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？

6.句意：Barrymore手里拿着蜡烛轻轻地走在过道上。

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。
