【解析】

本文讲述了黛博拉·桑普森一个女人喜欢冒险，于是她装扮成男人参军的的故事。

【1】句意：他太虚弱了，不能说话或走动。busy忙的，weak虚弱的，surprised惊讶的，strong强壮的。根据前文lay dying in a hospital bed可知他非常“虚弱的”，故选B。

【2】句意：“我想这个年轻人已经去世了，”一个人说。got up起床，lost heart失去信心，passed away去世，got lost丢失。根据前文他太虚弱而不能说话也不能走动，所以别人认为他已经死了，故选C。

【3】句意：罗伯特用尽全力低声说：“我……我还活着。”whisper低声说，cry大声哭喊，shout 大喊，大叫，laugh大笑。根据语境，他非常虚弱，所以只能“低声说”，故选A。

【4】句意：“我们可以救他，”他一边检查那个年轻士兵一边说，“哦，天哪！他是个女人！”

accept接受，kill杀掉，support支持。save挽救，节约。医生跑过来为他检查，所以可以推测医生想“挽救他”，故选D。

【5】句意：参考第4小题。soldier士兵，mother妈妈，woman女人，father爸爸。根据后文who was she?可知这个年轻士兵是个女人，故选C。

【6】句意：但她是谁？though虽然，but但是表示转折；or或者，否则；however然而；后面需要用逗号隔开。根据语境，我们现在只知道她是个女的，是黛博拉·桑普森，但是她到底是个什么人我们仍然不知道，所以这里表示转折，故选B。

【7】句意：她梦想着去冒险。died死；talked谈话，heard听到，dreamed梦想。根据句意及句子中的of,可知表示梦想dream of….,故选D。

【8】句意：1775年革命战争爆发时，妇女不被允许参军。when当…时候，while当…时候，后面一般跟延续性动词；until直到；since自从。根据句意，这里表示“当战争爆发的时候”，且broke out是短暂性动词，故选A。

【9】句意：黛博拉却穿得像个勇士，成为一个战士。work工作，dress打扮，穿衣服，act扮演，live生活，居住。结合句意及句子中的as可知，用到短语dress sb as把某人装扮成….,故选B。

【10】句意：一天，在一次袭击中，黛博拉的脖子和腿中弹。arm胳膊，hand手，leg腿，stomach胃部。根据后文She was afraid that if the doctor examined her leg,可知她的腿受了伤，故选C。

【11】句意：另一个士兵把黛博拉抬进马车里，带她去了医院。hospital医院；library图书馆；studio工作室；bedroom卧室。根据后文A doctor treated the wound on her back可推测，另一个士兵带她去了医院，故选A。

【12】句意：一位医生治疗了她背部的伤口，并询问她是否还有其他受伤。根据语境，医生在问黛博拉是否有其它地方受伤，所以这里代词用来替代黛博拉，故选A。

【13】句意：她担心如果医生检查她的腿，他会发现她的秘密。appearance表面，ability能力，beauty美丽，secret秘密。根据上下文，她不让医生检查她的腿是因为害怕医生看出她是个女人，所以这是一个秘密，故选D。

【14】句意：她继续以士兵的身份战斗。A.失败，B.继续，C.同意，D.计划。根据句意，他受伤自己取出子弹之后继续奋斗，故选B。

【15】句意：但她仍然渴望冒险。A.家，B.时尚，C.和平，D.冒险；根据后文So she put on her soldier’s uniform and travelled around the country他她穿上士兵的制服，周游全国，可知她仍然渴望冒险，故选D。

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了黛博拉·桑普森一个女人喜欢冒险，于是她装扮成男人参军的的故事，章内容比较易于理解。完形填空属于综合运用题，主要考察学生在具体语境中对语言的运用，做题时既需要对文章的理解，又需要一定的辨析推测能力。做题时应先通读全文，再根据对四个选项的辨析，推测出正确答案，同时注意空前后的搭配。按照由易到难的顺序做完后，要再读一遍短文进行检查。例如第1小题，此题考察对形容词的辨析，根据前文lay dying in a hospital bed 再结合四个选项可知，只有weak最符合语境，故选B。
