—, though he insisted that he hadn't done anything against the law.

A.I don't agree
B.I suppose so
C.I don't think so
D.He supposes so

10. B

【分析】首先通读对话，明确语境：前者推测“那个年轻人一定和这起犯罪有关”，答语中的though（尽管）引导让步状语从句，说明答者虽提到年轻人的辩解，但仍认同前者的推测。需结合语境判断答语的态度，再逐一分析选项。
【解析】对话逻辑为：前者提出推测，答语用though表让步，即“尽管他坚称自己没做违法的事”，说明答者认同前者的推测。选项分析：A项“我不同意”、C项“我不这么认为”均表否定，不符合让步后的逻辑；D项主语为He，不符合对话中第一人称回应的语境；B项“I suppose so”意为“我想是这样”，契合语境，故选B。
【答案】B
【知识点】情景交际
【点评】本题考查日常情景交际，需结合让步状语从句的逻辑关系判断答语，难度适中。

Holmes rubbed(摩擦)his hands together excitedly. His eyes shone. "Tell us your story," he said.
Miss Morstan began her story and we listened. "My father," she began, "was a captain(上尉) in the army. When I was very young, he was sent to India. My mother was dead and I had no other relatives in England. So, while my father was away, I was sent to school. When I was seventeen, I received a letter from my father. He said that he was leaving India and coming back to England. He gave me the address of a hotel in London. He asked me to meet him there."
"I was very happy and excited about seeing my dear father again. I went to London and arrived at the hotel. I asked for Captain Morstan, my father. But I was told by the hotel manager that my father was not there. He had gone out the night before and not returned. I waited all day and all night, but my father didn't come back to the hotel. Finally, I went to the police. They advertised(登广告) for Captain Morstan in all the newspapers, but without success. I never saw my dear father again."
"Four years after my father disappeared," continued Miss Morstan, "I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. The date was 4th May 1882. To my surprise, the advertisement asked for the address of Miss Mary Morstan. It said that if I advertised my address, I would receive some very good news."
"What did you do?" asked Holmes. "I advertised my address in the same newspaper. The next day, I received a small cardboard box. Inside the box was a lovely pearl(珍珠). And I have received another five pearls since that day. They arrive every year on the same day. Look!" She opened a flat box and showed us six beautiful pearls.
"" asked Holmes. "Nothing at all," replied Miss Morstan. Then she continued. "But the strangest thing of all happened this morning. That is why I came to see you. This morning, I received a letter. Please read it."

【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据文章最后一段“ But the strangest thing of all happened this morning. That is why I came to see you. This morning, I received a letter. Please read it.”可知，Miss Morstan来找Holmes的主要原因是收到了奇怪的信，故选D。
