答案：BBCCC

解析：

1. 题干的意思是“福尔摩斯和华生那天早上在等谁的到来？”。根据原文，那天早上，他们在等待一个叫詹姆斯·摩梯末的医生，三天前他们收到了摩梯末医生的来信，他请求和福尔摩斯约个时间见面（对应原文：It was Dr James Mortimer, who asked for an appointment with Holmes.）。所以，B选项正确。

2. 根据原文，华生一直在帮福尔摩斯办案，所以让华生旁听对话，对于华生了解案情并协助福尔摩斯会有所帮助。A选项“因为华生想听对话”，B选项“因为华生帮福尔摩斯办案”，C选项“因为华生是福尔摩斯的好朋友”。因此，正确答案是B。

3. 题干的意思是“摩梯末长什么样？”。根据原文，摩梯末医生看起来并不像一个乡间医生，他身材高大，身体瘦削，鼻子细长，带着一副金丝眼镜。A选项“他看起来像一位乡村医生”，B选项“他身材矮小且肥胖”，C选项“他鼻子细长且带着金丝眼镜”，所以选C。

4. 题干的意思是“摩梯末医生来自哪里？”。根据原文，摩梯末医生来自德文郡（对应原文：I'm Dr James Mortimer, from Grimpen in Devonshire.）。因此，正确答案是C。

5. 那天早上，摩梯末医生和福尔摩斯预约了10点半到，而他正好在10点半准时抵达。A不正确。福尔摩斯提到摩梯末在信中并未说明来意，因而担心这位医生并不会带来任何有趣的事情。所以B不正确。C选项正确（对应原文：His face was young, but his shoulders were bent like an old man's.）。
