一、教法建議
【拋磚引玉】
在 Sports 這一單元，同學們將充分了解奧林匹克運動會 （the Olympic Games 或者 the Olympics ）。當 1896 年的奧運圣火在希臘雅典重新點燃的時候，人們開始認識到，奧林匹克運動在現代社會生活中將越來越顯示出它的重要地位和作用。它以競技的形式，將不同國籍、不同膚色的人民緊緊聯系在一起，人們在五環旗下找到了自己的朋友，奧林匹克成為一種公用的世界語言。奧林匹克運動會是由國際奧林匹克委員會舉辦的多項目的世界綜合性運動會，每四年舉辦一次。
古代奧運會從公元前 776 年在有眾神之王宙斯神廟的奧林匹亞村舉行到公元 393 年間，共舉行過 293 次。393 年羅馬帝國入侵希臘后，羅馬皇帝狄奧多西下令廢止奧運會，并燒毀了運動場建筑。522 和 511 年的兩次地震，把奧林匹亞深深埋在地下。從此，奧運會被人民忘記了。1894 年 6 月，34 國在巴黎召開國際體育大會，成立了國際奧林匹克委員會，并定于 1896 年4 月6 日至 15 日在希臘雅典舉行一一屆現代奧運會。以后每四年舉行一次，如因故不能舉行，奧運會的屆數照算。
現在奧林匹克運動會的比賽項目有：田徑、足球、游泳、籃球、排球、曲棍球、體操、射擊、舉重、自行車、摔跤、柔道、射箭、擊劍、手球、網球、乒乓球、羽毛球等以及冬奧運會滑冰、滑雪、冰球、有舵雪橇與無舵雪橇五項和現代冬季兩項（滑雪 + 射擊）。
奧運會的標志是由五種不同顏色的環圈連接而成，環環相扣，分別代表歐洲（天藍色）、亞洲（黃色）、非洲（黑色）、澳洲（草綠色）、美洲（紅色），象征五大洲的團結；奧運會的會旗以白色為底，以五環為圖案，表示所有民族的運動員友誼，公平坦率的競爭。
奧運會的圣火象征光明，古代與現代奧運會薪傳不斷，在早期的奧運會中，圣火是在奧林匹克法院的奧林匹亞希臘女神赫拉廟旁，用凹面鏡聚焦日光點燃，然后通過長途火炬接力，于奧運會開幕的頭一天到達舉辦城市，點燃塔上的火炬，直到奧運會閉幕，塔上的火焰才熄滅。1936年柏林奧運會采用現代圣火，此后沿襲至今。
中國人民對奧林匹克運動有深厚的感情。在前進發展的道路上，我們深刻體會到體育的特殊社會功能，體會到奧林匹克運動是促進和維護人類和平發展的強大動力。奧運會是一項大規模的國際性社會活動，它受到全社會特別是體育愛好者的關注。奧運會不僅對發展體育運動，增進國際間的體育交往起著巨大的促進作用，同時也是增進世界各國文化交流、增強各國人民友誼的橋梁之一。
正如第 38 課中所述：The Olympic motto is “Swifter , Higher , Stronger .”(奧運會的箴言是：更快、更高、更強) It means that every athlete should try to run faster , jump higher and throw further . They do their best to win medals . In 1988 Olympic Games in Barcelona the Chinese team got 16 gold medals , of which 12 were won by women .
