15. _______________, someone rang me up.

A. While I left

B. While leaving

D. While I was leaving 答案：D

解析：句意为“当我正要离开时，有人给我打电话。”A选项是错误的，因为while引起的从句表示的是一个时间段，必须用进行时态表示动作持续的期间，不能用一般过去时；B选项是分词短语作状语的结构，动作必须是句子主语发出的，而此处leave并不是someone发出的动作；C选项是用on/upon doing …的介词短语来表示“刚/一……”的意思，动作必须是句子主语发出的，此处不符。因此只有D正确。
