解析：
【分析】
这是一篇节选自侦探名著《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》的完形填空，解题时首先要通读全文，梳理清楚故事主线：华生前往荒野寻找此前发现的神秘瘦高男子，意外在山洞中遇到福尔摩斯，后者带来了关于斯台普顿身份的关键线索。解题时不需要纠结少量陌生表达，优先定位每道空对应的上下文线索，很多题目都有前后文的原词复现作为提示，结合词义辨析就能快速选出正确答案，遇到拿不准的选项可以先跳过，读完后文回头验证就能得到正确结论。
【解析】
我们逐题结合语境和线索分析：
1. 后文明确提到“I want to find the rock where I saw the tall thin man”，直接对应前文站在岩石上的高个男人，选B.rock，排除A农场、C船、D地板，均不符合语境。
2. 后文提到华生想要找到那个瘦高男人弄清真相，因此如果能找到这个人，就能解开问题的答案，选C.find，排除A对待、B面对、D带来，不符合逻辑。
3. 后文原句出现“It is a beautiful evening”，直接点明时间是傍晚，选A.evening，排除B早上、C下午、D正午。
4. 前文提出疑问“And who followed us?”，对应此处华生想弄清对方为什么要跟踪他们，选B.following，排除A呼叫、C不喜欢、D憎恨，不符合前文线索。
5. 后文提到“It is very quiet”，对应傍晚荒野的氛围是安静的，选D.quiet，排除A危险的、B奇怪的、C吵闹的，和后文描述矛盾。
6. 开篇提到有人藏在荒野里，华生发现山洞后猜测这就是对方藏身的地方，选A.hiding，排除B工作、C画画、D跳舞，均不符合前文“有人躲藏”的设定。
7. 华生往山洞里面看，没人但是洞内有面包和生火的痕迹，选C.inside（在…里面），排除A在…下面、B来自、D在…外面，不符合场景。
8. 确认这是对方的据点后，华生决定躲在山洞里等待，选B.decide，排除A忘记、C希望、D记得，不符合动作逻辑。
9. 后文是福尔摩斯开口说话的内容，华生听到的是人的说话声，选D.voice，排除A时钟、B哭喊、C歌曲，不符合语境。
10. 前文多次提到华生之前看到的是“tall thin man”，现在站在洞口的就是这个瘦高的人，选B.thin，排除A强壮的、C胖的、D矮的，和前文描述矛盾。
11. 后文福尔摩斯说出了斯台普顿的妻子不是妹妹的结论，这是他查到的新的关键信息，选A.information，排除B故事、C笑话、D广告，不符合语境。
12. 华生听到这个结论后询问福尔摩斯是否确定这个消息，固定搭配be sure of表示“确定、确信”，选C.sure，排除A害怕的、B疲惫的、D兴奋的，不符合对话逻辑。
13. 后文直接提到“The teacher is clearly our Mr Stapleton”，说明斯台普顿之前的身份是老师，选A.teacher，排除B医生、C护士、D服务员，和后文线索矛盾。
14. 这里描述事件顺序：他从学校拿了很多钱，然后和妻子消失，表顺承关系用B.Then，排除A或者、C因为、D自从，逻辑不通。
15. 后文提到星星开始出来了，说明天渐渐变黑了，选D.dark，排除A下雨的、B温暖的、C寒冷的，和后文星星出现的线索不匹配。