在學習本單元之前，我們還應了解中國選手在亞特蘭大表現出的震撼人心的英雄主義精神。孫福明賽前就爽快地說：“我來這里就是要金牌的。”王軍霞在自己的副項女子 5000 米沖刺中，遠遠甩下對手，沖向終點，博得觀眾席上如潮的掌聲。
這是一種必勝的信念，必勝的氣概 ！ 中國人民就有那種戰勝一切困難、壓倒一切對手的自信。16 個日夜，億萬中國人民同征戰亞特蘭大的英雄兒女心心相印。在神州大地，為中國體育健兒助威的歡呼猶如滾滾春雷，響徹大江南北，匯成一個強音：“中國隊，加油！”人們笑看乒乓四金悉入囊中，人們暢論王軍霞健步如飛摘金奪銀，人們贊賞年輕的大力士占旭剛一舉打破三項世界記錄的威猛 …… 那是一種尊嚴的體驗、一種豪情的抒發、一種光榮的分享、一種志氣的高揚。體育健兒取得的驕人的戰績和氣貫長虹的英雄氣概，向世人昭示：一個偉大的民族正在崛起、正在振興。中國不再是無足輕重的角色，中國人不必仰慕別人的成功，完全可以為自己的光榮感到自豪，中華民族不愧是一個偉大的民族。
中國體育健兒的拼搏，展示了中國人勇于勝利、奮斗不息的精神風貌，證明中華民族不僅在體質上而且在意志品質上十分強健，令人欽佩。“燕臺一去客心驚，蕭鼓喧喧漢將營。萬里寒光生積雪，三邊曙色動危旌。”我們可以從女足隊員飛身搶斷中體會到那種（曙色動危旌）的悲壯，可以從伏明霞驚世的一跳再跳中體會到（寒光生積雪）的險峻，在力量與意志的較量中，不管中國運動員拿到的是金牌、銀牌、銅牌，或者沒有拿到獎牌，都充分展示了一個民族應有的風范。
作為中學生，應通過學習本單元后從靈魂的深處感觸到“自古英雄多磨難，從來紈绔少偉男”。賽場上的輝煌，從來是與艱辛相伴的。沒有超人的付出，就沒有驚人的收獲。要想讓祖國的榮譽、人民的期望隨國旗高升，隨國歌高奏，我們每一個華夏兒女都要有不達目的誓不罷休的拼搏精神。愛國主義是具體的，是我們把它融入千錘百煉的艱辛里，融入超越自我的攀登中。在 21 世紀的悉尼奧運會上，我們完全相信中國體育健兒會更加斗志昂揚，戰績輝煌。
同學們，讓我們張開雙臂去擁抱 21 世紀第一輪升起在奧運會賽場的驕陽，讓我們在莊嚴的五環旗下繼續譜寫壯美的奧林匹克華彩樂章 ！

D. 單元語法學習目標
“介詞 + 關系代詞”引導的定語從句小結
1. 當 which 的先行詞不是從句中及物動詞的賓語，而是從句中不及物動詞所帶的介詞賓語時，或者是從句中作為狀語或定語用的介詞短語中的介詞賓語時，定語從句常用“介詞 + which (whom)”來引導，不用其它關系代詞，whom 指人，which 指物。例如：
The house was built on a hillside , below which was a winding valley . 那所房子建 在山坡上，在山坡的下面有一條蜿蜒的溪谷。
This is the book for which you asked .
My glasses , without which I was like a blind man , felt to the ground and broke .
Here is the young man about whom we've heard so much .
By the side of the well there was a board on which were written these words ：“Don't forget the digger when you fetch water from the well .”在井的旁邊有一塊木板，上面寫著：“飲水莫忘挖井人。”
2. 這樣的介詞可以放在 whom , which 之前，也可以放在從句中原來的位置上。但含有介詞的短語動詞一般不可拆開，介詞仍放在動詞之后，不能前置。例如：
The babies (whom) the nurses look after all look happy and healthy . ( look after 為固定詞組)
Is he the man (whom) you spoke to yesterday ?
Is this the knife which you've looking for all day long ?
對比：This is the house in which Lu Xun once lived . = This is the house (which) Lu Xun once lived in .
3. 如果介詞放在定語從句之后，關系代詞 which , whom 可以用 that 來替換，亦可以省略 which , whom 。
Can you lend me the book (that ) you were talking about the other day ? (about不能放 that 前，但把 that 該為 which 時就可以了。）
The house which / that we live in is not large . = The house we live in is not large . = The house in which we live isn't large .
4. 關系代詞前的介詞選用要按習慣搭配和具體語言環境而選用，不能隨心所欲。例如：
There is a book about which I told you last week . (tell sb about sth)
Everyone here knows the method with which the computer works . (with the method)
The ladder on which I was standing began to slip . (stand on)
5. 但介詞卻不能放在 that 之前，除非可以特殊地使用：but / except + that 。but / except + that 只能引導限制性定語從句。that 只起連接作用，不沖充當句子成分。
He stood there , doing nothing except that his mouth was open .
