【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個交通事故，故事主人翁危險駕車，與搭乘車輛的人均未系安全帶，最后引起了一起事故，最后Kevin Daly因此被判三年刑期。此類題型要注意句子間的邏輯關(guān)系，以及時態(tài)，固定搭配等用法。

【1】考查sentence的用法。①用作名詞時，意為“句子；宣判”；②用作動詞時，意為“宣判；判決”。此題考查其作動詞的用法，be sentenced to 被判處，且因為全文時態(tài)以過去時為主，故填was sentenced.

【2】考查句子理解。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上判斷，空白處應(yīng)填入的成分為形容詞來修飾partner. 根據(jù)句意，此題填入形容詞性物主代詞最符合邏輯，且主人翁為男性，故填his.

【3】考查介詞用法。mph=miles per hour 每小時英里數(shù)。可知前面應(yīng)填修飾速度的介詞。at常用來表示速度、價格、溫度等，eg: The train runs at fifty kilometers an hour.句意：Daly在以80英里每小時的時速駕駛朋友Alice的車時，車子失控，他被判處近三年的刑期。故填at.

【4】考查狀語從句。句意：當(dāng)他撞上對向駛來的汽車時，她被甩出了車子。此題要注意when和while的區(qū)別，兩者均表示“當(dāng)…時候”，when多強調(diào)某一時間點；而while則表示某一時間段，謂語動詞要為延續(xù)性動詞。此題“was thrown”和“crashed”均為瞬間動詞，故此題應(yīng)填入when.

【5】考查現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。相當(dāng)于 “… he crashed into the vehicle which is moving in the opposite direction” 省略從句的主語和謂語，相當(dāng)于現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。故填moving.

【6】考查die的用法。deny doing sth 拒絕、否認(rèn)做某事 cause sth 導(dǎo)致；引起。故空白處應(yīng)填入名詞。要注意die的各種形式：原形die, 過去時和過去分詞均為died, 現(xiàn)在分詞dying, 形容詞dead, 名詞death. 故此題為death.

【7】考查固定搭配。neither… nor… 既不…也不… ；兩者都不 句意：Daly和Hicks在撞擊發(fā)生時都沒有系安全帶。故填nor.

【8】考查wait用法。wait to do sth. 等著做某事 句意：當(dāng)?shù)缆繁灰惠v等著右轉(zhuǎn)的卡冊堵住時…。故填to turn.

【9】考查從句。填空處后面為完整句子，可知describe后接賓語從句，故填that引導(dǎo)賓語從句。

【10】考查but的用法。句意：目擊者描述道他很少有可能或幾乎不可能將車停在停著的車后面，轉(zhuǎn)向為了避讓貨車，然而撞到另一邊的馬自達(dá)。but作連詞時，意為“但是；然而”；but作介詞時，意為“除…之外”，eg：I had nothing to do but wait. 除了等待，我別無他法。but作副詞，意為“只不過”，eg：She is but a young girl. 她只不過是一個小女孩。
