【解析】

1.1】考察连词的用法。so……..that “如此…….以至于”，句意：他是如此饥饿以至于他决定在下一家讨一顿饭。

2.2】根据主句的时态However, he lost his nerve (神经 ) …..是一般过去式，所以时间状语从句的时态和主句相关联也用一般过去时，用opened。句意：然而，当一个可爱的女士开门的时候他失去了勇气。

3.3】从上下文考虑。从整篇文章可以看出主体时态是过去时态。而且根据后面的looked 和 brought 可知用thought。

4.4】考察固定用法from the bottom of my heart “从我心底里”。

5.5】修饰ill 所以用副词 badly “严重地”。句意：多年之后那位女士得了重病且最终被送到大城市的医院。

6.6】考察固定短语。at once “立刻，马上” 。

7.7】考察固定短语do one’s best “尽某人最大的努力”。句意：Dr. Kelly走进他的房间马上就认出了她而且决定尽自己最大的努力去救她。

8.8】考察被动语态。save 和主语the woman 之间是被动关系，所以应用被动语态 。

9.9】考察be afraid 的用法 。be afraid to do sth “害怕去做某事”。句意：她害怕打开它（账单），因为她确信它会花费她整个余生来偿还

10.10】从上下文考虑。由前文……so she brought him a large glass of milk 可知是milk。句意：已经用一杯牛奶付了全款。
