【解析】：

這是一個黑色幽默，饑寒交迫的老婦，萬般無奈，只好求助于上帝，幫助她的不是上帝而是警察，可警察在人們心中的印象卻是“凡被警察碰過的只有一半被留下”，可悲！

1.被派去打仗了，要用被動語態。

2.于是，老人總為自己的衣、食而擔心。C很具有迷惑性。但它的意思指“考慮”，沒有A準確。

3.第二天，他被發現死在冰冷的湖里。

4.他的衣服被掛在樹上。hang - hanged -hanged 此時的hang 作“絞死”講，hang - hung -hung 意為“懸掛”。

5.兒子死了，丈夫沒有了，此時她的心情唯有sad來描述。

6.從but可知政府沒有幫助她。fail“沒成功”。

7.all asleep 固定短語，入睡。

8.她需要食物，衣服，但不可以選A，B，C，而D的外延最廣，她需要幫助。

9.finish writing 寫完信。

10.發現自己沒有郵票。從常識不難推斷。

11.上文所提及的那封信。

12.這是一個巧合，當然對于老婦來說更是一種幸運。所以其他選項不符合意思。

13.警察們被信的內容所感動。其他選項都不是他們看信后的心情。

14.開始老人看到錢，當然很高興，但開始數錢時，她不是這樣想了。

15.她認為警察把她的錢也給拿走了一半，所以生氣。
