一個陷阱，所以直接填trap。