二、學海導航
【學法指要】
● 請你走出單項填空題的解題思維誤區
誤區之一：受假性“原型”誤導，誤入歧途
NMET的單項填空題往往設置一些所謂的“原型”來誘使作答者模仿。基本功不夠扎實的同學極易“上鉤”而出錯。如：
1 . - Don't forget to return the dictionary to the library .
-____ .
A . I don't B . I won't C . I can't D . I haven't
本題受 Don't forget 的誤導，常誤選A。英語中的祈使句通常表示將來要發生的動作，所以答語中的“我忘不了”實際上是“我(將)不會忘記”。正確答案是B。
2 . - I wonder if your sister will go to the concert .
- If your sister does . so ____ mine .
A . is B . do C . does D . will
本題受 If you sister does 中 does 的誤導，常常誤選C。由于條件狀語從句中常用一般現在時代替一般將來時，所以題中的 If your sister does 中的 does 實際上等于will go to the concert , 所以“我妹妹也去”應該是“Mine will go , too . ”因此正確答案是D。
3 . You should throw the old newspaper into ____ basket .
A . a paper B . paper C . papers D . the papers
通常，paper 表示“紙”，是不可數名詞，前面不帶a，受其誤導，誤選B。但本題講的是要將舊報紙扔進紙簍。“紙”雖不可數，但“紙簍”是可數名詞，因此正確答案是A。
啟示：①解題時要注意對題目進行仔細而全面的分析，防止掉入“陷井”；②尋找解決問題的根據，要注意“走對路”，不要“進錯門”。
〖項固練習〗
1 .- Would you lend me your pen for a while ?
-Certainly I ____ .
A . Would B . should C . will D . shall
2 .- Could I use your bicycle ?
-Yes , of course you ____ .
A . can B . could C . will D . would
3 . I have met ____ people as Lei Feng in China .
A . many B . so many C . many such D . as many
4 . Only when she got home did she find her necklace ____ .
A . miss B . to miss C . missed D . missing
5 .- I've got an extra ticket for one of you .
- Oh , really ? Whom would you like ____ with you , Tom or me ?
A . to have go B . to have gone C . having to go D . having going
誤區之二：忽視“遲到信息”，不瞻前顧后
NMET 單項填空的空白后有時附帶著一些文字信息，通常被稱為“遲到的信息”。這些“遲到的信息”有的是無關緊要的，有的則對答案的選擇起著決定性的作用，忽視這樣的信息，不瞻前顧后，往往要出錯。如：
9 . Jenny ____ have kept her word . I wonder why she changed her mind .
A . could B . might not C . should D . would not
題中的 I wonder why she changed her mind 一句雖為遲到的信息，但它說明 she changed her mind , 也就是 she didn't keep her word , 據此可推斷正確答案是C。
10 .- He promised to come to see you .
- But he ____ I've been alone .
A . doesn't B . din't C . won't D . hasn't
11. 本題若只注意到He promised 而忽略 I've been alone 這一“遲到的信息”，就會誤選答案B。I've been alone 這一句表明，be 不僅過去沒來，而且現在仍沒來，所以正確答案是D。
12 .- Didn't you watch the football match yesterday ?
-____ . I would like to have seen it .
A . Yes , I did B . No , I didn't C . Yes , I didn't D . No , I did
解答本題必須重視 I would like to have seen it 這一“遲到的信息”，它相當于 I had wanted to see it , 意為“我本想觀看它”，可見實際上我沒看足球賽，因此正確答案是B。
啟示：題中的每個信息點包括標點符號都是重要的，不影響答案選擇的信息很少，解題時必須瞻前顧后，通盤考慮。
〖鞏固練習〗
13 . You ____ the plant more water . It is dead .
A . will give B . would have given
C . must give D . should have given批評老師。” (A)去掉 by 和 was。“那調皮的男孩過去經常批評老師。”5 . B(A)沒有定冠詞時，題干的定語從句缺先行詞，故要加上 the one ; 如用 the bookstore 時，the bookstore 即是先行詞，關系代詞 that 在定語從句中作動詞 referred to 的賓語，可以省略；如果題干前半部分 Is it this bookstore ____，該句子即變為強調句時，還是選A，但這時 that 不可以省去。
★ 刪去干擾詞或句，讓“標志”更明顯。例如：
1 . How about (the two of us) ____ a walk down the street ?
