【1】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语sign和say之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填saying。

【2】

考查介词。句意：当他看见空降部队在完成2008年汶川地震营救工作之后，离开时，他说“我长大了，也要当一个空降兵。”根据句意和句子结构可知，此处用介词after“……之后”符合语境，故填after。

【3】

考查连词。句意：现在程已经成为了中国空军的一个战士，就像他说的那样。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处用连词as“像……一样”引导方式状语从句，故填as。

【4】

考查时态。由and可知，该空与前面的skipped并列，表示“过去的过去”，用过去完成时，因此该填go的过去分词形式gone，故填gone。

【5】

考查名词的数。分析句子可知，此处应用名词作为take away的宾语，由后文的his little niece and his classmates，可知应用life的复数形式，故填lives。

【6】

考查特殊疑问词。句意：他说：“我们幸存了下来，却陷入了绝望，不知道做什么。”根据句意和句子结构可知，此处考查“特殊疑问词+ to do”作宾语， what to do“做什么”，故填what。

考查副词。句意：后来，他知道黄继光曾在该部队。根据句意可知，此处用副词once“曾经”符合语境，故填once。

【9】

考查冠词。结合上下文可知，此处特指“抗美援朝”这场战争，应用定冠词，也可考虑是这场战争的名字，将定冠词大写，故填the/The。
