【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了Betty阿姨原计划乘坐时间机器去3050年，但是由于机器出了故障，不得不到海南度假。

【1】decided 考查时态。本句的时间状语的last year，这是一个过去的时间，所以本句使用过去式decided。

【2】the 考查冠词。本句中使用定冠词the修饰名词time travel company，表示特指。

【3】to handle 考查不定式。当形容词是easy或difficult的时候，后面常常使用不定式的主动形式to do表示被动含义。如The question is easy to answer.这个问题很容易解决。

【4】motivation 考查名词。横线前面有定冠词the修饰，说明横线应该使用名词做动词increase的宾语。动词motivate的名词是motivation。

【5】and 考查连词。句意：当他按下按钮开始旅途的时候，有一道闪电并且航天舱坏掉了。上下文之间是并列关系，所以使用并列连词and连接前后文。

【6】terrified 考查形容词。形容词terrified感到害怕的，该词通常修饰人，本句中充当宾语补足语对动词made的宾语her的情况进行说明。

【7】reliable 考查形容词。本句中横线所填之词要与形容词efficient是并列关系，都应该使用形容词修饰。所以使用形容词“reliable值得信赖的”。

【8】Obviously 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词在句中做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词乃至整个句子，所以本句中使用副词obviously在句中做状语修饰整个句子。

【9】visiting 考查动名词。介词of的后面要接动名词做of的宾语，所以本句中使用动名词visiting的形式。

【10】for 考查介词。本句中介词for表示目的，Betty阿姨去海南度假了。介词短语for her holiday在句中作目的状语。