A . to take B . take C . taking D . to be taking
2 . ____ the money (John had) ____ ?
A . Did ; stolen B . Was ; stolen
C . Was ; to stolen D . Had ; stolen
3 . His car runs ____ , (if no faster than) a race car .
A . so fast B . as fast C . as fast as D . so fast as
4 . The wonderful time (they have been looking forward to) ____ finally arrived .
A . has B . had C . have D . having
5 . Nobody (but Tom and John) ____ what he said .
A . believe B . believes C . believe in D . believes in
答案：1 . C 2 . B 3 . C 4 . A 5 . B
★ 將題干中被省略的詞補出來，使“標志”更鮮明。例如：
1 . He did ____ he could(do) ____ the old lady .
A . all ; calm B . what ; calm
C . what ; to calm D . all which ; to calm
2 . Only those(who) ____ knew well could be let in .
A . did he B . he did C . who D . he
3 .- Whom should this message be sent to ?
- My teacher is the one (for you) ____ .
A . to send it B . to be sent to C . for sending it D . to send it to
4 . How clever (it is) ____ to do so!
A . for the boy B . of the boy C . with the boy D . at the boy
5 . They don't realize the use (that 或 which) ____ the information .
A . we make of B . which we make
C . for our making D . for us to make
答案及說明：1 . C 2 . D 3 . D 4 . B 5 . A。第5題 A 為定語從句，動詞 make 后的 use 被關系代詞代替，由于關系代詞作賓語被省略。
★ 句子結構還原，主要用于疑問句和省略句的題干。例如：
1 . What way are you thinking of ____ rid of rats ?
A . get B . getting C . to get D . being get
2 . Who did you ____ ____ the radio ?
A . have repaired B . have to repair
C . have repairing D . have repair

A . so I do B . so will I C . so I will D . so do I

答案及說明：1 . C 2 . D 3 . B。省略后倒裝。“If you go there tomorrow , I will go there , too . ” 4 . C。不定式回答“目的”或“原因”。The meeting was called to elect new officials . 再如：
- What made her so upset ?
- ____ a wonderful stamp .
A . To lose B . Lost C . Losing D . For losing
選C。回答 what 作動詞 made 的主語。
當然，選擇題思路很多，只要學會“變”，相信一定會有收獲。
● 單項填空中的合理推測
推測不是瞎猜亂碰，是從題目尋找信息，有理有據，合理推測。
■ 根據題干特定信息進行推測
NMET 題干的設計水平和靈活性逐年提高。有關信息不僅在句子表面，也可能存在于字里行間，或存在于某一個不引入注目的單詞上。所以，首先要細讀題干，精心領會其意義，然后有針對性地、準確地找到某個特定信息，以此為據，推斷定論。切不可讀題粗略，貌然確定答案。
- Do you remember ____ he came ?
- Yes , I do , he came by car .
A . how B . when C . that D . if
從語法上看A，B都可以填，但正確答案只有一個。by car 這一特定信息暗示了問句問的是“方式”，所以A才是最佳選擇。
Peter ____ come with us tonight , but he isn't very sure yet .
A . must B . can C . may D . will
題干后部的意思為 ? “……但他還不十分肯定；”，由此推測他不是“必須來”，不是“將會來”，也不是“能夠來”，而是“可能來”，選C。再如：
- If you don't like the red coat , take the blue one .
- OK , but do you have ____ size in blue ? This one's a bit tight for me .
A . a big B . a bigger C . the big D . the bigger
題干意思是“這一件稍緊一點”，可見他想要的是尺碼較大的。所以 big 要用比較級。題干的另一意思不是“要好一件更大的藍外衣”，而是問“藍外衣中是否有一種尺碼大的”。所以不是特指，應選B。
■ 根據句子結構、語法進行推測
有些題目的考查目的是針對句子結構或語法，這時受試者不但要理解題干，而且要有針對性地分析其語法成份，選出符合結構要求的答案。例如：
John plays football ____ , if not better than , David .
