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 福尔摩斯说,"有人从印度寄了一封信和五个桔核,到达七周后杀死约翰的叔叔.然后他们发送了五个桔核到苏格兰,到达后三天杀死约翰的父亲.现在他们已经发送五个桔核给来自伦敦的约翰!"信都是从海港邮来的.作者是在船上时写的信,"我回答说."很好,华森!约翰的敌人已经在伦敦了!""好吧,我希望他们不会杀死年轻人,"我说.第二天早上,我们在报纸上看到一个警察发现他死在一个沃特卢站附近,福尔摩斯非常生气."他来向我寻求帮助,那些人杀了他!如果是我做的最后一件事,我会找到他们的!"他对我说,他急忙走出了房子.晚上,当他回来时,他感到很累,但很高兴,他说:"我知道约翰的敌人的名字!现在我要给他们一个惊喜!这会吓到他们!"他从桔子里拿了五个桔核,把它们放在一个信封里.在他写的"S.H.for J.C.""我邮寄这封信给杰姆斯卡尔霍恩队长.他的船被称为"明星".他和他的人航行回到美国的佐治亚州.""你是怎么找到他的,福尔摩斯?"."船舶文件,"他说,"今天我已经看了成百上千的文件.只有一艘船,明星号在正确的时间出现在这三个地区,这个早晨明星号离开伦敦启程回格鲁吉亚.我发现船长和他的两个男人,所有的美国人,最后一个晚上都不在船上,所以我肯定他们杀害了约翰.当他们抵达美国,他们将收到桔核,然后警察就来抓他们!

解答 37.B.根据The next morning,we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station.Holmes was very angry about it.可知福尔摩斯对于约翰的死很生气.故选:B38.D.根据His ship is called the Star.He and his men are sailing back to Georgia,USA."可知这艘船是去美国,故选:D.
39.A.根据"I'm sending the pips to captain James Calhoun.可知这封信是寄给James Calhoun 的,所以这个符号代表的是James Calhoun,故选:A.
40.D.根据第一段可知显示约翰收到了5个桔核,然后他来求助福尔摩斯,结果被杀了,于是福尔摩斯就想出来给James Calhoun一封信里面有5个桔核,故选D
