答案：CBBAC

解析：

A“他很感兴趣”，B“他很兴奋”，C“他显得很不耐烦”。根据原文，福尔摩斯觉得这个故事是吓唬人的，很无聊（对应原文：He looked bored.）。故选C。

题干的意思是“查尔斯爵士在巴斯克维尔庄园生活了多久？”。根据故事，他在庄园里生活了两年（对应原文：Although he lived at Baskerville Hall for only two years, everyone liked him.）。故选B。

题干的意思是“官方对查尔斯爵士死亡的报告显示了什么？”。根据原文，官方的死亡报告表明，其中没有谋杀成分，查尔斯就是死于自然原因（对应原文：It does show there was no question of murder. Sir Charles died from natural causes.）。A “他是被谋杀的”，B“他死于自然原因”，C“被巴斯克维尔猎犬杀死了”。所以，正确答案是B。