A . as will B . as well as C . so well D . so well as
逗號隔開的部分是插入語，也是一個省略的條件狀語從句，從句中的否定與主句無關。David 是兩者比較的另一方，所以同級比較句型要用 as well as。如果選A，就少了連接從句的連詞。
____ from Beijing to London !
A . How long way it is B . What a long way is it
C . How long way is it D . What a long way it is
way 是可數名詞首先排除A、C。此句不是問句，根據句子結構要求，要用陳述句的語序，選D。
如果你碰到難詞、生詞，不解其意，可以從語法的角度去考慮。盡管對句子的意義仍模糊不清，但通過合理推測卻能找到正確答案。例如：
The weather turned out to be very good , ___ was more than we could expect .
A . what B . which C . that D . it
考生對短語 turn out 不甚了解，但這不影響解題。只要以語法結構為依法。就能推斷出 B是答案，因為只有 which 才能引導非限制性定語從句。turn out to be 意為“結果是……”。請再看：
There're so many kinds of tape-recorders on sale that i can't make up my mind ____ to buy .
A . which B . what C . how D . where
句中的 tape-recorder 和 on sale 課本上都沒有直接出現過，但 buy 是一個熟知的及物動詞，它需要有賓語。因此，這兒要用連接代詞作賓語，首先排除C、D。再根據 which 和 what 的用法區別來取舍。在已知或有限范圍的選擇場合要用 which。因此該選A。tape-recorder 意思是“磁帶錄音機”，on sale 是“出售”。
■ 用排除法推測
選擇填空既是一個觀察、推測、判斷的過程，也是一個將錯誤選項一一排除，找出正確答案的過程。排除法適用于任何一道選擇題。在解題中，利用排除法可以縮小思考范圍，節省時間和精力。例如：
If there were no examinations , we should have ____ at school .
A . the happiest time B . a more happier time
C . much happiest time D . a much happier time
B、C形式上明顯有錯，首先排除，重點考慮A、D。此句不屬三者以上場合，僅是“有考試”與“沒考試”兩種情況的對比。所以推測D是正確答案。
It was not ____ she took off her dark glasses ____ I realized she was a famous film star .
A . until ; when B . when ; that C . until ; that D . when ; then
從結構上看這一句是強調句型，首先排除A、再仔細思考B、C。只有 until 才有這種 not 前移的用法，所以推斷答案為C。
排除法還有個特殊功能：當受試者對某個選項的意義，用法不甚明確，而這個選項又恰恰很可能是正確答案時，可以將其余的選項逐個排除，從而證實它的正確性。這種合理推測能使考生得到意外的收獲。請看：
If you keep on , you'll succeed ____ .
A . in time B . at one time C . at the same time D . on time
B意為“一度”，C意為“同時”，意義都明顯不符合，應予排除。D意為“準時”，意義也不符。A“及時”，意義雖不貼切，但總比B、C、D好一些，合理推測A是正確答案。其實，此處 in time 由“及時”引申為“遲早”、“總有一天”。
■ 根據題目設計的缺陷或弱點欠缺之處推測
有時試題在命題設計上難免存在缺陷或弱點，在無從下手的情況下，利用這些缺陷或弱點，或可曲徑通幽，出奇制勝。通常有兩種情況：(1)有兩個(以上)的選項在語法上可視為“同類項”；(2)有某個選項在語法上明顯錯誤，屬試題命制時的“湊數項”。
對于第一種情況，可先排除“同類項”，因為一道題目不可能出現兩個(以上)的正確答案。例如：
I didn't see your sister at the meeting . If she ____ , she would have met my brother .
A . has come B . did come C . came D . had come
B、C屬“同類項”，都是一般過去時。如果C正確，B也可以填，所以都應排除。剩下A、D相比較，就顯得容易了，A是現在完成時可排除，D是過去完成時，該選D。

THE HOUNDS OF BASKERVILLES ( 獵犬 )
柯南道爾 著
Chapter VI
A CUNNING ENEMY( 一個狡猾的敵人 )
On the way to the Northumberland Hotel , Holmes entered a telegraph office . There he sent a wire to the Official Registry (傭工介紹所) ， inquiring for the name and address of the cabman whose number he had remembered . As the two friends were going up the stairs of the Northumberland Hotel they saw Sir Henry standing on the landing of the second floor . His face was red with anger and he was holding an old and dirty boot in one of his hands .
“By thunder ,” he cried , “ if my boot isn't found immediately there will be trouble . ”
“Are you still looking for your boot ? ” exclaimed Waston .
“Yes , but now another boot has disappeared . Last night they took one of my brown boots , and today they have stolen one from the black pair . Well , have you found it ? ” he asked the servant , who had appeared upon the scene .
“ No, sir . Please have a little patience . I have looked for it everywhere , but I can't find it .” said the frightened servant .
“Well , either that boot comes back before night , or I go straight to the manager of the hotel . ”
“ It shall be found , sir ?/FONT> I promise you . Only have a little patience ,” exclaimed the frightened servant .
“ Very strange ,” said Holmes thoughtfully to himself .
“ Excuse me , Mr. Holmes , for this quarrel about a trifle (小時) ,” said Sir Henry , “ but 棥?/P>
“ It is not a trifle ,” interrupted . Holmes seriously . “ Your case is very hard . Sir Henry , but I hope that sooner or later we shall make things clear .”
At lunch Holmes asked Sir Henry what he intended to do .
“ I want to go to Baskerville Hall ,” was the answer .
“ And when ? ”
“At the end of the week .”
“ Perhaps you are right ,”said Holmes . “I know that you are followed in London and among the millions of this great city it is difficult to discover who the spy is and what he wants . You did not know , Dr. Mortimer , that you were followed this morning ? ”
“Followed !” exclaimed Dr. Mortimer , starting violently . “By whom ?”
“That , unfortunately , I can't tell you . Have you among your neighbours or acquaintances (熟人) any man with a large black beard ?” asked Holmes .
“ No ,?/FONT>oh ?/FONT> yes , certainly , Barrymore , Sir Charles's servant . He has a large black beard .” replied Dr. Mortimer .
“And where is Barrymore ?”
“He is at the Hall .”
“We must make sure that he is really there .”
“How can we do that ?”
“Give me a telegraph form . Write : ‘ Is all ready for Sir Henry ? ’address to Mr. Barrymore , Baskerville Hall . Which is the nearest telegraph-office ? ”
“Grimpen .”
“Very good . We shall send a second wire to the postmaster at Grimpen：‘ Telegram to Mr. Barrymore deliver into his own hands . If absent , return telegram to Sir Henry Baskerville , Northumberland Hotel .’Then we shall know before evening where Barrymore is . By the way , Dr. Mortimer , who is this Barrymore ?”
“He is the son of the old caretaker (管家) who is dead . He and his wife are a very respectable couple , as far as I know .”
“At the same time it's clear ,”said Baskerville , “that while there is nobody at the Hall , they have an easy life .”
“That is true ,” said Waston .
“Did Barrymore get anything by Sir Charles's will ?” asked Holmes .
“ He and his wife got 500 pounds each .”
“Did they know that they would receive this ?”
“Yes , Sir Charles liked to talk about his will .”
“That is very interesting . Did anyone else get anything ?”
“He left many small sums to individuals and a large number of public charities . The rest all went to Sir Henry , ”explained Dr. Mortimer .
“And how much was the rest ?”
“Seven hundred and forty thousand pounds . The total value of the estate is almost a million ” answered Dr. Mortimer .
Holmes looked surprised . “ I didn't think that he was so rich , ”he said . “That explains some things . I can understand that a man may risk much for such a large sum . Have you made your will , Sir Henry ? ”
“No , Mr. Holmes , I have not . I've had no time for it . You forget I arrived here only yesterday .”
“ Well , Sir Henry , I agree that it's best for you to go to your native place without delay , but you certainly must not go alone . ”
“ Dr. Mortimer returns with me . ”
“But Dr. Mortimer has his practice , and his house is some miles away from yours . No , Sir Henry , you must take with you someone who will always be by your side .”
“Could you come yourself , Mr. Holmes ? ”
“That's quite impossible . I cannot leave London for an indefinite time , as I am too busy .”
“Whom would you recommend (推薦) then .”
Holmes laid his hand upon Waston's arm . “There is no man who could be better than my friend Dr. Waston , ”he said .
“That would be really kind of you , ”Sir Henry exclaimed . “If you go with me to Baskerville Hall and help me , I shall never forget it . ”
“I will come with pleasure , ”said Dr. Waston .
“And you must report everything to me , ”said Holmes . “ I shall tell you how to act . ”
The question was soon settled . It was decided that Sir Henry , Dr. Mortimer and Waston set off for Devonshire on Saturday . Lunch was over and Holmes was just saying goodbye , when Sir Henry with a cry of surprise drew a brown boot from under a table in the corner of the room .
“ My missing boot ! ” he exclaimed .
“ But this is very strange .”said Dr. Mortimer . “ I searched this room carefully before lunch and there was certainly no boot in it .” said Dr. Mortimer .
The servant was called in and questioned , but he said he knew nothing about it .
Holmes was silent in the cab as he drove home with Waston . All the evening he sat in his armchair smoking and thinking . So many strange things had happened in these two days - the printed letter , the black-bearded spy in the cab , the loss of the new boot , the loss of the old black boot , and now the return of the brown boot . Just before dinner a telegram was brought . It ran : “Have just received answer from postmaster , Grimpen . Berrymore is at the Hall . Baskerville .”
A few minutes later the door bell rang and a man entered the room .
“ I was told that you wanted to see the cabman of No. 2704 , ”he said . “I have come to ask you what you have against me .”
“ I have nothing against you , my good fellow ,”said Holmes . “ On the contrary , if you give me a clear answer to my question , I shall reward you .”
“Well , what did you want to ask , sir ? ”
“First of all your name and address . ”
“John Clayton , 3 , Turpey Street .”
Holmes put it down . “Now , Clayton ,” he said , “tell me all about the gentleman who was in your cab this morning . He was watching the house at ten o'clock and then he followed two gentlemen down Regent Street .”
The cabman looked a little embarrassed . “You seem to know everything , ”he said . “But you see , the gentleman told me that he was a detective and I must not speak to anyone about him .”
“My good fellow , this is a very serious business and your position will be very bad if you try to hide anything from me . Did the gentleman say anything else ?”
“He told me his name .”
“His name ? What was it ?”
“ It was Mr. Sherlock Holmes , ” answered tha cabman .
For a moment Holmes was too much surprised to speak . Then he burst into a hearty laugh . “Excellent !” he exclaimed . “Now , Clayton , tell me all about him .”
“Well , sir , he stopped me at half-past nine in Trafalgar Square . He said that he was a detective and offered me two sovereigns (金鎊) if I did exactly what he wanted all day and asked no questions . I was glad to agree . First we drove to the Northumberland Hotel and waited there until two gentlemen came out and took a cab in the street . We followed their cab until it stopped somewhere near this house . We waited for about an hour . Then the two gentlemen passed us walking and we followed them along ”
“ I know ,” said Holmes , “go on .”
“So we were following them down Regent Street when suddenly my gentleman closed the window and cried to me drive as fast as I could to Waterloo Station . We were there in ten minutes . He paid me two sovereigns and went into the station . At the last moment he turned round and said : ‘It may interest you know that you have driven Mr. Sherlock Holmes .’That is all .”
Holmes laughed :“So his name was Sherlock Holmes , he said ?”
“Yes , sir , that was the gentleman's name . ”
“And can you describe that gentleman .”
The cabman scratched his head . “ Well , it isn't so easy to describe him . He is about forty and is of middle height . He has a black beard and a pale face . That is all I can say about him .”
“ Well then , here is your half-sovereign , and you will have another one if you can bring any more information . Good night ! ”
When the cabman had gone , Holmes turned to his friend with a sad smile : “ Our enemy is cunning , Waston , ” he said . “ This time he has beaten me . It's a dangerous business and I shall be happy when you return safe and sound to London again .”
Chapter VII
AT BASKERVILLE HALL ( 在巴斯克維爾莊園 )
On the appointed (約定) day , Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr. Mortimer were at the station . Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Waston soon joined them there .
“ I don't want you to make any judgements , Waston. ” said Homles to his friend , taking him aside . “I only want you to report all the possible facts to me .”
“ What sort of facts ? ” asked Waston .
“ Everything that has the smallest connection with this case ?/FONT> and especially the relations between Sir Henry and his neighbours . If you hear of any new details connected with the death of Sir Charles , do let me know . And study the people who live on the moor near Baskerville Hall ?/FONT> the Barrymores , Dr. Mmortimer , the naturalist Stapleton and his sister , Mr. Frankland and one or two other neighbours . ”
“ I will do my best . ”
“ Have you taken arms ? ”
“ Yes , I thought it necessary .”
“ Certainly . Keep your revolver (左輪手槍) near you day and night and be very careful . ”
“ I will , my dear friend . Don't worry . ”
By the way , Sir Henry , ” said Holmes , turning to young Baskerville who was talking to Dr. Mortimer , “ have you found your black boot ?”
“ No , Mr. Holmes , it has disappeared . ”
“That's very interesting . Well , goodbye ,” he added as the train began to move , “ and remember , Sir Henry , don't walk on the moor alone when it is dark .”
When they were on their way , Sir Henry , who was looking out of the window , seemed happy to see the land where he had spent his childhood . The train stopped at a small station and the three men got out . A carriage with a pair of horses was waiting for them . The station was a quiet , pleasant spot and Waston was surprised to see two soldiers standing by the station gate . They looked at all the passers-by . The coachman greeted Sir Henry and soon the carriage with the three men was rolling swiftly along the road . On the top of the hill there stood another soldier . He was watching the road . The coachman explained to them that a prisoner had escaped from the prison of Princetown and was hiding on the moor . The man was a dangerous murderer , and the soldiers had received orders to watch every road and every station , but they had not yet found him . Somewhere there , on the dark moor, was this terrible man , hiding in a hole like a beast . This made the wild and sad place seem still wilder and sadder . Soon the road turned sharply and the wide , silent moor came in sight . A few minutes later the carriage stopped before a large house from which rose two high narrow towers .
“ Welcome to Baskerville Hall , Sir Henry , ” said a tall man with a black beard , opening the door of the carriage . It was Barrymore , the servant . His wife came forward to help take down the luggage as well .
Dr. Mortimer refused to stay for dinner , saying that his wife was expecting him back . He said goodbye to Sir Henry and Waston and then the carriage rolled away . The two men entered the hall . It was a very fine hall , large high , with a great old-fashioned fireplace . The Barrymores had taken the luggage to the bedroom .
Barrymore came up to ask : “Will you have dinner now , sir ? ”
“ Is it ready ? ”
“ Yes , sir . I should like to tell you that my wife and I will be happy to serve you for some time , but then we should like to go . ”
“ But why ? ” Sir Henry asked in surprise .
“ You see , sir , the death of Sir Charles has made this house very unpleasant to us . ”
“ Well , we shall speak about this later . Now show us the dinning-room . My friend and I are hungry after our journey . ”
A few minutes later Sir Henry and Waston were seated at the dinner table . The room was dark and gloomy (郁悶) . There was a long line of old family portraits on the wall and their silent company was not pleasant . The two men talked little and when dinner was over they were happy to go to the modern billiard-room and smoke a cigarette .
“ It isn't a very cheerful place , ” said Sir Henry . “ I am not surprised that my poor uncle felt nervous in such an gloomy house . But let us go to bed early tonight , perhaps in the morning we shall feel more cheerful .”
They said good night to each other and went to their rooms . Before going to bed Waston opened the window and looked out . In the cold light of the moon he could see the strange moor . Everything was silent around . Waston went to bed . He was very tired , yet he could not sleep . Far away a clock struck twelve . Suddenly the stillness of the night was broken by an unexpected sound . It was the sobbing (啜泣) of a woman . Waston sat up in bed and listened all ears . The woman was sobbing not far away , certainly in the house . The sound stopped suddenly as it had began . For half an hour Waston waited to hear the sound again , but all was still .

DR. WASTON MEETS STAPLETON ,
THE NATURALIST
( 華生醫師同生物學家斯臺普頓的會見 )
The next morning it was bright and sunny , and the room looked quite cheerful as Sir Henry and Waston sat down to breakfast .
“ We were tired and cold after our journey last night , ” said Sir Henry , “ so the place seemed uncomfortable . Now , after a good rest , we are fresh and well and the house is more cheerful . ”
“ That's true , but didn' t you hear the sobbing of a woman in the night ? ”
“ It's strange ,”said Sir Henry in a loud voice , “ for when I was half-asleep , I heard something of the sort . I thought it took place in my dream .”
“I heard it clearly and I am sure that it was really the sobbing of a woman ,”said Waston .
“ We shall ask Barrymore about it , ” said Sir Henry ringing the bell .
Barrymore became pale when he
